A Parrot Named Moses
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Nov 14, 2021 (message contributor)
A PARROT NAMED MOSES
A thief broke into a beautiful suburban house and was looking around for things to steal when he heard a voice say, “Better be careful…Jesus is watching you!” He stopped for a moment and heard it again…
The surprised thief froze in his tracks and looked around, shining the flashlight until he saw a parrot staring at him from inside a cage.
“Did you just say something to me?” he asked the parrot.
“Yes, I said, Jesus is watching you.” the parrot repeated.
“What is your name?” asked the thief.
“My name is Moses” said the parrot. “And, I’m warning you, Jesus is watching you.”
The man laughed and said, “I don’t believe in Jesus. And besides that, you have a dumb name for a bird. I mean, what kind of an idiot would name their parrot, Moses?”
The parrot replied, “The same kind of idiot who would have a 150 pound Rotweiller dog named…..Jesus!"

A Hill To Die On Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 20, 2016
Why wasn't Moses allowed into the Promised Land? The short answer is: he sinned, but somehow that doesn't seem quite fair. He was one of the greatest and meekest men in Scripture. Is there something more about God's decision that we need to know?
