A young Bible college student was witnessing in Atlanta, GA. As he approached one house an elderly gentleman was sitting in his chair on the front porch. He asked, “Are you a Christian?” “No, I’m a Smith. The Christians live two doors down.” “I don’t think you understand. I mean, are you lost?” “No, sonny, I ain’t lost. I’ve lived here for 25 years.” “But are you ready for the judgment day?” “When’s it going to be?” “Well, it could be today or it could be tomorrow.” “Don’t tell my wife. She’ll want to go both days.”

No, I don’t think anybody will want to go to the final judgment two days in a row Judge Judy would be a piece of cake by comparison. One time will be sufficient and we will have no choice about that.
