Within A Small Community Where Everyone Knew Everyone; The Local Preacher Used To Ride His Old Bike Around Town. Being His Only Transportation He Cared And Pampered It. One Day A Guy Was Taking Care Of His Lawn And The Local Preacher Came Walking Up And The Guy Says, “hey, Preacher Where's Your Bike? Why Aren't You Riding It?” The Preacher Replies ”i Think Someone Stole It, I Woke Up This Morning And It Was Gone!”
the Other Man In Disgust Says “how Horrible..!! You Know What You Should Do? Next Sunday During Service Preach The Ten Commandments….real Fire And Brimstone Style With Yelling And Fists Smacking The Podium. Then, When You Get To The Part About ‘thou Shalt Not Steal' I Bet The Guilty Party Will Cry And Confess Right There In The Sanctuary.”
the Preacher Thinks This Is A Great Idea.
a Week Goes By And The Man Sees The Preacher Out On His Old Bike And Waves Him Over To Chat.
he Says “i See You Got Your Bike Back Preacher!” The Preacher Nods. The Man Asks “did You Preach The Ten Commandments, Really Lay It Down Rough For The Congregation?” The Preacher Nods Again.
the Man Keeps Going “,and When You Said ‘thou Shalt Not Steal Did They Confess?” The Preacher Said “no….but When I Got To The Part About ‘thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, I Remembered Where I Left My Bike.”
