WILL YOU PASS THE TEST?
A preacher preached a sermon on honesty one Sunday. On Monday morning he took the bus to get to his office. He paid the fare, and the bus driver gave him back too much change. During the rest of the drive, the preacher was rationalizing how God had provided him with some extra money he could use. But he just could not live with himself, and before he got off the bus he said to the driver “You have made a mistake. You’ve given me too much change.” And he proceeded to give him back the extra money. The driver smiled and said, “There was no mistake. I was visiting your church yesterday and heard you preach on honesty. So I decided to put you to a test this morning.” The preacher smiled back as the bus driver said “see you at church services next week preacher.”
Wow what a simple test, but what an outcome this test had, you can just imagine the thought of the driver if the preacher would not have passed the test! Paul gave the church in Corinth a test after he had written them in his epistle of first Corinthians to see if they had taken to heart his words and commandments of God that had been given to them. He said these words to them in 2 Corinthians “For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things” (2 Corinthians 2:9). Wow what a test. But notice Paul expected them to be obedient in all things. Then at the end of his second epistle he tells them to put themselves to the test. “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? –unless indeed you are disqualified” (2 Corinthians 13:5). We need to ask ourselves the question, are we passing the test?

Update:
Kennetha Marburyrecently had back surgery. While she enjoys friendly greeting at other times, she is still having pain from the surgery. So handshakes or waves would be better for her right now.
Tammy Elliott's mother, Dolly Mobley, is home and making a good recovery after her surgery.
