Being a Christian

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a parochial
school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large
pile of apples. A teacher made a note, and posted it on
the apple tray, “Take only one. God is watching.” Moving
further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table
was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. One of the
children wrote a note, “Take all you want. God is watching
the apples.”
Interesting picture of God, isn’t it! Sounds like the same
picture many adults have; God is watching us and every
little thing we do will come under judgment by God, so
be very careful and be very obedient! It’s amazing how often religious people use this kind of fear and guilt to motivate godly living.
