The Sin Of Lying

A minister told his congregation, “Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying.

To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17.”

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands.

He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17

Every hand went up.

The minister smiled and said, “Mark has only sixteen chapters.

I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying.”
