Dart Test...

THIS IS A POWERFUL MESSAGE. PLEASE READ ALL OF IT. I AM

PASSING IT ON BECAUSE I AM CERTAINLY NOT ASHAMED TO DO
SO.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is
a little different: This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny,
it's intended to get you thinking..............

Dart Test...

A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary
class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith. She says that Dr. Smithwas known
for his elaborate object lessons.
One particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were
in for a fun day.
On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr.
Smithtold the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked
or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw
darts at the person's picture.
Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend. Another
friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a
former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even
drawing pimples on the face. Sally was pleased with the overall effect
she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw
their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart.
Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when
Dr. Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to return to their
seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't
have a chance to throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smithbegan removing
the target from the wall.
Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. A hush fell over the room
as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged
marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.
Dr. Smithsaid only these words... "In as much as ye have done it unto
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me."
Matthew 25:40.
No other words were necessary; the tears filled eyes of the students
focused only on the picture of Christ.
This is an easy test; you score 100 or zero. It's your choice.

If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions.

Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you,
before My Father."

Not ashamed ... pass this on.

Ashamed ... delete it.

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come
from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. "Yes, sir, I
just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap used
bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"
"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.

> > >Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how
to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how
to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns
and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"

take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and
kill you!! You don't want those people!!"

blood."

wonder why the world's going to hell.

question what the Bible says.

not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. Or is
it scary?

follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God ).

and! they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages
regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.

through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in
the school and workplace.

Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week.

> > >Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will
not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what
they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.

think of me than what God thinks of me.
