An elderly
woman had just returned to her home from an evening of Church services when she was
startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its
valuables and yelled, Stop! Acts 2:38!" (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus
Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.)
The burglar stopped in his tracks.
The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just
stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."
"Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an Ax and Two
38's!"
Knowing scripture can save your life in more ways than one.
