ACTS 2:38
A pastor was leading an inquirer through catechetical
training and Bible study. One of the verses he
emphasized was Acts 2:38. [check it out; it's very
appropriate] "Always remember this verse," the pastor
said. "If you do, you will never go wrong. Just
remember, Acts Two Thirty-eight."
"Gotcha!" said the inquirer as he left that session.
Some time later, as he approached his car on the edge of
a mall parking lot near dark, two guys jumped him.
Immediately he shouted as loudly as he could: "ACTS TWO
THIRTY EIGHT! ACTS TWO THIRTY EIGHT!"
One of the thugs said to the other: "Hey, man! Let's
split" and started running away as fast as he could.
After a moment of puzzled hesitation the other ran after
him till he caught up with him in the nearby woods.
"What's going on, Man?" he asked.
"Didn't you hear what that dude said?" asked the
other. "He had two thirty-eights and an ax."
