If you have two of something then one of those things does not belong to you.

An itinerate preacher was visiting the country. He saw farmer tending his field. He approached the old man and asked, “Sir, do you know Jesus Christ? Are you saved?” The old man stopped his work and leaned against his plow. He thought for a moment. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and pencil. After scribbling on it he handed it to the preacher. The preacher took a look and saw that the old man had listed three names and three addresses. The old man smiled and said, “I could tell you but go ask my neighbors.”

 

Being a Christian is not simply the knowledge of God or the ability to recite theology but it must be evident in our lives. If someone asked your neighbors if you were a Christian, what would they say?
