Two longstanding church members were out in their boat fishing and they had taken a new Christian with them that day. They were discussing their faith and their devotion to God. As they were talking, one man’s hat blew into the water. So he stood up, calmly stepped onto the water, walked over to his hat and picked it up off the water and walked back to the boat. The new Christian was amazed at how this person could seemingly walk on water. As the new Christian was thinking about this, the other member’s hat blew into the water. He calmly got up and stepped into the water, walked over to his hat and picked it up and walked back to the boat. The new Christian was overwhelmed by the spirituality of these two Christians.

Then he thought to himself, “If these guys can do that, so can I” He “helped” his hat blow off and into the water. He very calmly stepped out of the boat and was inhaling water instantly.

As he fought his way to the surface, gasping for breath, the two church members looked at each other and said, “I think we should have told him about the sand bar on this side of the boat.”
