Two men were arguing at work one day about religion. Neither really knew what they were talking about. Finally one said, “Man, you don’t know anything about religion. I’ll bet you ten dollars you can’t even repeat the Lord’s Prayer.”
The other grinned. “Oh yeah? It’s a bet!”
He straightened up and began to recite:
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America … and to the republic … Amen!”
The first man looked stunned. “I didn’t think you could do it! Here’s your ten dollars.”
We laugh—but the story carries a sting. It shows how little many people today know about God’s Word. Yet the Bible is not a relic. It is living truth.
