THE WOMAN AND ACTS 2:38

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from a church service when she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, "Stop--Acts 2:38!" (..repent, turn from your sin..".).

The burglar stopped dead 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 doing was yell a Scripture verse to you."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an AXE and two 38’s!"
