Part Time Faith?Dr. J. Mike MinnixEditorPastorLifeJames W. Moore says, "One of the greatest comedy acts in the history of show business was the beloved husband and wife team of George Burns and Gracie Allen. In real life, Gracie Allen was a bright, wise businesswoman, but she always played the part of a naive, off-the-wall personality, sweetly simple in her approach to life."On one of their radio programs, Gracie became very upset because her new electric clock kept losing time. Each day it lost lots of time, so she finally called a repairman. He discovered the problem immediately. There was nothing wrong with the clock--it just wasn't plugged in!"Gracie Allen said, 'I know that! I didn't want to waste electricity, so I only plug it in when I want to know what time it is!'"Some people treat God that way. They turn to Him only when they need Him. But, people who do that often find their "timing" is wrong. God is not a glorified Santa Claus or a heavenly Tooth Fairy. He is GOD - and those who serve Him should do so in Spirit and Truth!
