How To Get To Heaven
The teacher asked the children in her Sunday School class, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into heaven?"
"NO!" the children all answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, & kept everything neat & tidy, would that?
Again, the answer was "NO!"
"Well," she continued, "then how can I get to heaven?"

Barrels of Water
The Sunday school teacher was explaining the story of Elijah & the false prophets of Baal. She explained how Elijah built the altar, put wood upon it, cut the steer in pieces and laid it upon the altar. And then Elijah commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour it over the altar. He had them do this four times.
"Now,” said the teacher, "can anyone in the class tell me why the Lord would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the altar?"
