Acts 2:38

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of

Church

services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in

the

act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled,

"Stop! Acts 2:38!"

("Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins

may be forgiven.")

The burglar stopped 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 yell a scripture to you."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an Ax and Two

38's!"
