A priest was delivering a sermon entitled “Stand Still and let the good Lord Fight your battles”, on the topic of not fighting but letting God vanquish evil himself. As he was delivering the sermon, a gust of wind lifted his garment and the congregation noticed he was carrying a gun.
After the service a congregant asked him, “I understood your sermon, but aren’t you contradicting yourself by carrying a gun? You did say you are supposed to let the Lord fight your battles for you?”
“I did say that, yes,” said the priest. “The gun is just to hold them off until the Lord gets here”.
