In a small town, a man opened a brothel across from a church. The church and its congregation strongly opposed it, organizing petitions and praying daily for it to fail. Just days before opening, lightning struck the building and burned it to the ground. The owner then sued the church, claiming their prayers caused the destruction. The church denied responsibility, calling it an act of God.<\/p>\n

The congregation instinctively replied, \u201cAnd also with you,\u201d following their usual response pattern. A young girl once told her mother she felt sick during service. Sent outside to be ill, she quickly returned. When asked how she came back so fast, she replied, \u201cI didn\u2019t leave. There\u2019s a box by the door that says \u2018For the Sick.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

A 75-year-old man answered, \u201cWedding cake.\u201d READ MORE BELOW<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a small town, a man opened a brothel across from a church.
