There was an old tramp who had tried to join a church, but every time he went to the door he was told, "Sorry, you need to have a bath before you can come in here." After another fruitless attempt, the old tramp dragged himself to the park bench, he called home and started to pray. But the prayers he wanted to offer would not come, for his voice was chocked by tears. Suddenly, as the story goes, God spoke to the old tramp. "Dont cry my son your not the only one, I've been trying to get into that church Myself for the last thirty years!"
(MATTHEW 7; 21-23)
"Not everyone who calls me Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only those who do what my Father in heaven wants them to do. When Judgement Day comes, many will say to me, Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles! Then "I will say to them, I never knew you. Get away from me you wicked people!"
