One Sabbath morning during service - a 2,000-member congregation was surprised to see two men enter, both covered from head to toe in black carrying sub-machine guns.

One of the men proclaimed, "Anyone willing to take a bullet for Christ remain where you are." Immediately, the choir fled, the deacons and most of the congregation fled. Out of the 2,000 there only remained around 20. The man who had spoken took off his hood, looked at the preacher and said, "Okay Pastor, I got rid of all the hypocrites. Now you may begin your service. Have a nice day! And the two men turned and walked out.
