Do Police Officers Read The Bible? Upon being stopped by a traffic officer on a fictitious driving violation, a Pastor sensing trouble, even when he knew he had committed no offence, yelled back: “I am a pastor not a thief” The officer replied: “Please, leave that pastor thing. In any case, if you are indeed a pastor, then you must have a Bible in your car. Bring it.” The Pastor speedily brought out his Bible to prove his honesty. “Please read Matthew 5:25-26 to me.” Said the police man. Incredulously, Pastor opened to the recommended passage and read: “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to a judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. I tell you the truth; you will not get out until you have paid the last penny” The perplexed man of God “QUIETLY” made an “offering” of some shillings to his newly found “preacher”. The Officer collected his “Gonyo”(bribe) and said to the pastor, “End of service go in peace and argue no more.” Wisdom to detect when share prices hit rock bottom.
When interest on bonds keep going up, you know the bear run is on high street. When interest on bonds start leveling, the bear has met the bull and they have hit rock bottom. When the interest rates on bonds start coming down, the bull has overpowered the bear and you better be riding the bull.

Funny cop.
People are free to interpret the bible how they please.
1. Some use it to get riches and mercedes'es
2. Others use it to prove God does not exist
3. Others use it to condemn Iran and Hamas even Obama & democrats
4. Others use it to seek eternal life
5. Others use it to enslave others
6. Etc

 hiyo ni noma does this mean that what we percieve as a bribe could as well be 'settling matters quickly'..hiiiyaaa
Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

Just had to confirm this. In an online bible. Let me check on a real bible. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

1. One's opponent in a contest conflict or dispute.
2. The Devil.
Adversary may refer to: In Judeo-Christian religion: Satan, whose name means "adversary" in Hebrew (wikipedia)

The thought is as good as the action. You have heard the commandment that says, "You must not commit adultery". But I say anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So, if your eye causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than to for your whole body to be thrown into eternal fire. Matt 5: 27 - 29 or Mark 9:47-48 Wisdom to detect when share prices hit rock bottom.

It is the Good News of the Lord. If you do not take heed, I wonder what Christianity is all about. Is it not clearly written, "But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery". Simple, clear, and straight to the point. Wisdom to detect when share prices hit rock bottom.

When Mutunga failed to swear by the bible or Koran, he was taken to court. I wonder why the Judicially would demand you vow by the bible while the same bible says, "But I say, do not make any vows! ....Just say a simple, 'yes, I will', or 'No, I won't.' Anything beyond this is from the evil one". Matt 5: 33-37 Wisdom to detect when share prices hit rock bottom.

Matt 5: 27 - 29 or Mark 9:47-48 so, @ sure, if you were the pastor what would you have done assuming that you were going to deliver a summon to your cogregation?? ...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

@Sure,
You should have acknowledged the source. This appeared some few weeks ago on the 'Letter from London' Sunday Nation

I acknowledge that source if it was the genuine one now that you have directed me accordingly. I don't have someone to send me letters from London but from Londokwe, yes, once in a while from a guy who has his eye on me. He does not know God is watching.

Matt 5: 33-37 ~ I've always pondered on the same. It's like swearing to defend the constitution in an unconstitutional manner! All you can do is all you can do; but all you can do is enough!

Some kenyan police actually practice this.Infact late last year a cop in buru practically handed me the bible at the station on arrest for a traffic offence.After telling me to read the verse he actually booked me. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
