"Let's trip this fool up"
"What does that mean?"
"Let's trick him"
"Ok"
"Hey Jesus, should we pay taxes?"
"Really? I am teaching my disciples, healing people, raising the dead, and helping the needy and you are just going to ask me a stupid question like that?
(cricket, cricket cricket)
"Give me a coin. Who's image is this?"
"Caesar's"
"Great, give to "Caesar what is his and give to God what is God's"
(cricket, cricket, cricket)
"If you guys would be busy trying to bear God's image instead of Caesar's, you could do wonderful things. NOT TO MENTION, PREVENT YOURSELF FROM DAMNATION".

"Peter, go get me a fish"
"A fish?"
"You heard me, a fish. Inside of the fish's mouth will be enough money for these guys and I can get BACK to doing God's work".
While this is a dramatization, it is true; just worded a little more modern with American attitude. We are so worried about whether or not we are going to get a disease, we are forgetting those who already have it; S.I.N.
Let's get back to sharing the gospel WITH LOVE. Let's get back to giving what we have. Jesus KNEW He was going to die soon. Yet? He was out trying to save lives. Jesus knew He was going to die soon. Yet? He was out trying to teach. The odds of you dying any time soon is minuscule. Yet? You are complaining you are being sidetracked by the government. Paul was in prison and led people to the Lord. You? You are complaining you can't get toilet paper. Why do we get so caught up in the sleight of hand around us and forget what our mission is. Matthew 28:19-20, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,even unto the end of the world. Amen."
"Go" is not a suggestion. "All the world" means your neighborhood and anywhere else that people are. The world is looking for leaders right now and unfortunately our bickering over whether or not we should be "confined" is allowing them to find Godless leaders.
Stand up and reach the lost. He never said it would be easy, He just said it would be worth it. REALLY!
