An elderly woman had just returned to her home

from an evening worship service and was startled to find an
intruder in
her house.

Catching the man in the act of burglarizing
her home, she yelled,
“STOP! Acts 2:38!” (“Repent and be baptized,
every one of you, in the
name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may
be forgiven.”)

As the burglar stopped dead in his tracks, the
woman calmly called the
police and explained what she had done.
Shortly, several officers
arrived and took the man into
custody.

As he was placing the handcuffs on the burglar, one of the officers

asked, “Why did you just stand there? All the lady did was mention a

scripture verse.”

“Scripture?” replied the
burglar.

“She said she had an axe and two 38’s!”
