A Christian once visited a farmer to talk to him about Christ.
“I wouldn’t come to church up there,” the farmer said. “I know old so and so church goer who claims to be a Christian, and so and so who attends church there who claims to be a Christian and they don’t live any differently from me. I’m as good as they are.”
Everywhere the farmer went he told about the hypocrites in that church. Months passed and the Christian brother went to see the farmer again.
“I want to buy a hog”, said the Christian. The farmer showed all his best hogs to him. Then they came to the runt. “I believe I will take that one” the Christian said.
“But you don’t want that one. He’s the worst runt of the litter,” the farmer said.
“I sure do,” said the Christian. So they loaded the runt in the truck.
“Now,” said the Christian, “what if I take this pig here from your farm and ride all over this area telling folks that this is the kind of hogs you raise?”
“That’s not fair!” the farmer exclaimed. “I have some nice hogs and you want to show people that runt?!”
To which the Christian replied, “If it’s fair for the church, it’s fair for the hogs!”
