A dear old lady arrived home from church one Sunday morning all fired up from the sermon she had heard from the minister based on Acts chapter 2 which tells of the events of Pentecost and Peter's following sermon to the assembled crowd.

She walked in the front door to find that she was in the midst of being burgled and there was the burglar staring at her in the lounge room.

Filled with courage from the morning's message she bellowed out ....."Acts 2:38!!!" (Repent and be baptised...etc. etc. )

The burglar immediately froze in fear and still didn't make a single move as she rang the police. The officer who was handcuffing him asked the burglar," Why didn't you run? All she did was quote the Bible at you."

"You've gotta be jokin'!" he replied. "She told me she had an axe and two 38's".
