Slain for Lying to the Holy Spirit
by: Dr. Luke
News Flash... A couple died in church today. Witnesses say that the husband came in and was questioned by church authorities concerning his most recent contribution. Apparently there is some discrepancy in the story. Once this was exposed the man fell down and died instantly. Cause of death yet to be determined.
Some suspect that the Spirit of God smote him for lying.
About 3 hours later the man's wife comes in. She too is questioned concerning the recent contribution. Apparently, not knowing what had happened to her husband, she corroborated his lie. At that point one of the church leaders, Peter, informed her of her husband's death and then she fell down dead also.
Some of the younger men in the congregation performed the funeral services.
The result of this incident has caused great fear everywhere.
