A new minister, David, had just gotten into town. He was going over his Sunday sermon when the previous minister, George, stopped by to see how things were going. "Everything is going pretty well," David said, "But I'm afraid that someone has already stolen my bicycle!" George said he was sorry to hear that, and offered some advice. "What you do is, next Sunday mention the Ten Commandments in your sermon. Maybe when you get to the part about "Thou shalt not steal" someone will have a change of heart and confess."
David thought about this, and decided he would try it. Sunday came and went, and George stopped back by to check up on the new minister again. When he got to David's house, he noticed a bicycle parked outside. Feeling triumphant, he knocked on the door. When David answered, George said, "I see you took my advice and got your bicycle back!" David said, "Yes, I did, but it didn't quite work out the way you expected." "Oh?" said George. "How do you mean?" David said, "Well, I did take your advice and worked the Ten Commandments into my sermon. But when I got to the part about "Thou shalt not commit adultery" I remembered where I left it!"
