WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE?
I read of a mother who went to a family therapist over her thirteen-year-old son who was rebelling in every way imaginable. Out every night until 2:00 A.M. and in trouble at school, her son was on a one-way course to self-destruction. The therapist asked if she could

Illustration:
I worked in a hog-slaughtering factory for a year when I first came to plant this church. The boss’s adult son used to walk around wearing a white hat and barking orders at everyone but none of the workers respected him the way they did his dad. They knew he was just a pretender. If

“Who’s Job is it?”
This is a story about four people
EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, and NOBODY.
There was an important job to be done and

Someone Who Understands
A farmer made a sign advertising some puppies he had for sale. As he was nailing the sign to the post in his yard, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down and saw a little boy with a big grin and something in his hand.
"Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your

WHO WROTE THE BIBLE?
There are only five beings who could have written the Bible. These beings are good men, bad men, devils, angels, or God.
It stands to reason that bad men and devils would not have written the Bible because through out its pages they are condemned for their sinfulness to

WHO’S WATCHING YOU?
Years ago, my brother and I were fishing off a pier with four other people. It was so hot that the fish (white bass) were just floating on the surface of the water and had no interest in biting any bait. Those of us on the pier all decided just to snag the fish with treble

WHO OWNS THE CHURCH?
My grandson Nate and I went to the Church New Year's day to clean up after our wonderful New Year's Eve party. On the way there he asked, "Granpa, do you own the church?"
I said, "No. I just manage it." He says, "Well, who owns it?"
I tried to tell him that the

PROOF OF WHO HE IS
This reminds me of the three lunatics in an insane asylum: The first lunatic said to the second, "Did you know that I'm Napoleon Bonaparte?"
Indignantly, the second lunatic replied, "I beg your pardon! It just so happens that I am Napoleon Bonaparte!"
The first one said, "Oh

WHO MADE ME?
I love the story of the boy sitting on his father's lap as they were looking into a mirror. The boy said to his dad, "Dad, who made me?"
He said, "God made you, son."
He said, "Dad, who made you?"
He said, "God made me, son."
He said, "Dad, who made granddad?"
He said, "God

SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS
He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
"Can I have a puppy?"
"Sure," said the farmer.
