Play It Smart

Let me share some true stories about dumb people.
A man walked into a Burger King one morning in Ypsilanti, Michigan, flashed a gun and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. Frustrated, the would-be robber walked away.
A Louisiana man walked into a convenience store, put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer? $15.
One more story. Two Kentucky men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, they pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and drove home...with the chain still attached to the machine...with their bumper still attached to the chain...with their vehicle's license plate still attached to the bumper.
There is no shortage of dumb people in this world. Even more amazing is how many people reject the Word of God. The Bible says "The fool says in his heart there is no God." (Psalm 14:1)
In light of all the evidence that exists for a Creator, and even for His Son Jesus Christ, so many people refuse to bow before Him.
The Bible says the day will come when every knee will bow before Him (Philippians 2:10). To wait until it is too late is tragic and, well, just dumb.
