Wise word Wednesday: Who's to Blame? A preacher and atheistic barber were walking through city slums.
\nLooking at the condition of the slums, The barber said, \"This is why I can't believe in your God of love. If He was as kind as you say, He wouldn't permit all this poverty and disease. He wouldn't allow these poor street people to get addicted. No, I cannot believe in a God who permits these things.\"
\nThe minister was silent until the met a man who was especially unkempt. His hair was hanging down his neck, and he had a half-inch of stubble on his face.
\nThe preacher said to his friend: \"You can't be a good barber, or you wouldn't permit a man like this continue living here without a haircut and a shave.\"
\nIndignant, the barber answered: \"Why blame me for that man's condition? He has never come in my shop. If he had, I would've fixed him up and made him look like a gentleman!\"
\nThe preacher said, \"Then don't blame God for allowing people to continue in their evil ways. He invites them to come and be saved.\"
\nToday look around you, find areas or people of your life that you have judged and look for another perspective. Who's to Blame?
