    Default Responsibility

    "During a long church service in which a man went to sleep, the preacher said, "John, wake up Harry; he's gone to sleep."

    John replied, "You wake him up; you put him to sleep." One's responsibility can't be shoved off on another."

    Wonder if the Preacher looked liked this:



    I agree with his point however - I can only carry my load and not anybody elses and vice versa!!
    God Bless!

    good one!

    most people do push responsiblity off on others thats theirs.

    simple and yet so to the point!

    The beautiful thing is that when a person truly comes face to face with Jesus they no longer push the responsibility for their actions on others. They wholly own their own sin. And it is at that point that they can be born again.
