The Parable of the AK-47
(11/9/90 - as the US prepared for the Gulf War)
There was a man, Irving Roger Smith, who was
possessed by demons. He went to the bank and borrowed
$2000. Then he went and bought an AK-47 for $1200.
He went to a shopping center and shot hundreds of rounds
into the crowd, killing, wounding and maiming unknown numbers of
people, although one was a thief and one was a murderer. He gave
the rest of the money to a food bank to help feed the poor.
Well, I know how he used the money, and he comes up to me
and says, "Brother, may I have $4000 to continue my good works?"
I hesitate, and he reminds me, "You know that Jesus said 'Give to those
that ask.'" So I give him the $4000.
