Stanley looked at his watch, remembering his promise to take his teen-age son, Joey, to the rally at church. He looked at the stack of reports on his desk. With a sigh, he picked up the telephone to call Joey at home.
Late that night, when the reports were finished he thought again about the missed rally. His conscience pricked him. A Christian athlete was scheduled to speak, and would have been a great influence on the boy. But business came first.
Suddenly the telephone rang. “Sir,” a deep voice said, “this is Sergeant Brown at the police station.”
“What can I do for you, Sergeant.”
“It’s your boy,” the sergeant said. “We have him here at the station. Can you come right down?”
The Bible clearly teaches the responsibility of a man to his family. This responsibility includes the area of a relationship with God. And time is short.
Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1 (KJV)
