Zealous Young Preacher
A very zealous soul-winning young preacher recently came upon a farmer working in his field. Being concerned about the farmer's soul the preacher asked the man:
- Are you laboring in the vineyard of the Lord my good man?
Not even looking at the preacher and continuing his work the farmer replied:
- Naw, these are soybeans.
- You don't understand - said the preacher.
- Are you a Christian?
With the same amount of interest as his previous answer the farmer said:
- Nope my name is Jones. You must be lookin for Jim Christian. He lives a mile south of here.
The young determined preacher tried again asking the farmer:
- Are you lost?
