Who Are You (5 of 5)
Series: Life's Important Questions

Acts 19:11-20
There is an old story that I've heard, read, and told many times. It's about a fellow named Bill who was always bragging about who he knew and how he was friends with many popular and powerful people. He said to his boss one day, ''You name anyone you want to and I know them.'' His boss decided to challenge his claims. He said, ''I guess you know Tom Cruise.''

When Bill finally got back to his boss he found the paramedics working with him. ''What happened?'' asked Bill. His boss said, ''I was doing fine until you and the Pope walked out and the man next to me said, 'W ...
