Humor in the Bible – Mark 1:35-38

| August 19, 2021

I see both intentional and unintentional humor in the Bible where others don’t. I’ll let you decide: PROBLEM – Jesus went a little bit away. His disciples find him. They tell.him everyone one is looking for him. SOLUTION – Jesus says, “Let’s all.go even further away!” (The last answer they expected) TEXT – “Very early […]

I believe in global warming – “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10).

When preaching the milk of the word, preach whole milk and not skim. Skim milk is skimming the surface, and skim milk is blue, and no one wants to drink blue skim.

What Should We Call Sermons?

| February 19, 2020

Religious places are now offering “lectures” instead of sermons for special occasions. Plus, I’m guessing “Don’t get preachy” is a common feeling associated with “sermons”. But…I can’t ever remember liking have to sit down and listen to my parents “lecturing” me either! Can’t call these sessions “talks” either because who wants to hear, “We need […]

1 Timothy 5:14 – House Despot?

| October 24, 2018

Husbands are the head of the home. Wives are the head of the house. Paul wrote women are to “keep house” (NASB) which is not a good rendering. “Manage their households” (HCSB) much better. The actual word Paul used was oikodespotéō. Broken down, the first part, oiko, means house. Now look at the second part […]

From a church family – “During bible study today, we came across this verse, Luke 20:32, “Finally, the woman died too.” Shaila immediately announced that she wants that verse on her tombstone.”

If Abbot and Costello asked Noah about his sons’ names:

| May 25, 2016

If Abbot and Costello asked Noah about his sons’ names: A&C – What’s the name of your first son? Noah – Name. A&C – Yes, name? Noah – Yes, Name. A&C – What’s his name! Noah – Name. A&C – If you’re not going to tell us, what’s the name of your second son? Noah […]

Humor: Why I Hate the 2015 Starbucks Christmas Cup

| November 11, 2015

Reasons I Hate the 2015 Starbucks Christmas Cup: 1) It came out and its not even Thanksgiving yet; 2) Someone got paid big bucks for plagiarizing a red Solo cup, and I wasn’t that someone; 3) It looks just like my Christmas stocking so now I doubt the sincerity of my stocking; 4) Everyone knows […]

1 Samuel 17:4 – Was Goliath Really 10 feet Tall?

| October 24, 2015

Skeptics doubt the existence of Goliath as told in the Bible – 10 foot tall. The explanation of how he could have really existed is rather simple. Goliath lived around 1000 B.C. Coffee wasn’t discovered until the 10th century A.D. Some say coffee stunts your growth. Now we know how their could be giants in […]
