A preacher, who shall we say was “humor impaired,” attended a conference to help encourage and better equip pastors for their ministry. Among the speakers were many well known and dynamic speakers.
One such boldly approached the pulpit and, gathering the entire crowd’s attention, said, “The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman that wasn’t my wife!” The crowd was shocked! He followed up by saying, “And that woman was my mother!” – The crowd burst into laughter and delivered the rest of his talk, which went over quite well.
The next week, the pastor decided he’d give this humor thing a try, and use that joke in his sermon. As he surely approached the pulpit that sunny Sunday, he tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It suddenly seemed a bit foggy to him.
Getting to the microphone he said loudly, “The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of another woman that was not my wife!” The congregation inhaled half the air in the room. After standing there for almost 10 seconds in the stunned silence, trying to recall the second half of the joke, the pastor finally blurted out, “…and I can’t remember who she was!”
That’s Hilarious. I wish my pastor attempted to get some sort of humor. But then again I couldn’t personally take me current preacher seriously if he tried to crack a joke in his sermon.
When I was younger I had a guest pastor at my church that was conveying the moral message to not judge another person. The standard don’t judge a book by its cover convention. His story went like this.
And elderly gentlemen of many many years of age made a trip from his farm into the local town to buy supplies that were needed by his wife. While he was at the general store he noticed a man standing in a window on the wall that was staring at him and mimicked everything he did. He went to tell the gentleman it wasn’t polite but soon realized something was very off. Because every time he tried to speak the gentleman in the window began to talk so he would be polite and let him continue. This went on for a few minutes until the storekeeper came up to the gentleman and had realized what was happening. You see the gentleman had never seen his own reflection other then a distorted picture in his water pond. And hadn’t the faintest idea what a mirror was.
The gentleman finished buying his supplies and also bought the mirror and headed back to his farm. He hid the mirror in his barn because his wife wouldn’t be all to happy about the expenditure. But the gentleman thought the mirror was magnificent and he would go out to the barn every night to look at himself in this mirror and marvel at his relection. His wife soon became sucpiscious of the activity and when the gentleman was out in the field one day she went to the barn to investigate and finds the mirror and sees her reflection. Quickly she responds by shouting. “SO YOUR THE HUSSY BY HUSBAND HAS BEEN FOOLING AROUND WITH!”
Thank God for you Pastor!
