A prominent lawyer who happened to be a member of our church was
called on by the preacher to offer a prayer before the service. As
the attorney started on a special plea, he began, "Your Honor,"
instead of "Dear God." Actually, it sounded sort of appropriate.
I was trying to make a point that lack of communication is the major
cause of divorce, but somehow things got mixed up and I said
"marriage is the main cause of divorce." It took a couple of
minutes of giggling from the congregation before I realized my
mistake.
Preaching from:
Matthew 5: "A hill set on a city cannot be hid."
Matthew 12: "as Jonah was in the welly of the bail."
Matthew 2: "they offered unto him gifts, gold, and Frankenstein."
(Could I have used this for a Halloween Service?)
During a Confirmation service, referring to the new converts, the
pastor asked the 5 new "convicts" to come to the front of the church.
He never knew what he said, but several people had to leave the
building because they were laughing so hard.
As I awoke during a sermon the pastor said, "Where the Scriptures
speak, we speak. Where the scriptures are silent, we sleep."
While studying the intricate dress of the priests in the Old
Testament, the preacher came to the part that describes how the
priests put bells on the bottom of their robes. He asked, "Why do you
suppose the priests had to tinkle." After a second of silence, the
class broke up with laughter.
