Funny Isn't It?
Funny and serious too...
   
Funny how a $100 "looks" so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall. 
  
Funny how long it takes to serve God for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball. 
  
Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church are, but how short they are when watching a movie. 
  
Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend. 
  
Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time. 
  
Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in the Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel. 
  
Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back seat at church services. 
  
Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a church event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule at the last moment for other events. 
  
Funny how hard it is for people to learn a simple gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip. 
 
Funny how we believe what the newspaper says, but question what the Bible says. 
  
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, or think, or say, or do anything. 
  
Funny how you can send a thousand "jokes" through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. 
  
FUNNY, ISN'T IT?

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt.
Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"
"It depends," I replied.  "What does it say on your shirt?"
He yelled back, "University of Auburn."
We were teaching our 4 year old to say the Lord’s prayer.
We would say a line and then prompt him to repeat it.
He did pretty well to keep up until we got to
“Lead us not into temptation.”
We are not sure whether he had not fully mastered the language or
Whether he had not heard us properly but he responded:
“Lead us not into Playstation.”
How true.

Pastor Mark Welke, Temora Lutheran Community Church

 



A four year old was at the pediatrician for a check up. As the doctor looked down her ears with an otoscope, he asked, "Do you think I'll find Big Bird in here?"

The little girl stayed silent.

Next, the doctor took a tongue depressor and looked down her throat. He asked, "Do you think I'll find the Cookie Monster down there?"

Again, the little girl was silent.

Then the doctor put a stethoscope to her chest. As he listened to her heart beat, he asked, "Do you think I'll hear Barney in there?"

"Oh, no!" the little girl replied. "Jesus is in my heart. Barney's on my underpants."

When my daughter was about three I took her to bed and asked what she would like to pray about.  Promptly she answered: "onions."  We prayed about onions and the next morning I asked why she wanted to pray about onions.  "Because you said in your sermon that we should pray for things we dont like."

Church Funnies
Little bits and pieces from church life...
 
1. Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to get into their pews or their favorite church parking spot. 
  
2. Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers. 
  
3. It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one. 
  
4. The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but the fly and mosquito come close. 
  
5. When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there. 
  
6. People are funny. They want the front of the bus, middle of the road, and the back of the church. 
  
7. Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your door for years. 
  
8. Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn't belong. 
  
9. The phrase that is guaranteed to wake up an audience: "And in conclusion." 
  
10. If the church wants a better preacher, it only needs to pray for the one it has. 
  
11. Not only are the sins of the fathers visited upon the children, but nowadays the sins of the children are visited upon the fathers. 
  
12. Jesus does not propose to judge a man till he is dead. So why should you? 
  
13. To make a long story short, don't tell it. 
  
14. If your left hand doesn't know what your right one is doing, you should consider running for a job in Washington. 
  
15. Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set. 
  
16. Peace starts with a smile. 
  
17. I don't know why some people change churches. What difference does it make which one you stay home from? 
  
18. A lot of church members are singing "Standing on the Promises" while they are just sitting on the premises. 
  
19. We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers. 
  
20. Outside of traffic, there is nothing that holds this country back as much as committees.
