The church needs to laugh and have fun more. We don’t do that enough in our fast paced, stressed out society. We go to church, sing a few songs, listen to a guy talk for awhile then head out the door to the ranch or to eat so we can get out of there before someone talks to me. Church has become boring and predictable. And I for one am not into boring.
Question is, does church have to be boring or can we have fun and enjoy going to church? Answer is: YES!!!! We should and Jesus even tells us that He came to give us life and life to the fullest.
We had a Luau the other night and I had a great time laughing and being laughed at as I tried my best to play water volleyball. (Needed to be there to understand that one). There were several of us in the pool looking and acting athletic and several watching from the deck looking pretty. What I enjoyed about that time more than anything else was looking at the faces of our people enjoying the fellowship of the other church members or believers. We were having a blast and loving the church.
One of the five purposes of the church is fellowship-LOVING GOD’S PEOPLE. The church today has developed what I call “koinonites”= the opposite of KOINONIA. We run from fellowship thinking we may catch some gosh awful illness instead of embracing it with all of it’s zits and imperfections.
Come on church. Lighten up. LAUGH A LITTLE. We take ourselves way to serious at times. Start laughing again. Learn to laugh at yourself first then start hanging out with the other crazy church people and you will see they are funnier than you. PASTORS INCLUDED.
