Humor and Holiness: Navigating Comedy in Gospel Preaching (01/14/'23)

Humor and Holiness: Navigating Comedy in Gospel Preaching Preaching that employs comedy to sway the hearts of congregants can deviate from the core message of the gospel. While humor might offer temporary psychological relief from life's stresses, it risks trivializing the profound teachings of Christ, potentially violating the spirit of the 3rd commandment against taking the Lord's name in vain. It's crucial for preachers to remember that the gospel of Jesus Christ is not an escape from reality, but a path to spiritual salvation and truth. -Pastor Steven G. Lee (January 14, 2024)
