Sunday funnies
May 18, 2025
One Sunday morning, an old man wearing patched overalls, a faded shirt, and a frayed jacket entered a church as the service was about to begin. The church was in an affluent part of town, and everyone in the congregation was very expensively dressed. None of them greeted or welcomed the visitor.
After the service was over, the minister approached the old man and said, “Before you come back here again, you should have a talk with God and ask him what he thinks is the proper attire to wear to church.”
The old man assured the minister that he would. The following Sunday, he showed up again, dressed exactly as he had been the Sunday before. The minister took him aside and said, “I thought I asked you to speak to God before you came back here.”
“I did,” said the old man. “He told me he didn’t have a clue what I should wear. He said he’d never been inside here.”
Great one. Funny
My mom is visiting. The traditional churches are shrinking, and the ones growing focus more on swimming pools and recreation. Church does mean community, and we’ve been looking for a church for 3 years in our new area. No one seems to have theology and community.
Because they do it for money. The root of all evil.
Our church does indeed teach God’s word.
Sadly, it’s hard to attract young families as they seem to want the entertainment but not hear truth from God’s word.
Our church is ageing…
We struggle to pay the bills, at this point…
Beautifully subtle vignette, it will be circulated forthwith.
