If You're Reading This, You're Probably Not at Church. Go to Church.

No, Really. Go To Church.

Are you reading this article right now? If so, I have a question for you. Why are you not at church, worshipping the Lord and listening to His word? Or maybe you are at church, but you're sneaking a peek at your phone during the sermon or the hymns. In that case, I have another question for you. Why are you not paying attention to the service or engaging in fellowship, instead of reading satire? Read my page when you get home.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that reading this article is bad or sinful. In fact, I'm glad that you enjoy my page and find it amusing and maybe even edifying sometimes. I'm also not saying that satire is evil or unchristian. In fact, satire has a long and honorable tradition in the history of Christianity. Did you know that some of the greatest reformers of the church, such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and others, used satire to expose the errors and abuses of their time? Satire can be a powerful and effective tool to communicate truth and challenge falsehood.

But there is a time and a place for everything. And the time and place for reading satire is not when you're supposed to be in church, paying attention. Church is where you can grow in your faith, find encouragement and support, and experience God's presence and power. Church is where you can learn God's truth, receive His grace, and obey His commands. Church is where you can worship God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. No, the church is not a building, but that’s where the church gathers, and we are called to gather together. Yes, you may have a “relationship” with the Creator, and maybe you don’t like “religion,” but stop treating it like “friends with benefits” and go actually spend some quality time together. At church. Notice a trend here?

So please, go to church. And if you are at church, then be at church. Put down your phone and focus on what's happening in front of you. Great someone new or catch up with an old acquaintance. Pay attention to the sermon. Read my page when you get home.

But don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to my page before you go. And leave a comment below telling me how much you enjoyed this article and how it changed your life for the better.

God bless you. See you next time!

Pastor Jane's Inappropriate Relationships Spark Cheers of 'Yaaaaasss Queen' Amidst Ecclesiastical Double Standards

Breaking the Stained-Glass Ceiling: Pastor Jane's Scandalous Path to Feminist Icon Status In a groundbreaking moment for ecclesiastical equality, Pastor Jane Doe has become a beacon of feminist empowerment after being caught in a series of inappropriate relationships with male congregants. Her actions have sparked a wave of support, with many hailing her as a "Yaaaaasss Queen" for shattering the stained-glass ceiling. While male pastors have historically faced defrocking for similar indiscretions, Pastor Jane's case has been celebrated as a triumph of modern feminism. "Why should men have all the fun?" quipped one supporter, highlighting the double standards that have long plagued religious institutions. Critics, however, point to biblical texts that traditionally restrict the role of pastor to men and suggest women should remain silent in church. Yet, Pastor Jane's followers argue that these interpretations are outdated and patriarchal. "If she can...

Once Judeo-Christian Nation Watches Debate To Determine Which Immoral Reprobate Best Qualified to Lead

Nation’s Moral Compass Goes Haywire, Formally Resigns Following Debate Philadelphia - In a spectacle that could only be described as a divine comedy, the nation once hailed as a "Judeo-Christian" nation gathered to watch the presidential debate, eager to determine which immoral reprobate would best lead them forward. The candidates, both seasoned in the art of moral ambiguity, took the stage with the confidence of televangelists at a Sunday sermon. As the candidates took the stage, the audience was treated to a spectacle reminiscent of a reality show, complete with mudslinging and moral gymnastics that would make even the most seasoned circus performer blush. One candidate, known for his "alternative facts," argued passionately that he had the best rallies in the history of political rallies, while another claimed to be “unburdened by the past” [but still current] administration’s numerous international scandals and blunders, promising that to fix everything she h...

In an unprecedented twist of events, a pastor, whose name has been completely erased from the annals of social media and literature, finds himself at the center of a scandal no one can quite remember. Reports suggest that this enigmatic figure was "canceled" for alleged infidelity, but the details remain as elusive as his identity.
