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!

Cracker Barrel Celebrates Pride with Drag Brunch and Bud Light

Cracker Barrel's Business Booms Despite Conservative Boycotts Thanks to Drag Queen Brunch and Bud Light Image source: Cracker Barrel's Official Facebook Page Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, the popular Southern-themed restaurant chain, has seen a surge in business despite facing boycotts from conservative groups for its support of Pride Month.

Pride: Remembering Sodom & Gomorrah

Sodom and Gomorrah: The Original Pride Parade Gone Wrong As the calendar turns to June, rainbow flags and glitter will soon blanket city streets worldwide to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. But before you head out to party, let's take a moment to reflect on the very first recorded Pride parade that didn't go quite as planned - the ill-fated cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. For those rusty on their biblical history, Sodom and Gomorrah were neighboring municipalities around the Dead Sea renowned for their hospitality and...other proclivities. When two angels visited the cities incognito, the residents rolled out the welcome mat in a manner that would make modern swingers blush.  Lot, a seemingly chill dude who just wanted to mind his own business, tried to protect the angels from the amorous townsfolk. But despite his pleas to "not act wickedly," the cities' citizens continued to pursue their unconventional interests with gusto befitting their reputation as the original ...

To Protect Last Political Allies from Trump, Biden Pardons Pilate, the Sanhedrin

Critics Say Presidential Clemency 2,000 Years Too Late In a shocking twist of historical revisionism, President Biden has issued a last-minute presidential pardon for Pontius Pilate and the Sanhedrin, effectively settling a 2,000-year-old legal dispute. The unprecedented move comes as Biden clears his presidential desk, seemingly determined to resolve theological legal matters that have been pending since the first century. "Sometimes, you've got to wash your hands of ancient history—literally," Biden reportedly quipped, making a clear reference to Pilate's infamous hand-washing gesture. The pardon documents hilariously cite "administrative oversight" and "bureaucratic complications" as primary reasons for the belated legal clemency. Religious scholars and historians are bewildered, with one anonymous theologian remarking, "Well, that's one way to end a presidency—by retroactively solving a crucifixion controversy." The White House pr...
