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!

April Atheists Day

Pictured: logo of the National Atheist Party (unaffiliated)  April Fools’ Day is a well-known tradition of pranking and joking around with friends and family. But did you know that it is also a holiday for atheists? That’s right, every year on April 1st, atheists celebrate their disbelief in God and mock the religious beliefs of others. According to some historians, April Fools’ Day originated from the medieval practice of changing the calendar from the Julian to the Gregorian system, which moved the start of the new year from March 25th to January 1st. Those who refused to accept the change or were unaware of it were called “April fools” and ridiculed by others. Some atheists claim that this date has now become a symbolic representation of their rejection of the Christian faith and its calendar.  May atheists now hold that April Fools’ Day has become a day of celebration and liberation from the tyranny and oppression of religion. They argue that religion is based on superstit...

Shane & Shane’s Newest Partnership: Slayer

Bethel Music Out, “Reign in Worship” Begins In a shocking turn of events, the popular Christian worship duo Shane and Shane responded to the public backlash and have announced that they are canceling their planned collaboration with Bethel music, citing "creative differences" and "theological concerns". Instead, they have revealed that they are partnering with the legendary thrash metal band Slayer for a new album and tour. "We feel that Slayer is a better fit for our vision and message," said Shane Barnard, one half of the duo. "They are passionate, authentic, and not afraid to challenge the status quo. We share a lot of common ground with them, especially on topics like sin, judgment, and the end times." Shane Everett, the other half of the duo, added: "We have always admired Slayer's musical prowess and lyrical depth. They are masters of their craft and have influenced generations of metalheads. We are honored to join forces with them...

Presbyterians Launch "Sprinkling Correction" Baptism Program Sources

Local Presbyterian Church Launches "Re-Baptism" Program to Correct Immersion Errors ANYTOWN, USA - In a controversial move, the First Presbyterian Church of Anytown has announced a new program to "re-baptize" members of the congregation who were previously baptized by immersion at other churches. "Immersion baptism is simply unbiblical," declared Reverend Percival Fitzwilliam, the senior pastor. "The true symbol of cleansing and renewal is the gentle sprinkling of water from above, not the violent dunking associated with judgment and death." Citing biblical references to the Great Flood, where the wicked were destroyed by being submerged in water, and the Egyptians who drowned in the Red Sea, Fitzwilliam argued that immersion represents a "baptism of condemnation" rather than salvation. "In contrast, the rain that fell on Noah's ark and the Israelites as they crossed the Red Sea was a symbol of God's blessing and purificati...
