One night we had an evangelist preaching. He got up beside the pulpit, took his shoes off, jumped up on the altar rail and then started to walk the backs of the pews starting at the front and moving all the way to the back of the church, then turning around and coming back to the front - all on the backs of the pews. I'm still not sure what point he was trying to make by doing that.

That was stupid.

A pastor friend of mine was preaching a message about taking Jesus home with you, based on the story of Zacchaeus.....he came to a point in the message where he asked one of those rhetorical questions NO ONE is supposed to respond to......."As Jesus came down the road, he looked up into the sycamore tree and what do think he saw?" as he paused for emphasis sake in that moment of silence a little downs syndrome boy hollered out real loud "IT WAS A WABBIT....HE SAW A WABBIT".....needless to say; the message was pretty much over and everybody left with a lot of smiles that day.

We had a lady evangelist preaching at our church where I grew up that was notorious for getting her tongue all tied up and saying something that wasn't supposed to be said. here are a couple of them (all done within a 4 week revival.)

1. While preaching one night she said the Lord has been dealing with me on a message entitled "Why in the hell would you want to the world for." Only a few of us caught it and she managed to keep going until after service when we all had a good laugh at her expense.

2. A few nights later she was preaching about the Lord being our shield and protector against the diery farts of the wicked........several of us lost it and had to go out to keep from permanently disrupting the service.

3. She did the whole Lot pinched his ...... toward Sodom thing......and just like the video of the youth pastor that is on youtube she probably would have been fine if she had just moved right on.......but she tried to correct it three times and all three times she got it wrong........by the third time everyone was rolling and she hastened to the altar call.

Oh Lord help us! The more the stories keep coming, the more I keep walking down memory lane... many years ago a native Austrian with a strong Germanic accent, was helping out at the church we were attending.

On a Sunday evening, he was doing the announcements and getting ready to begin his message. He was announcing that food would be served in the fellowship hall after church. He meant to say, meet us after church in the fellowship hall for food, fun, and fortification. Instead of the word fortification, he said "food, fun and fornication" Oh my. You could've heard a pin drop at first, and then you could hear chuckles all over the building. He stood up there completely confused, and really thought we were just laughing at him, I think. He had no idea what he had just said! Needless to say... EVERYONE met after church to see what was going to happen with that fellowship!!!

We had a couple come to visit one night in the little country church I went to. The pastor knew she played piano and sang, so he asked if she would like to share a song and a testimony with us. She agreed and walked up to the piano. She sat down, thought about it for just a minute and promptly started to bang really loud on the piano, singing at the top of her voice, "God's Gonna Getcha For That". I had to walk out because I was laughing so hard!
