Funny Things Preachers Have Said

I thought it might be time again to start a thread about funny things preachers have said or funny things that have happened in church.

Last Sunday at our 11 am service (I missed this because I attend the 9 am service) our Pastor told the congregation " Bill Gates wants to destroy all of Malaysia!"

When he saw many looks of confusion and the tech team at the back bent over laughing he realized what he had said when he meant to say "Bill Gates wants to destroy all of Malaria"

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Funny Things Preachers Have Said

Wow, I can' believe this thread was started several days ago and not one single post on it other than my one starting it.

Surely some of you have had funny things said or happen in church lately?

Real preachers never say funny things.

Yup. When you are preaching "under the annointing" it is that "holy breath" thing into the microphone that keeps you from messing up.

Re: Funny Things Preachers Have Said

One Sunday night in his sermon our ALJC pastor said, "The Bible says that a man is supposed to be clean shaven."

When we left after that service we never went back.
We had been a part of that church for about 15 years.

Re: Funny Things Preachers Have Said

We used to sing a song with the lyrics,
"Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith. Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith. You don't need a whole lot, just use what you got. Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith."
Well a preacher in our church would switch up the words with things like
"Fire, fire, fire, Holy Ghost fire. Fire, fire, fire, Holy Ghost fire. You don't need a whole lot..."
Well one night he started singing...
"Truth, truth, truth, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH. Truth, truth, truth, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH. YOU DON'T NEED A WHOLE LOT. JUST USE WHAT YOU GOT. TRUTH, TRUTH, TRUTH, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH"
LOL

It's really really really funny when people pick a word and say it over and over again. Really really really really funny!

At least I remember people smiling a whole whole whole whole lot when ever we sang a song like that.
