'So I'll say it clearly: the pursuit of bigness in the church is morally, theologically, and emotionally damaging.' - Karl Vaters

'Jesus didn’t isolate himself like many spiritual teachers of his time. He dove into the mess of humanity, touching diseased skin and disfigured limbs.
Even when he taught, he often did so with people literally pressing against him.' Drew

Your periodic reminder that I write a church humor newsletter. A little reader feedback to whet your appetite:

'Silly and self-serving.'

'You crossed the line this week.'

'I don't know if you were trying to be funny but ...'

'Liked it better when it was just cartoons.'…

Lookin’ good, Lee Strobel!

“Free speech is never about protecting speech you agree with. It’s always about protecting speech you hate.”

“Spring”

“Jesus?”

“Hello.”

It’s like a bot came to life and started taking over church signs.

We need more scuba divers!
