My Pet Peeves

Pet Peeve Story One:

Ouch! Get back. Weeeell! Ah-huh. No, these aren't the haphazard rants of famed singer, James Brown. These are, rather, the inane ad-libs of many of today's preachers. Now granted, I can understand culture and traditional influences effecting the way people do church, but shouldn't preachers be more sober minded behind the pulpit? I don't know dear reader, these are only "my" thoughts. Could you image Jesus preaching like this? Can you picture Jesus in Matthew 6 saying..."Therefore I tell you, ah-huh...do not be anxious about your life, weeell...what you will eat or what you will drink ah-huh..., nor about your body, what you will put on can I get an amen." What are your thoughts?

Pet Peeve Story Two:

Once while visiting a friend's church, I saw a girl so impacted by the message that she felt it necessary to get up and dance. After dancing, she felt it worthwhile to run around the isle. Upon getting tired, she fell to the floor and did the '80's "worm" dance move. Just kidding about the worm part. But, she was wiggling around though. In fact, she wiggled so much that her skirt was pushed upward, and a member of the church had to put a towel over her. All the while, of course, the church celebrated this fiasco. Can you imagine Jesus being happy in a service like this?
