If we can’t laugh at ourselves…

“Sunday’s Coming” Movie Trailer from North Point Media on Vimeo.

Fun (and very corny) video found at Timmy Brister’s blog. Any similarity between Ronnie and members of your church community are purely coincidental.

A conversation between my 4-year old son, Liam, and his mom:

Liam: I want a baby sister so I can marry her.
Collette: You can’t marry your sister.
Liam: Then what girl will I marry?
Collette: Some great girl when you’re older.
Liam: What is her name?
Collette: I don’t know.
Liam: We’ll have to ask god what her name is.

This commercial makes me laugh every time. Thank you Old Spice. Thank you.

Watch as mega-church pastor, Ed Young, tells other pastors “U.B.U.” while not being himself–or at least I don’t think he’s a hip-hop artist…On the plus side, I forgot about his private jet scandal for a second.

At least it’s not as bad as Christian Side Hug.

As a follow-up to my recent post on Santa, I came across this in my “research”. Thanks to Eugene Cho for finding it.

Here’s what Jack Bauer thinks of Santa.

A funny list from John Mark Reynolds over at The Scriptorium Daily on 10 reasons Calvinists should be merry at Christmas time. May be I can use some of these over at Stuff Reformers Like…

In his intro to this list, Reynolds writes:

I shall have nothing else to say about the cool Calvinists since cheerful, right-minded, wholesome people are much harder to describe than the illusory Calvinists of straw I have invented out of nothing for the purposes of parody.

So don’t get up in arms. He’s not talking about us. We’re cool Calvinists, right?!

Reasons for Dour Calvinist Cheer

You should be cheerful if you are a Calvinist:

I. . . . because God may not have chosen you for the team, but He did choose Al Mohler and John Piper and both guys are smarter individuallythan John Spong and the whole Anglican communion collectively . . . at least since the death of C.S. Lewis, taken by God in the knowledge that John Piper and Al Mohler were on the horizon.

II . . . because Calvinists no longer have to ban Christmas.

III . . .because Oliver Cromwell is still dead, but the Second Coming is one day closer.

IV . . . because the Pythons had heard of the Inquisition but ignoredServetus.

V. . . because you need only memorize TULIP and not something like POINSETTIA.

VI . . . given her birthplace, there is a better than a fifty percent chance theSwiss Miss is a Calvinist.

VII . . . because you can have alcohol in your wassail and smoke cigars while reading Edwards.

VIII . . . because Wesleyan-types take the risks and make the converts, but when the converts hit middle-age Calvinists acquire them and their tithe.

IX . . . Rembrandt was Calvinist and El Greco wasn’t.

X . . . Francis Schaeffer may have worn knickers, but he never dressed like Benny Hinn.

My favorite line? “Jesus never hugged.”

Can’t wait for the follow up single, “Greet Each Other With a Holy (Side) Kiss”.

Found this little gem over at Tim Challies Blog. Pretty sure it’s a joke…at least I hope so.
