Christian One-Liners

Posted on by

Our Youth Pastor found these and passed them along. Enjoy!

  1. Don’t let your worries get the best of you. Remember, Moses started out as a basket case.
  2. Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.
  3. Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers.
  4. It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
  5. The good Lord didn’t create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.
  6. When you get to your wit’s end, you’ll find God lives there.
  7. People are funny. They want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church.
  8. Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.
  9. Quit griping about your church. If it was perfect, you couldn’t belong.
  10. If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.
  11. God himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead, so why should you?
  12. Some minds are like concrete — thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
  13. Peace starts with a smile.
  14. I don’t know why some people change churches. What difference does it make which one you stay home from?
  15. A lot of church members who are singing “Standing On The Promises” are just sitting on the premises.
  16. We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.
  17. Be ye fishers of men. You catch them. He’ll clean them.
  18. Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.
  19. Don’t put a question mark where God put a period.
  20. Don’t wait for 6 strong men to take you to church.
  21. Forbidden fruits create many jams.
  22. God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.
  23. God grades on the cross, not the curve.
  24. God loves everyone, but probably prefers “fruits of the spirit” over “religious nuts!”
  25. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
  26. He who angers you controls you.
  27. If God is your copilot, swap seats.
  28. Prayer: don’t give God instructions, just report for duty!
  29. The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.
  30. The will of God will never take you to where the grace of God will not protect you.
  31. We don’t change the message. The message changes us.
  32. You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.
  33. The best mathematical equation I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.

Praise Team Penalties

Posted on by

In honor of football season, I thought it would be fun to see what penalties can be thrown at the praise team!

  1. False Start: when the worship leader skips the lead break & jumps back into the chorus.
  2. Roughing the Pastor: when the praise team takes too much time leaving the sermon rushed or going past 12:00.
  3. Illegal Use of the Budget: when the praise team buys a killer sound and light system with a smoke machine and pyrotechnics.
  4. Penalty Challenge Flags: when deacons throw the penalty flag to challenge the key the praise team sings the newest Tomlin tune.
  5. Delay of Benediction: when the praise team repeats the final song’s chorus until it is memorized by the congregation.
  6. Encroachment: when the praise team knows the message is 25 minutes long and they don’t start the sermon video until 11:40.
  7. Face Masking: when the praise team makes the congregation sing songs of personal reflection & commitment, thus challenging people to remove the masks they often wear to church.
  8. Holding: when the praise team tells people to hold hands for prayer, or while singing a “community building” song (like “bless be the tie that binds” or “we are one in the bond of love”). Man-up the church!
  9. Illegal Contact: when the praise team takes that command to “greet one another with a holy kiss” too far.
  10. Illegal Formation: when the praise team sets up with three guitars, a bass guitar, two drummers, a keyboard and four vocalists.
  11. Illegal Motion: when the praise team gets people worked up swaying to the music, closing their eyes and raising their hands, so that the deacons have to step in.
  12. Neutral Zone Infraction: when the praise team allows the front row to form a mosh pit.
  13. Offside: when the praise team sets up the stage with a total lack of symmetry. Alternate penalty: when the praise team is so loud on the final song that someone responding to the invitation must be taken off to the side to talk or pray.
  14. Intentional Grounding: when the praise team makes people sit down during the offering time music.

What other penalties will you add to this list? Comment below. These are specific in context to The Well at King’s Grant Baptist.
