    A Pastor’s Biggest Nightmare:  Pitching Your Tents

    I have no idea who this pastor is or where he is from (and, I'm sure that he would like to remain anonymous); but hopefully he is laughing along with everyone else.

    Here's the video link.  (Note:  It took awhile to load on my computer).

    And a word to the faint of heart.  This is not something you would normally hear from the pulpit; so please be warned.

    Have a great weekend.

    FOR DISCUSSION:  Have you ever had a 'slip of the tongue' while preaching? Care to share, or would you rather just forget?!













    Oh my goodness… I laughed until I cried.  Of course it could have been that it was late and I was in deep need of some sleep.  Have you ever said something while speaking that just didn’t come out right?  Well, so did this pastor…

      Thanks for the laugh this morning!


      I have had too many slips and phrases that stick out “gasp for breath” and “Reeses Pieces” what I will not share is what really came out.


      GOOD ONE!

      What was hard to watch was what he did to himself afterwards.  If he had ignored it and gone on, it would have stayed around a while.  The way he handled I think how he handeled it makes it even more of a distraction.

      A wise teacher told me, you acknowledge it, and go on and it gets everyone back on track quicker and you remain cool.

      I had a friend who once preached that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the ass of a colt.


      And I was leading worship a few years ago and realized that I had just sang the line, “Let angels prostate fall.”


      Actually, I thought his reaction was fine.  You’ve gotta be able to laugh at yourself.

      My dad was speaking about vietnam one time and made mention of their Rice Craps it was really funny and he did kind of the same thing just laughed and went on.  I thought he was ok, the funniest part was the look in his eyes after he said it, it was a I know I did not just say that… that was a good laugh for a sat morning thanks!!!

      Thank you!  Let’s us know that we are human. Still laughing!

      Poor Guy, I feel for him having done it myself.  Sometimes, it is best to forget the sermon and have a good laugh!

      I was preached….“if your ass fall in ditch pull it out”.  The biggest problem was looking at a few of my friends in the church that did their best not to laugh.  I on the other hand…couldn’t stop.

      I heard a Christian college chapel speaker relate the occasion when his daughter had “her ears pissed”. I have no idea what he spoke about that day.

      Anyone ever find out who this guy is and where he’s pastoring? I’d love to see some of his other work.

      Thanks for the laugh! I love it when I am minding my own business and come across something like this that makes me stop what I am doing and just laugh out loud!


      Two kinds of folks… those that tell you they laughed… and those that wish they could…. tell you that is!

      Once in the middle of a very serious sermon I said something very funny , so funny that most of the congregation really laughed out loud , all I could do was look puzzled because still to this day , I don’t know what I said that was so funny… and if you think about it ... thats funny ... the moral of the story? “Dont take yourself too seriously” ....

      That is *the* funniest blooper I’ve *ever* heard!!  My pastor hubby cracked up too!

      This blooper was by Blake Bergstrom - High School Pastor at Southeast Christian Church in Parker, CO.

      I heard a very well known pastor say “brutally married” when he meant “brutally murdered.”  He laughed a bit about Freudian slips and jokingly apologized to his wife.  Sadly, it came out not too long after that he had been an unfaithful husband over a period of years, so his wife might have felt she’d been brutally married.  It was funny and memorable at the time.
