This is a light-hearted post. Sometimes you’ve just got to laugh.
I repeat…especially for the most literal readers…this is a light-hearted post.
I watched the infamous “Soup Nazi” Seinfeld episode recently for the however many times (many) and still loved it as much as the first time. It’s no doubt created an iconic phrase… “No soup for you”.
I got to thinking.
What if there was a Church Nazi?
Nothing placed in the offering plate…
No seat for you
Cell phone rings during service…
No seat for you
Eyes open during prayer…
No seat for you
Yawning during the message…
No seat for you
Complain about the order of worship…
No seat for you
Enter the service late…
No seat for you
Laugh at an inappropriate time…
No seat for you
Leave during the invitation…
No seat for you
Sing out of tune…
No seat for you
Rattle paper unwrapping gum…
No seat for you
Thankfully there is no Church Nazi, but you get the idea.
How else would Church Nazi be offended?
(Again, this post is just for fun. None of these could really ever happen. Right?).
Checking social media during service…no seat for you
Who would do that? :)What if they Tweet the pastor? 🙂
Yawning would definitely make me lose a seat…haha! Talk to your neighbor during the service…no seat for you!…:-)
Ha! Yea. Gotta watch that with Church Nazi 🙂
That episode still makes me laugh! I remember it well.
–check fantasy team—no seat for you
–don't open the Bible during the sermon–no seat for you
Check fantasy team…no one would do that, would they? 🙂
— Small babies crying during the service. ……. No seat for you.
— Raising uncomfortable but genuine concerns during church committee meeting……. No seat for you.
— Not participating in the church outreach activities……………. No seat for you.
Ha! Good ones.
Thank you Ron for the light funny stuff. A great day to start off.Lots of blessing to you. Have a great day!
Thanks.
Good one Ron! It looks like I may not have a seat this coming Sunday but at least I never yawn during the message (at least not intentionally!). I needed a good laugh today and you gave it to me… thanks! Take care brother and keep sharing your god-given gift of writing!
Thanks Greg. Curious which one/s got you… 🙂
Well, must be honest here… late to service (but usually have good excuse, hate to leave my men's fellowship class); singing out of tune (just ask everyone around me); rattle paper (not gum, usually mints but after drinking coffee in Sunday School… it's much needed)! It's good to know that we serve such an awesomel God! A God of love, a God of justice, and a God with a sense of humor!
I love the picture of God laughing. Like I'm doing now. Thanks.Seriously hoping during my time at Immanuel we can truly embrace the fullness of God.
