What triggers your funny bone? (besides a good bump from the kitchen counter)
I was challenged by this bit from A.W. Tozer:
Humor is one thing, but frivolity is quite another. . . .We have all met those people who will not be serious. They meet everything with a laugh and a funny remark. This is bad enough in the world, but positively intolerable among Christians.
Let us not allow a perverted sense of humor to ruin us. Some things are funny, and we may well laugh sometimes. But sin isn't funny; death isn't funny. There is nothing funny about a world tottering upon the brink of destruction; nothing funny about war and the sight of boys dying in blood upon the field of battle; nothing funny about the millions who perish each year without ever having heard the gospel of love.
"However jolly we Christians may become, the devil is not fooling. He is cold-faced and serious, and we shall find at last that he was playing for keeps."
You can tell a lot about a man by what he laughs at. Let's check our funny bones and make sure that we're laughing at things that are really funny.
And then, by all means, laugh loud, long, and hard. Laugh best.
