Fighting the cobra with your bare hands
2009 July 3
Stuff Christians Like has a “sermon illustration scorecard.” Many of them are cute, but this one is inspiring:
25. Sermon illustration contains one of the following phrases: “my only option was to fight the cobra with my bare hands,” “and that’s when I knew there were too many ninjas on that boat,” or “so that’s when I decided to buy cotton candy for the whole congregation.” = +5 points
Who will be the first pastor to post a sermon that uses one of these three lines? It is a challenge to us all. Methoblog immortality awaits.
If you think I’m making too light of something as serious as sermon writing, you are probably correct. But it is late on Friday night and the sermon is not done yet. Humor is helpful at times like these.
