"Guest",

Thank you for reading the post. I did not argue that Modern Family lacks humor, but the things that we laugh at, we usually end up endorsing. There are plenty of homosexual publications (most notably The Advocate) that openly flaunt the fact that the homosexual community has gotten Hollywood writers to portray homosexual characters in a positive light in comedies. One of their major points of emphasis is Modern Family and its success. It is clear that they are pushing an agenda, and one of their major ways of doing that is to get us to have the psychochemical reactions which attend laughter.

We need to be very careful what we consider to be funny, because we usually will endorse it, if we don't already. Again, thanks for reading, and I hope you will continue to do so.

Opps! Sorry! I thought this was Donna's site. I hope I was not out of place in posting my response. I usually reserve my comments to ladies' sites. I did enjoy & agreed with your article but I don't ever want to leave the impression that I am stepping outside my place. I removed it so no one gets the wrong impression.

Amen! We have allowed the world to tell us what is "politically correct" for so long (in business, politics, in our families, even sometimes in the church) that we have forgotten that what really matters is if we are "Spiritually Correct"! If GOD says something... that is the standard! No 'ifs', 'ands', or 'buts' about it. I doesn't matter who says what to the contrary. Along with Donna I would like to encourage all of us to re-evaluate our outlook on things and start using the 'old standard', the Word of GOD, to measure things ( our language, our dress, our recreation, our business choices, our child rearing, reading materials, our TV viewing, our movies, music and our attitudes, etc) to see if they "measure up" to GOD's standards or take us 'down' that long spiral away from GOD!

This cannot be overemphasized. I have often thought this when visiting the bereaved. It is not necessary to say anything. You speak by your presence. Also, it takes two to argue. So, if I am quiet, there will be no argument. Additionally, we can "see" the presence of God in many ways if we will just be quiet and still.

Sounds like you "enjoy" doing this as much as another preacher with the same last name. It is always my prayer that I am, in fact, preaching the truth --- in love. I have no doubt that you did that today --- and always.

Glad you're up and running again! Nice thoughts, never an easy thing to specifically rebuke/reproof areas that need attention.

"I imagine".......this or that when he is speaking of how a person must have felt or how a situation must have played out. I find myself saying that now, too!

i have been busted for saying, "If you're here today and...."
as opposed to the people who are not here

"I've said all of that to say this"

"By way of introduction..."

"In conclusion"

"the story is told about..." (I'm very guilty of this one)

Rob, I know of a minister who began every PARAGRAPH of his bulletin articles with "Hey!" I always wondered how he handled negative news!!!

Listening to the audio recordings, I found that I begin every sermon, EVERY sermon, with the word "Well..."

This is probably just me, but my wife brought it to my attention that I often say, "Real quick." As in, "Let's turn over to John 1:14 real quick." Ironically, it very seldom turns out to be "real quick."

Pick a major field that will lead directly to a job. We learned through my kids that many majors do not lead directly to a career. Think twice about majoring in any of the humanities. Who is going to pay you for what you know? In Alabama, there's a lawyer and a teacher behind every tree. Can you actually get a job if you become one of those? Examine the hard sciences. Anything in engineering or health care might be interesting. You can't support your family and give to good works if you don't have a paycheck. Getting a degree is not necessarily the same thing as getting paid.
