A friend and I were joking around about getting Benny Hinn and Benny Hill confused... I joked that if they really had a Church conference based on Benny Hill, sign me up! It would be my kind of conference.
The more I think about it the more I think it would be a good idea. Most of the church takes itself way too seriously. I mean we are condemning and even suing each other. That looks really great to the outside world!
We could really use some classes on:
"How to laugh at yourself 101"
"How to deal with hecklers" (That is at least a 200 level course!)
and "Enjoying God's sense of humor" (If you don't think God has a sense of humor you need to 1. read Jesus' parables and 2. go to the zoo and really look at a platypus.)
Most of the problems in the church come about when Christians take themselves too seriously. We are all sinners bumbling through this life. (Cue the Benny Hill Soundtrack...) We need to stop, take a deep breath, and understand that we can't be right all the time, and we will NEVER be perfect. Why not try to relax and enjoy your brothers and sisters, rather than judging and condemning? You might find life a lot more fun that way!
Grace and Peace!
Even I would go to a Bennie Hill conference.
