Religious Humor

The United Brethren church in Parsons, Kansas was having a program, and one of the women was supposed to say, "The ass stuck his head out the window and brayed." The woman didn't want to say "ass" in church and asked if she could change the word to "donkey." The other members insisted that she call it an ass, because that's what it was called in the Bible. One person reminded her of the story about Jesus riding an ass into Jerusalem. The woman worried about her line right up until the fateful day of the program. When her turn came, she stood up in front of the congregation and said, "The donkey stuck his ass out the window and brayed."

Church feuds are not uncommon, especially among cliques in the congregation. But when the music director and the pastor get into it, stand back. One week the pastor preached on commitment and how we should dedicate ourselves to service. The choir selected “I Shall Not
Be Moved” as the final hymn. Next week the pastor preached on giving and how we should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The choir selected “Jesus Paid It All “ as the final hymn. Next week the pastor preached on gossiping and how we should watch our tongues. The choir
selected “I Love To Tell The Story” as the final hymn. Next week the pastor, being disgusted over the situation, told the congregation that he was considering resignation. The choir selected “Why Not Tonight “ as the final hymn. Then the pastor resigned the next week and told the congregation that Jesus had led him there and Jesus was now leading him away. For the final hymn, the choir selected “What A Friend We Have In Jesus."

A pastor was invited by a member of his congregation to their farm home for dinner. They had just finished an excellent meal of chicken and dumplings when the pastor noticed a rooster
strutting through the yard. “That’s certainly a proud-looking rooster,” the pastor commented.

“Yes, sir,” replied the farmer. “He has reason to be proud. One
of his sons just entered the ministry!”


A Sunday School teacher was trying to explain about saying grace before meals. One of the pupils was the young son of the minister of that church, so she started the discussion by
asking him, “Jerry, what does your father say when the family sits down to dinner?”

Jerry answered, “Dad says, ‘Go easy on the butter, kids, it’s three dollars a pound!’”
