| laughter medicine scripture: Holy Laughter! Dean Burkey, 2011-04-14 Comedian-Written & Pastor-Approved! With the Divine Comedy in Scripture, such as Elijah's sarcastic insults to the prophets of Baal and the slapstick absurdity of David faking insanity, as well as The Dean James Version's comedic commentary, readers should enjoy laughter of biblical proportions. And not just any kind of laughter. Holy Laughter! Finding humor in every book of the Bible, this book answers such intriguing questions as: * Which book of the Bible is like a textbook on how to write a great comedy? * What's so funny about a handkerchief? And more importantly: * What makes a great gift for birthdays, confirmation, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, anytime? Also includes lots of funny headings and one-liners, an insightful inspection of the Resurrection of Christ: For Sale: One Tomb, Slightly Used, The Ultimate Movie Trailer!, clever character sketches of Simon Peter, Pontius Pilate, and more! Play The Crosscheck Cookie Game! Whenever you find a wordplay with the word cross in Holy Laughter!: Eat a cookie. ... Or to be more fun: Eat a hot cross bun. ... Or to be healthy, eat a carrot. For example: How did Mary make the Messiah's sash? ... She cross-stitched. Christian books are cross-referenced. More Excerpts Although many have tried, Moses is the only man in history to break all Ten Commandments at the same time. And what about Delilah? In Judges 16:1-22, Delilah pesters Samson for the secret of his strength. As soon as Samson tells her something, she tries it to no avail. Thus, she's trying to use whatever he says to destroy him. In verse 15 (NKJV), she has the gall to say: How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times and have not told me where your great strength lies. Crazy thing is, he finally tells her! Who would've thought a haircut could be a hero's Kryptonite? Goliath put the G in Giant! Which scared everyone except David. What Saul and the others failed to comprehend, is that David didn't let circumstances determine his demeanor. With his strong faith in God, David wasn't about to let a little thing like a giant ruin his day. Killing Goliath with a stone made David a rock star. Get right with God; or be left with Satan. Poor Peter, situations twist around so quickly for him. He steps out of the boat to walk on water, but noticing the boisterous waves, he begins to sink. He declares Jesus is the Son of God, but seconds later, says he won't let Him be crucified, earning the harshest of admonitions: Get behind me, Satan! And when he warms himself at a fire, a servant girl identifies him as a disciple of Jesus. A fact Peter denies three times with increasing intensity, even though he previously promised Jesus he'd die with Him. And yet, hearing Jesus is no longer in the grave, he races to the tomb. Not as fast as John, but as fast as he can go. In the NKJV, Paul uses his famous phrase not to mention, which he also uses in 2 Corinthians 9:4. His wry way of slipping in some humor to make his point. Where upon Paul reminds Philemon he owes Paul for the everlasting security of his eternal soul! The I Saved Your Soul Card! Paul plays a mighty hand indeed. Why do people pray for me to have patience, instead of praying for God to give me what I want right now?! Share the Joy of the Lord! To make sure that this book does more than just entertain, the Parting Thoughts section explains the Gospel message. We're called to be born again; not bored again. Blessings & Joy, The Dean James Version P.S. Before you buy this book, check out Holy Ketchup Seed Comedy Combo. |

| laughter medicine scripture: God at the Improv Anthony J. Petrotta, 2020-12-17 Asking if there is humor in any religious text might seem blasphemous to many readers. Religious texts are there to instruct us, not entertain us. Religious texts are serious works, not frivolous. However, if part of being human entails having a sense of humor, then it would be more surprising indeed for Scripture not to have humor. Humor instructs us as much as it entertains us. God at the Improv seeks to show that being religious and being humorous are not opposites, but actually work in tandem to enhance and enliven our faith and practice. |

As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect. |

Jesus didn't die on the cross for us to just co-exist on earth with everyone else, until we die, held hostage by our circumstances. He died so that we would experience and truly enjoy life in Him.

It's time to be proactive and become acquainted with the tools that God has already given us through His Word and Holy Spirit, so that we can break free of the things we allow to hinder our walk with Him, and our enjoyment of life. 20 Ways To Enjoy Life More As A Christian teaches biblical, yet practical changes you can start making in order to see significant improvements in your life, and begin to actually enjoy it the way God intended.

| laughter medicine scripture: Unsinkable Faith Tracie Miles, 2017-04-01 For many people, remaining optimistic and feeling positive about themselves and their lives is a constant battle—especially when circumstances are difficult and life is hard. For others, negativity is something that only sneaks up from time to time, yet still wreaks havoc in their hearts. Regardless of the root causes, once pessimistic thoughts permeate our minds, our feelings and emotions begin to control us instead of us controlling them. Eventually it doesn’t seem possible to stay positive, happy, and full of joy, and negative thought patterns shake our faith, causing us to sink emotionally, mentally, and spiritually over time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Despite what storms roll in, hearts anchored in God don’t sink. When we change the way we think, we can change the way we feel and live, even if our circumstances remain the same. Intentionally embracing the opportunity to experience a transformed heart and a renewed mind opens the door for a changed life, because a positive mind will always lead to a more positive life. In Unsinkable Faith, author and Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker Tracie Miles offers hope for women who struggle with negativity. Each chapter explores Tracie’s and other women’s personal stories, showing how they rose above their circumstances by transforming and renewing their minds. Unsinkable Faith is a breath of fresh air for anyone longing for a heart full of joy, an unbreakable smile, and a new, more optimistic perspective on life. This book will equip you to: Replace pessimism with positive thinking by becoming the captain of your thoughts; Learn how true joy and happiness are based on choice, not circumstances; Overcome unhealthy habits of negative thinking by intentionally implementing three easy mind-renewing steps; Stop feeling hopeless and pitiful, and start feeling hope-filled and powerful instead; and Discover that when you change the way you think, you change the way feel, and in turn you can change your life completely. |

| laughter medicine scripture: Reflecting Him Carla McDougal, 2011-08 Reflecting Him: Living for Jesus and Loving It Do you see Jesus in your daily life, or save Him for emergencies? God longs for you to spend your day with Him. The more you ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, the more you recognize God''s hand on your life. As a result, you become His reflection. In ten weeks, through Reflecting Him, you will: · Realize life is not about me, but all about Him. · See daily applications for lessons learned from scripture. · Understand how God is directing your life - often without you knowing it. · Learn the importance of prayer in your everyday activities. · Discover the joyful intimacy of a life filled with Jesus. · Realize how your personal relationship with Jesus changes when you make Him part of everything you do. Carla McDougal''s study comes in small enough bites to digest, but deep enough content to stimulate change and growth. Like Jesus'' parables which teach important lessons by creating visual pictures, Reflecting Him uses familiar objects and situations to draw comparisons between your physical and spiritual lives. Samples of questions asked throughout the weeks of study: · How does the pottery process resemble your spiritual life? · How can God use our five senses to teach us about Jesus? · What spiritual truths can we gain from studying the sun-earth connection? · What can God teach us about prayer as we walk through each room of the house? · How can pumping gas into a car remind us of faith? · Is working in your garden or flowerbed enjoyable? You will love this powerful analogy! · How can road construction teach you to live daily for Jesus? · Exercise is essential for our physical bodies. Why is spiritual exercise vital for a believer? Each week is divided into five days (lessons), supporting the central theme for the week.

Intermingled throughout the lessons are some funny but true stories, personal testimonies, and real-life facts. Reflecting Him is written to meet you where you are in life. If you prefer to do the study by yourself, that works great! If you need the accountability of a group, this study encourages discussions about what you and others in your group learn from the Holy Spirit each week. But whether you are in a small group, a large one, or by yourself, be ready for an exciting adventure that holds laughter as well as tears! If you are a new believer yearning to study God''s word, or someone well trained in the Word of God you will see how a true relationship with the Lord can change your life. Jesus tells us to abide in Him. This study helps you develop your walk with Jesus so you become excited about living for God and loving it! Reflecting Him is more than just a Bible study. The Reflecting Him Video Teaching Series is designed to accompany the ten-week Bible study. Each week''s lesson starts with Carla McDougal speaking about something pertaining to the lesson. She brings to life the way God is involved in everything we do. The session also includes an episode from Behind the Veil, an original movie which shows how lives are changed when God''s truths are revealed. Follow a daughter who learns to reconnect with God when she goes home after her father''s death. Watch her son learn about his roots, and at the same time discover what it means to be a child of God.

| laughter medicine scripture: The Humor of Christ Elton Trueblood, 1964 The Humor of Christ inspires Christians to redraw their pictures of Christ and to add a persistent biblical detail, the note of humor. Throughout the Gospels, Christ employed humor for the sake of truth and many of his teachings, when seen in this light, become brilliantly clear for the first time. Irony, satire, paradox, even laughter itself help clarify Christ's famous parables, His brief sayings, and important events in His life. |

| laughter medicine scripture: That's in the Bible? William D. Mayo, 2011-10-26 That's In The Bible? illustrates the significant impact the Bible has had on our everyday conversational language. Throughout history, written and verbal language has been seasoned with hundreds of colorful expressions lifted directly from its pages. This is no less true in our modern language - newspapers unknowingly use catchy phrases as headlines that are actually derived from biblical texts. Advertisers lure customers with limited time offers, such as Don't Miss the Boat! - a direct reference to Noah and the Ark. And people use familiar colloquial expressions casually in everyday speech perhaps without even being aware of the fact that they are using an expression originally penned in Scripture. This book explores many such phrases - everyday expressions - voiced from the corporate boardroom to the schoolyard playground. Each phrase is traced to its original biblical roots. The study of word and phrase origins is known as etymology - from the Greek words etymon meaning true sense and logos meaning word. This book presents the true sense of the word and promotes Bible discovery, readership, and witnessing. It is intended to illustrate the Bible as a genuinely user-friendly resource. |

This is storytelling at its funniest. If laughter is the best medicine, then this book is your prescription. Turn off the news and spend a few days not following current events. Instead, return to the basics—humanity’s ability to laugh at itself. Maybe you should even do a news cleanse for a few days! Hide under the covers and read these stories instead. Or read a chapter a day, or a story a day for 101 days. These pages contain the antidote to whatever is troubling you. They will definitely put you in a good mood. No one is safe from our writers— from spouses to parents to children to colleagues and friends. And of course the funniest of all are the stories they tell about their own mishaps and those “most embarrassing moments.” There’s no holding anything back in these pages, so prepare for lots of good, clean (and not so clean) fun. |
| laughter medicine scripture: Reading the Bible in the Strange World of Medicine Allen Verhey, 2003-12-11 Author of such major books as Remembering Jesus: Christian Community, Scripture, and the Moral Life, Allen Verhey has become one of today's most trusted Christian voices in contemporary ethics, including the moral challenges that new medical technologies pose to Christian faith and decision-making. With this new book Verhey brings the biblical tradition to bear on contemporary bioethical concerns. Drawing on an unmatched depth of insight in these two realms, Verhey explores how the Bible can illuminate and guide medical ethics. He argues that churches are called to think and speak clearly about bioethical concerns, and he lays out here the scriptural tools for them to do so. After firmly grounding Christian ethical discourse in Scripture, Verhey shows how the Bible can be applied to such pressing questions as suffering, genetic intervention, abortion, reproductive technologies, end-of-life care, physician-assisted suicide, and more. Filled with faith-based wisdom and apt illustrations of the moral dilemmas discussed, this book is a must-read for Christians grappling with the ethical dimensions of medicine today. |
