Happy Sunday, Churchfam❤️
Taking a look at the concept of Evangecomedy.
Do you think there could be a meeting point between the world and the gospel???
Evangecomedy is simply a blend of the words, evangelical (or evangelism) and comedy. It is a trend that has recently broken out in churches and drama ministries worldwide -- and it seems to have gained a lot of acceptance from Christians.
What are examples of evangecomedy? Is there any proof of or hint at the deployment of evangecomedy to win souls into the kingdom of God in the Bible? Is it worldly or godly, or 'in-between', as some see it to be?
Let's see.In today's world, we find some churches inviting comedians whose faith in Christ is certainly doubtable to perform on the very pulpit of such churches. From jokes about demons, tongues, gifts of the Spirit, the ministry of angels and other doctrinal concepts in the Bible to unreserved distortions of Christian songs and hymns into lifeless, unedifying concoctions of sounds, we find evangecomedy thriving in gatherings of believers.Why should believers gather?
_Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, *but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching.*_(AMP)
_Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:_(KJV)
These scriptures suggest the gathering of God's people unto their collective edification, encouragement, exhortation, growth, maturity and comfort.
Now while the Holy Scriptures tell us that He who sits in heaven laughs (Psa. 2:4), what does it tell us He laughs at?
The heathen, the kings of the earth, rulers who have colluded together against God and His anointed, and by extension, His Purpose. True, God is literally mocking them. 😅
