Today, we further explore a tip from my friend Lance Owen. Use humour. Someone said, "I open a man's mouth with laughter so I can pour a dose of truth into it." Humour can be a very effective way of communicating important information. The use of humour in teaching about God is legitimate. Have a look at the video last week about the teaching of Jesus, or you could also take Elijah as an example - “At noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud! Surely he is a god; either he is meditating, or he has wandered away, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.”” (1 Kings 18.27 NRSV; see also Isaiah 44.15). Today, we're going to talk about the pros and cons of a good giggle, and how to develop your humour muscle.
