Pastor's Bloopers
1) A prominent lawyer who happened to be a member of our church was called on by the preacher to offer a prayer before the service. As the attorney started on a special plea, he began, "Your Honor," instead of "Dear God." Actually, it sounded sort of appropriate. 2) I was trying to make a point that lack of communication is the major cause of divorce, but somehow things got mixed up and I said "marriage is the main cause of divorce." It took a couple of minutes of giggling from the congregation before I realized my mistake. 3) During a Confirmation service, referring to the new converts, the pastor asked the 5 new "convicts" to come to the front of the church. He never knew what he said, but several people had to leave the building because they were laughing so hard. 4) While studying the intricate dress of the priests in the Old Testament, the preacher came to the part that describes how the priests put bells on the bottom of their robes. He asked, "Why do you suppose the priests had to tinkle." After a second of silence, the class broke up with laughter.
