I just published a podcast on humor in the Bible. And it was fun to seek out those things. I think the funniest was looking at nature… God has such a sense of humor. Just Talkin’ About Jesus
“Honest, deep, sincere laughter is, for God’s person… a way of giving vent to the deep inner joy that comes from truly knowing God as the loving Father who cares for us. Inherent in the very fact of laughing there lies a profound declaration that our confidence is in Christ our beloved Friend.”
“My laughter, therefore, is not to mask dark tragedy; it is a triumph over trouble.”
This guy's story is a clear indication of why we need God's grace and forgiveness, but I am still inclined to judge him harshly! 🤣

I remembered an essay I wrote a couple years ago on faith and humor (https://goodfaithmedia.org/maybe-being-the-light-of-the-world-means-laughing-more/ ) and I included a great quote by author W. Phillip Keller from his book, “What Makes Life Worth Living:”
“Honest, deep, sincere laughter is, for God’s person… a way of giving vent to the deep inner joy that comes from truly knowing God as the loving Father who cares for us. Inherent in the very fact of laughing there lies a profound declaration that our confidence is in Christ our beloved Friend.”
“My laughter, therefore, is not to mask dark tragedy; it is a triumph over trouble.”
I still love that! Thanks for spreading the word!
