Brian Wells posted these YouTube videos at Church Media Network. I thought they were quite humorous, but was a bit hesitant to post them. They exaggerate the way things really are and must be taken in that light. I certainly don't condone making oneself out to be morally or spiritually superior to others.
Jesus warned us about doing that in the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. Both went to the Temple to pray. The Pharisee thanked God he was superior to "sinners" like the Tax Collector, while the Tax Collector, the hero of the story, was humbly confessing his sins. It's the easiest thing for us to pray, "Dear God, I'm glad I'm not like this Pharisee, who looks down on people." And in so doing become just like the Pharisee.
Still, these videos will probably step on the toes of some people. So if you're easily offended or have trouble laughing at yourself, please don't watch them.
Wow--am I ever offended! Why can't I think of that kind of stuff??? Thanks John, I really enjoyed these.
Hope your Advent is drawing you closer to him. Take care of my boy Luke.

BTW, I kind of feel like an automated robot but I can still read the letters. Perhaps there is hope!
