The Dangers of Being Religious
A Fine Gospel for Preaching
Cycle B Gospel Text Sermons for Pentecost Last Third
Jeff Foxworthy has made a career of telling redneck jokes. For instance, you might be a redneck if someone asks you for identification and you show them your belt buckle. The South doesn't have a lock on rednecks. The North has them also. For instance, you might be a redneck if you've ever burned a tire on the hood of your car in winter to help get it started.
Here in the church I'd like to poke fun at some of the straight-laced, self-righteousness that passes for Christianity. So, behold, I bring you the Pharisee joke!
