HUMOR
Our sense of
humor is a gift from God which should be controlled as well as cultivated.
Oswald Sanders
Spiritual Leadership, Moody Publishers, 1967, p. 67.
Should we not
see that lines of laughter about the eyes are just as much marks of faith as
are the lines of care and seriousness? Is laughter pagan? We have already
allowed too much that is good to be lost to the church and cast many pearls
before swine. A church is in a bad way when it banishes laughter from the
sanctuary and leaves it to the cabaret, the nightclub and the toastmasters.
