I'm dying here. Dudes - sermons are seriously 40 MINUTES LONG?! He's joking, aren't you joking? Leonard? Back in my day they were half an hour tops - longer than that and old people started tapping their watches or making their hearing aids squeal. Think I'm kidding? My grandmother, everyone. Give her a hand. Oh, you crazy kids. I’m dying here.

Put in a few good movies clips, a quote from an Aerosmith song and viola. I only have to fill 29 minutes. If I ask for money, tell a "poor doggy gonna die" story I am now down to 21 minutes. Add a long prayer in the front and back of the sermon, I now only have to preach for 12 minutes. Choose a long passage of scripture, read the whole thing even though I am going to only use one verse, then make everyone in the church repeat things I say. I am now down to a 6 minute sermon. The dictionary definition of a sermon is - a talk on a religious or moral subject given by a member of the clergy as part of a religious service but an alternate definition is a long and tedious talk, especially one telling somebody how or how not to behave In keeping with this definition I really don't have time to preach. See how hard my job is? Sharolyn, this is not about us preachers… and do you know how hard it is to fill 40 minutes of time… that line is good for at least 2 and we didn’t even have to study.

In keeping with this definition I really don’t have time to preach. See how hard my job is?

I've always thought it kind of cheesy when pastors cite the dictionary in sermons. It makes me think that he thinks I'm 8. Preach it!
