Marilyn Manson on Humorless Christianity

I love to hear humor in bible teaching. It's so refreshing, so grace oriented! Most unbelievers seem to have the idea that Christianity is all serious. Shock rocker Marilyn Manson, who dedicated his life to "toppling Christianity," said that humor "has no place in Christian dogma." Many, many people need to have this idea destroyed. Jesus came to give life in abundance (John 10:10). (Written by Steve Miller, Copyright April 25, 2002.

Teachers and Kindness

?It is very difficult to teach anything without kindness?.Pupils should feel that the teacher wants to help them, wants them to improve, is interested in their growth, is sorry for their mistakes, is pleased by their successes, and sympathetic with their inadequacies.? Gilbert Highest

Make Sure the Simple Understand

?General Grant is said to have retained an incompetent officer on his staff for a single purpose. ?If he can understand my orders, anyone can,? explained Grant.? Auren Uris

Predictability Lowers Impact

Studies have shown, interestingly enough, that there?s a direct correlation between predictability and impact. The higher your predictability, the lower your impact. Conversely, the lower your predictability, the higher your impact. This is a great argument to keep students guessing as to what your delivery will be like this week, what media you might use, the order of service, etc. (From the collection of Barry St. Clair)
