Of all people Christians have more reason for joy and laughter than any other! In Psalms 126:1-3, the psalmist declared, “When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, The LORD has done great things for them. The LORD has done great things for Fus and we are filled with joy.” Because our Savior lives, joy and laughter can flow from our grateful hearts. Solomon declared that laughter is “good medicine.” In a world of sorrow, pain and difficulty, it is good for God's people to remember our source of joy and laughter. Jesus Christ! Our joy and laughter can also be a witness. Our world values laughter and comedy, but that comedy is often sensual and base. Yet, people long for good, clean entertainment. Entertainment that can be shared with anyone; at any age. That is why our ministry provides wholesome entertainment and encouragement for the entire family. We do well to laugh; it is good medicine. We also can share this gift of laughter and joy as an encouragement to our loved ones, pastor, boss, friends, and neighbors. Laughter can be a powerful witness to those in our community and family who need Jesus. |
