Thus saith the Lord, "I will destroy him that pisseth against the wall" (KJV)
This preacher tells us that "this phrase comes from the mouth of the Lord six times in scripture."
See, for example: 1 Kings 16:11 - "And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends."
The preacher concludes: "That's what's wrong with America, my friends. I will not pee sitting down."
(Caution: You might wet yourself laughing when you listen to this, so don't sit down while you read this, or you may be struck dead.)
"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Where DO you find this stuff?
ReplyDeleteThe next sermon in the series? Men Can Write Their Names in the Snow.
ReplyDeleteMales are bad, men are good. Is a mail man extra good? Well, I guess as long as he pisseth against the wall!
ReplyDeleteMy, this chap is insecure.
ReplyDeleteI don't make it up.
ReplyDeleteIn Hebrew the phrase 'the one who pisses against a wall' refers to male as opposed to female. The sentence is not condemning pissing on a wall!
ReplyDeleteThanks for clearing that up, Rev. Don.
ReplyDeleteAnd with one (presumably) hand raised, no doubt
ReplyDeleteYou COULDN'T make this stuff up!
