It Feels Better When I Laugh

<p>Laughter is a wonderful gift from God. The Great Physician has prescribed laughter as a medicine that is good for us.</p><p>The happiest place in the community ought to be the place where the body of Christ assembles and celebrates. Of course there is a time for reverence and quiet but it is wonderful when the joy of the Lord overflows from the cup and runs into the saucer! And when a bunch of happy Christians gather together laughter is contagious.</p><p>A sad-sack Christian once asked me "Don't you believe laughter in church offends God?"</p><p>I replied "No but I believe scowling sneering Christians offend Him!" Saints it is time to be happy in the Lord. After all it always feels better when I laugh.</p><p> </p><p><strong>About the Author</strong></p><p>Rick Coram a full-time Southern Baptist Evangelist since 1988 accepted God’s call to preach as a teenage boy.
