I have an insatiable passion to find just the right sermon illustration (maybe it comes from my magic background). I have dones things that are a bit unconventional at times in order to make a point – such as buy a straight jacket online, light something on fire, put goldfish in a blender, and many other crazy things.
Every time I pull out one of these illustrations, I usually run it past my wife first. Without fail, she always looks at me like I am nuts. Yes, she is still supportive, but she has a way of humbling me with her gentle, yet suggestive words (and every once in a while she saves me from grave public humiliation).
This illustration by Joe McKeever cracked me me. I feel like this scene takes place at our house most Saturdays as I put the final touches on my sermon illustrations…
