Hard to preach when you want to bust out laughing.

LOL, that's pretty good.

I imagine it's pretty tough to work on a sermon all week and then when delivering it see a bunch of distracted people in the congregation. We have Christians come up in front of the congregation on occasion and give their testimony. Sometimes they are so caught up in every nuance that the congregation gets distracted. The best advice a Pastor gave me was if you're going to witness to someone, or give testimony, you need to make your point within 2 minutes or you will lose that persons attention.

A great example is a couple weeks ago we had a baptism of new believers during the service. Among those being baptized were 3 former muslims. Prior to being immeresed in the water one of the former muslims gave the best testimony of the day.

He was asked why he had become a Christian. His response was, "because of the love of Jesus". Probably a third of the congregation spontaneously shouted AMEN!
