“Just some of the bad words, I go, ‘Maybe I don’t want to say those words anymore.’”

You don’t have to use foul language to be a comedian. I think some of them are just like sheep and do it because others do it.

I think it’s interesting to just read the Bible like it’s a book - cover to cover - whether one is a believer or not. There are some incredible stories in there.

Dry Bar Comedy proves you don’t need crude language to be hilarious. Thank you to Samsung for having it on free Samsung TV.

“Gospel of Paul”

I’ve never heard of Paul’s letters being called his Gospel.

When the people who call themselves by God’s name actually read the Bible because they want to know what God’s wisdom says and obey it, God will heal this land.

It starts with the power of God’s Word in the lives of individuals, and I am so amazed and thankful that God’s Spirit is drawing so many unexpected people to Him.

Paul was taught by The Risen Christ coming from a Very Strict form of Judaism to Proclaim “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified”.
.
Paul has gone Deeper than the rest.
.
IMHO

Most people dont know that Tim Allen went to prison for five years (served 2.5) for his role in drug trafficking in 1981. He was asked by Readers Digest if there was one thing that happened to him in prison that profoundly changed him for the better, what was it? He said he read the book “Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl.” Allen is okay in my book.

Jerry Seinfeld said that if a comedian has to curse during their routine they haven’t fully developed the bit.

Especially pay attention to John 1:1.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Praise God! Romans is an incredible book. We are going through it in our church now and is incredibly deep with the Gospel of forgiveness.

"Gospel of “Paul “ ? Yo tim, 1st off good on ya. Second , you need to read the new testament again cuz it's the gospel, good news , of Christ . Not Paul."

To be fair, Paul does refer to what he is preaching as "my Gospel" in a few places:

Romans 2:16
On that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

Romans 16:25
Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages.

2 Timothy 2:8
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descended from David, as preached in my gospel.

He also describes as Jesus' or God's Gospel as well:

Romans 1:9
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers.

2 Corinthians 11:7
Did I commit a sin in abasing myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God’s gospel without cost to you?
