This week my sister and I have been leading HoneyRock devos in the morning. We have been reading out of a book called Stuff Christians Like which was just released last week. The author, Jon Acuff, started a blog called Stuff Christians Like about two years ago and it has grown into a fantastic blog with a worldwide following—I think over a million people read it (although I could certainly be wrong about that.) Jon was raised in a Christian home and does a great job of pointing out some of the funny things about Christians and things that those of us who grew up in that context kind of take for granted—like Vacation Bible School, and summer camp, and that guy in the youth group who plays guitar that all the girls like, and giving little kids fire to play with at Christmas Eve services, etc.
My favorite thing about his blog is what he calls his “Serious Wednesday” posts. Each Wednesday he writes a post that, although funny, contains a beautiful or insightful thought. He often looks at Bible stories I am very familiar with (like the Prodigal Son) and points out something amazing from a completely different point of view.
I would highly recommend this blog and also this book, but I’m not sure that his sense of humor would be funny to everyone. I encourage you to check out a Serious Wednesday post and see what you think.
