There will be some "amen's", etc. but haven't heard any "Lord help him's". But I do think a good balance is in order. Thanks for sharing this humorous post. I enjoyed it. Blessings, Mark I guess our church is in the middle of the road. There will be some “amen’s”, etc. but haven’t heard any “Lord help him’s”. But I do think a good balance is in order.

Almost lost my morning coffee on that one, Chris! Though calling out during the service may not be culturally correct, I do think that our pastors benefit from our attentiveness during sermons....looking, taking notes, nodding, smiling, laughing (appropriately, of course). “If someone yelled, “Help him Lord,” during one of our services, the congregation would probably assume that a child was about to be drug out for a spanking and that his grandmother was interceding on the defendant’s behalf.”
