Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
So this is for those of you who are football fans. The following football terms that have been applied to the church:
A Benchwarmer- is someone who does not sing, pray, work, or apparently do
anything but sit in the pew.
A Draw Play – is what many children do with the bulletin during worship.
Half-time – is the period between Sunday School and worship when a few people
choose to leave.
Staying in the pocket – What happens to a lot of money that should be given to the
Lord’s work.
The two Minute Warning – The point at which you realize that the sermon is
almost over and begin to gather up your children and belongings.
Instant replay – When the preacher loses his notes and falls back on last week’s
illustrations.
Sudden Death – What happens to the attention span of the congregation when the
preacher goes into ‘overtime.’ (which of course is after 12:00 noon).
An End Run – is when you get out of church quickly, without speaking to anyone.
A Flex Defense –is the ability to allow absolutely nothing that was said during the
sermon to affect your life.
The Halfback Option – The decision of 50 percent or more of the congregation not
to return for the evening service.
Finally, A Blitz: is the rush that takes place following the closing prayer to beat
the crowd to the local restaurants.
