I see the world through the lens of Lutheran theology. But I grew up in the Methodist Church (UMC). (I bet your heart is "strangely warmed" by the thought of this.)

These drama scripts are packed with witty twists and intelligent humor that use classic comic techniques such as: surprise, exaggeration, incongruity, repetition, misunderstanding, comedy of errors, comedy of manners, physical comedy, irony, and satire.

Many of the InkSpirations scripts, from other categories, fall into the category of Funny Christian Skits. Those scripts are listed on this page.

It sets up a sermon on the merits of meekness and gentleness in the Christian life. Resurrection Theories This Three In One Skit helps people understand that there are three basic theories that try to disprove the resurrection of Jesus Christ: the Swoon Theory, The Theft Theory, and the Hallucination Theory. Each theory is examined and sets up a sermon on the literal resurrection. The big reasons why I began Arches 'n Bells were that many of the resources already existing online for congregations weren't meeting two crucial needs people want to be entertained (and that's okay!) and people in progressive faith communities want topics that reflect what's happening. Of course, there are loads of topics in the Bible that simply aren't conducive to silliness or triviality! Well then, go ahead and get serious but do it well. Engage us. Suck us into the story.

As a group they were the wealthiest, most active, and most physically fit generation up to that time, and among the first to grow up genuinely expecting the world to improve with time.
