Doctors and psychologists tell us that laughter is good for us. But the Scriptures distinguish between good and bad laughter. God disapproves of any humor that belittles people or makes light of immorality.
Sin is never a laughing matter.
Joe E. Brown was a top-notch movie and Broadway comedian of the World War II era. But if telling a dirty story is the price I must pay for your laughter, then I'm not interested. I've never done an act that I couldn't perform before my mother, and I never will. The soldiers rocked the jungle with their cheers. Lord, give us a merry heart.
