Another good example of a preacher that uses a lot of humor is Bro. Billy
Cole.  (I don't think we need to question his effectiveness!)

On the other hand, you do have to be careful with humor.  Sometimes humor
can hurt another person. Some sensitivity is required.  I know there is a
scripture in Proverbs having to do with this.  If I find it, I'll post it.

Rejoice in the Lord!
