One time, when I was about 17, the pastor of the church I was going to was preaching a sermon that was to be aired on one of the local radio stations later on that day. At one point in the sermon, he was talking about how Satan tries to attack everyone with his "firey darts" (in other words, presents them with temptations to sin). Well, while he was saying this, instead of saying "Satan's firey darts," he said "Satan's firey farts."
His wife and daughter were in the congregation at the time, and thought it was funny. I honestly didn't catch that part. My mind must have been wandering off when he said that. It has a tendency to do that.
By the way, the person recording the sermon edited out the "firey farts" part before putting it on air.

Yes, it's funny. Also shows that God has a sense of humor.

Thats hysterical. We are all human, and stuff happens. It should be laughed at;
I know a Pastor who would sometimes use the phrase "you bet your sweet bippy", until he found out that in Canada, one of the places where his teachings aired, a "bippy" is an outhouse. So on international broadcast he was saying "you bet your sweet outhouse on it".
Its good medicine when we can laugh at ourselves, and this is a good lesson for us all to learn here on R&S, where so often someone makes a joke to lighten the mood a bit when its so badly needed, and then they get hammered with hate mail.
People should chill out and take a joke for what it is: a joke!

As a "preacher" - I find it very funny. I've heard a few of my own.
There was the Lay-reader who mispronounced the word "Hittites" as "High Titties". There was the Priest who forgot to take his lapel microphone off when he went to the bathroom. And left it ON!!
My favorite - at a wedding, Father said, instead of "Lawfully joined" - "Jawfully loined" together.

Once I knew a youth pastor who was trying to say the drug for ADHD and he said "Viagra" instead to all the youth. The youth were silent as the youth pastor tried to correct himself, redfaced as he was.
