Saved by the power of disbelief
I have trouble with the part of miserable sinner. It defines my unsaved condition and sets up the dramatic challenge to be saved. It's funny. It's a role I can believe in, closer than the fantastic claims of salvation. What's my problem?

Objections to being a miserable sinner: (1) I want to leave the serious sinner behind. (2) No distinction or discrimination between sinners and saved is allowed. (3) Don't get involved with serious world or serious self.

All of these objections are met by making the sinner a role in funny world, not to be believed.

Wow, what a powerful disbelief! I'm laughing.
