140 characters is a terrible place for theological arguments—but an amazing place for humor. I often find myself laughing out loud (or trying to hide it) on Twitter when reading jokes, looking at memes, or seeing a chart that can vividly describe reality without words.
Below is a list of my 15 favorite funny Christian accounts to follow on Twitter and some of their best tweets. Chances are you’ve seen a few retweets from these accounts. If you have any to add, share a link and a sample tweet in the comments section.
Enjoy!

God puts some people in our lives to help us reach certain milestones and others to help give us certain kidney stones.

One benefit of following me on Twitter is the ongoing reminder that, even during your darkest days, someone cares. Not me, but someone.

Chris Tomlin really puts me in the mood. I listen and I'm like "Awww, yeah. That's some disciple-making music right there."

JOURNAL ENTRY: Not being a pastor is tough. Extreme urge to start seashell collection. Must fight for joy.

When you say "God is pruning you" to someone my age, it means something quite different, but with the same general effect.

"STOP POSTING YOUR STUPID OPINIONS ON FACEBOOK!!!" – people with stupid opinions on Facebook
— Fake J.D. Greear (@FakeJDGreear) June 30, 2015
I agree that your "Church Discipline Cheer" is catchy, but "2-4-6-8, who can we excommunicate?" sort of misses the point.

If church gets you riled up against gays, the ACLU, or democrats but leaves you ambivalent about Satan, you might be in the wrong church.

Adults, just because you fit in with teenagers doesn't mean you're called to youth ministry. It could just mean you're immature.

This, then, was the situation: the whole mass of the human race stood condemned, lying ruined and wallowing in evil. Be encouraged today.
— St. AugOsteen (@StAugOsteen) June 25, 2015
Every morning, declare, “Something good is going to happen to me today.” Every inordinate affection should bring its own punishment.
— St. AugOsteen (@StAugOsteen) July 21, 2015
Thus it was that the human race was bound in a just doom and all men were children of wrath. It’s easy to get discouraged.

If you don't recognize your Bible without an Instagram filter, you're doing it wrong.
