Real question is what does God think?
Phil 1:8 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Christians REJOICE when Christ is preached! PTL!
Acts 4:19 Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

This was posted on the discussion board of baptistboard.com by dh1948.While visiting in Mobile recently, my wife and I were downtown walking past the Bienville Square. Walking around in the square was a street preacher. He was screaming...and I mean screaming...to the top of his lungs as he sauntered around preaching. His message was one of hell fire and brimstone...turn or burn. He sounded so angry.
I had no problem with his message, but his method caused me to ask my wife, "Do you think this is really glorifying to God?" I question the method of standing on a street corner or in a public square and screaming out a gospel sermon.
I thought, "If I was a lost person, how would I react to this man and his message?" After all, I am the one he would be targeting, so just how would I react? I have to say...with disgust. I would consider him to be a psych case...a cultist of a sort.
Before the castigation starts, I am not questioning the man's motive nor his message...just his method.
