Preaching
What do you think?
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.

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.
