I can stand any kind of preaching, for as Paul said
"to the Jews I became like a jew"
"to the Gentile I became like a gentile"

that by all means I might save some.

I welcome every kind of preaching, the more kinds, the better.

Not me, YOU evidently haven't heard some of the bozos that I've heard.

Clown Preaching! That sounds hilarious!!! They could perform the wedding and then perform for the reception.

Inflammatory words, actions, and deeds may catch people's attention for a moment, but usually don't have long-lasting results.

For example, when I think of billboards, megaphones, and people screaming, the Westboro church comes to mind.

This is a hindrance and shame to the gospel, rather then advancing the kingdom of the Lord.

But you gotta do what God tells ya to do. Right?

Right?

Please note my quotes around the word "preaching", indicating that what some call preaching is nothing of the sort.

All sound Biblical preaching, done in whatever Biblical form, is good and needed.

Remember, no man comes to Christ unless the Father draws them. It's our job to preach the Gospel (outer call). It's God's job to convict and draw the elect to Himself.
