I find it a sad situation.
Well, it is the foolishness of preaching that................

Do a little study and I think you will find that scripture doesn't refer to the preacher being a buffoon.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I have seen enough funny stuff happen in church while nothing emotional was happening...but this is interesting. Did you stop preaching? My pastor in TN once picked up a mic stand to bang against the platform to make a sound while making a point. The mic stand pinched his hand bad and it started bleeding bad, but like the trooper he is he kept preaching.

LOL! Well, I limped back to the pulpit as inconspicuous as I could and kept on preaching. I didn't move around after that. My ankle was the size of a softball that night. That was the first and the last time I jumped off any alters.
