What is the foolishness of Preaching in your opinion?
Must we act like fools to fulfill this passage? Or was it indeed suggesting something entirely different?
1 Cor 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Do we need pulpiteerisms to accomplish the goal?
Do the yellings, screamings, spittings, and inaudible frothings into an over-modulated sound system suffice?
Should we be sure to add the comic put downs of our very wives coupled together with other clever Clichés?
Is this anointing or just annoying?
Has it hindered the Gospel with the same burden of lunacy that other fanatics gain honestly?
What say ye?
