Preacher, stop yelling and
talking so fast. It’s unnerving. And unnecessary.
Fast talk, loudness, rapid-fire delivery,
and overpowering theatrics take away your listeners’ ability to think about
what you’re saying. All that
demonstration is distracting. And it feels like you're attacking people.
The staccato delivery of some
preachers – of some entire denominations – is a wonder to me.
It’s not in the Bible.
They’re clearly learning it from one another.
As though people in the Bible imitated
Jacob’s limp or Moses’ lisp.
Come on, guys. Stop it.
Nowhere in Scripture do we see
Jesus shifting into oratorical overdrive and putting on a show or demonstration
for people. Instead, He talked to them,
explained things, and taught them.
Scripture even says He “sat down”
to teach.
Stop pacing back and forth on the
stage like a caged lion, waving your arms wildly in the air, and trying to wax
eloquent. It’s distracting, immature,
and doesn’t add one iota of anointing.
