 Preaching |
Cojak |
In Church history, when did the practice of very demonstrative speaking start? I am smiling now thinking of a Grandson, our first. Back ground: our son married a woman from Texas who was active duty, USAF in Washington DC.
To me she was always a strange lady, but she was his choice. A year after the birth of our first Grandson, She moved out while son was at work. Taking every thing. we received two letters in the 4 years, one postmarked Florida and one postmarked Ohio. She had sent the letters to friends to forward to us.
We learned she ended up in Utah and it was 3-4 years until we heard from her. She agreed, and we sent plane tickets for the kid to fly out for the Summer.
In our church services the pastor was PREACHING. My grandson shook my sleeve and whispered, "Why is he yelling at us?"
Have you ever pictured our Lord presenting a message as we do today? Do you picture Paul or Peter doing it?
The reason this has come up is We had a visiting preacher at our RV park. He was from Uganda. He spoke precise, I UNDERSTOOD EVERY WORD, and his presentation was a lot like Bro. Charles Conn, we were truly blessed.
It may be because I am old and do not hear fast enough for many COG preachers today.
So I am asking, when did we start PREACHING as most consider our ministry of today? Just askin'.

I should have did my research, I forget to search the net. It seems Whitefield in the 1700s was the beginning of demonstrative preaching.
Sorry... 
Quote: As a boy in Gloucester, England, he read plays insatiably and often skipped school to practice for his schoolboy performances. Later in life, he repudiated the theater, but the methods he imbibed as a young man emerged in his preaching.
He put himself through Pembroke College, Oxford, by waiting on the wealthier students. While there, he fell in with a group of pious "methodists"—who called themselves "the Holy Club"—led by the Wesley brothers, John and Charles. Under their influence, he experienced a "new birth" and decided to become a missionary to the new Georgia colony on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
