"Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2)

Anthony Dearinger, a preacher at the Independent Baptist Church in Hillsboro, Ill., demonstrated how God will pitch the Devil into Hell on Judgment Day, by picking up a 12-year-old boy from the pew where he was sitting with his parents and throwing him six feet. Dearinger has been convicted of child endangerment. Good thing the sermon wasn't about the crucifixion! (From "This is True," by Randy Cassingham)

Preachers do not need gimmicks or wild demonstrations in their preaching. All they need to do is boldly and convincingly preach the word of God.
