Robert Elliott- John 14:12

Have you ever listened to a sermon that used profanity or even just lowered
their standards to get a laugh out of you or shock you? How do you feel
about it? Maybe you feel that it is okay to get the people to laugh to get
the point across and in certain situations maybe God has called them to do
that. Shouldn't a pastor take on Christ's way of teaching in how he
speaks? Doesn't making jokes sometimes speak irreverant of God? Is God's
name not Holy enough that we should make jokes and ridicule His name? Jesus
never used shock to bring people to believe in Him, shouldn't we be the
same? Read the excerpt from a sermon below and I want to hear your
comments:

"He never misled, he never said anything that would give false hopes or
draw a crowd and get people in around them and stir them up with no
thought of the future, ah who cares if in ten years or twenty years their
not here, as long as just now were getting a crowd. As long as just now
were making people feel somethings happening. We'll say whatever it takes.
Jesus never did that once, never once! "
