"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."
Yea, I forgot about him. I like him if I'm not in the mood to go too deep. John Piper is my all-time favorite "famous" Preacher, but he is not on TV where I'm at. Man, would I love for him to start buying time on TBN, maybe some regular watchers might get a bit of truth from that channel.
Maybe its already been mentioned but I can't stand preachers that feel the need to put a "huh" at the end of every sentence as if it were a sign that their preaching was
anointed. Seems to me that in reality it is some type of hypnotic technique if anything. But, more than anything else, it's distracting. I end up counting the "huh's" rather than hearing the message.
Never heard that. Perhaps it's something American.
Whatever, is it that the preacher "feels a need" to say "huh" at the end of a sentence, or is that just the way he would normally speak, when he is not preaching?
I remember hearing a preacher who often would say, "And I can say without fear of condriction ..........."
And every time he said that I disagreed with his idea that he felt could not be contridicted. :laugh:

David, they only do it when they are preaching. When I was pastoring in North Georgia it was more common. There were even a couple of SBC churches that I knew of where the pastor "huh"ed at the end of every sentence when he was preaching. The need to do that or the why behind it always baffled me.
Thanks.
I don't want to monopolise the thread with this, but I thought that Americans tended to insert a "huh"
to emphasise a question.
"Can I have a cookie, Mom, can I, huh?"
Maybe the preacher does it for similar emphasis.
"Do you think you can make yourself good enough to go to God's heaven, huh?"
