I heard of one graduate of a theological school who determined to follow his old professor\u2019s advice and preach the Word only. His crowds were average. Then one day a cyclone hit the little town and he yielded to the temptation to preach on the topic \u201cWhy God Sent the Cyclone to Centerville.\u201d The church was packed. This shook the young preacher and he went back to ask his professor for further advice in the light of what had happened. Should he continue to preach the Word to smaller crowds or try to fill his church by preaching sermons a bit more sensational? The old man did not change his mind. \u201cIf you preach the Word,\u201d he told the inquirer, \u201cyou will always have a text. But if you wait for cyclones you will not have enough to go around.\u201d<\/p>\n
