Pulpit, schmulpit. What about a preacher who puts his Bible on the floor and stands on it?
Sis. Priscilla McGruder did that when she was fighting cancer and said that she was "standing on the Word." I don't think she was disrespecting God's Word.

Yes, Sister McGruder told me that herself...loved her much.
I think we must understand the reasons behind each persons actions.
While all things must be decent and in order God honors our faith and sometime I believe HE actually tells us to do some things ...just as there is a thin line so to speak between a genius and an idoit there is a thin line between right and wrong...respect and disrespect at times....
God often uses foolish things to confound the wise however I do not believe it is an every night happening...God does give us common sense too....

Stand, schmand. What about someone who tears out pages of the Bible and eats them?

In all my years around Pentecostal churches, I've never seen anyone stand on the pulpit. That's a new one.
I guess I've seen about everything else though.
And some of you will be glad to know that we had runners everywhere last Wednesday night!!! And I was in Wisconsin and missed it all. But we had a great service there too.
If someone wants to stand on a pulpit, knock yourself out.
Just don't expect me to be impressed....
The times I have seen bizarre calisthenics or dramatic physical demonstrations I got the strange feeling it was done for special effect and there was an expectation of applause... which is fine I suppose, but personally, I think even a 2-ring circus does it better.
