Most people think it happens by accident, but I know better.  One of my favorite tricks to create tension in an audience is, while i am preaching, to walk up and stand on the very edge of a raised platform.  The closer i get to the edge, the more tension I create.  Then, when the tension seems almost unbearable, i take a step backward and watch as the entire audience breathe a collective sigh of relief, knowing that i'm not going to fall off the platform.

Is it a cheap trick?  You bet!  Does it work?  Every time!  Why do  i do it?  I've never grown tired of leading others to Christ!  And i will use every means available to me to communicate Christ's love for people.  God may not be a vending machine, but the depth of his love for you and me is uncomprehendable!
