Featured Some preachers' annoying habit...

Such habits are at first natural, then passed on as conditioned.
What usually happens is that God is with a preacher, anointing his preaching, but the preacher has an existent natural condition, such as post-nasal drip, forcing him to cough to clear up his throat.
Young men who admire the power of that man's preaching go too far in emulating him by picking up his throat-clearing cough as though the power of God lay in it, and the tic is modified in sundry degrees and ways and is passed on.
If that man is spending time with God and is sincere, then God will bless his preaching despite the affected habit, and if not, he won't.
A few grow enough to learn to give more lightning than thunder, but again, God can use it anyway, whether I like it or not (and am not really a fan. As usual, @rlvaughn made the temperate remark in post #9).

 

It’s called entertainment and I’m apposed to it.

 

Its an old preaching style that passes from generation to generation. Most don't even realize they are doing it. All they ever heard in church. Around here, black preachers are terrible about it. Hooping and breaking into old black dialect that I can't half understand.
The Lorddddd saidddd.
I am good friends with an old black preacher. He talks like me, but when he gets in the pulpit, I can't understand 90% of what he says.
