Ridiculous Stunts Pastors Have Pulled To Get People To Church

The HuffPost has an article entitled, "6 Of The Most Ridiculous Stunts Pastors Have Pulled To Get People To Church" here. I am not a fan of this approach to ministry and think that generally it is not ultimately helpful. But I must admit that some of the "stunts" performed by some of the prophets like Jeremiah and Ezekiel were likely viewed as "over-the-top" by their contemporaries. What are your thoughts?

The prophets weren't performing their acts for self-aggrandizement.

I agree, Todd. But I think that it is possible that at least some pastors who do these types of things have pure and noble intentions. But in general, I am not a big fan of what I would call "gimmicks." More often than not, it trivializes our message.
