You will have to read the full article to get the full flavor of what the Coach is saying here. I guess besides saying that Jesus did raise his voice on occasion he is also saying the Church has become sissified. If men in the Church want to act like women I hope that they at least take some lessons from Sarah Palin. 😛

People are always talking about what Jesus would or would not do, as if they really had a clue what the Creator of the universe would do in our worldly situation. I got so fed up with hearing people say “what would Jesus do” when that was the number one trite saying going around that I wrote my own article about it. You might read the above link if you tend to use those words or just want to hear me rant on about those that do. Of course we all know that Jesus would never rant…..except maybe against religious hyprocrites. 😉

Dave Daubenmire — Jesus Wouldn’t Yell

“Let me ask you a question. After Jesus was led into the dessert and tempted of the Devil, does anyone know how Jesus fought the enemy?”

My brown eyes panned the room looking at the questioning faces; hoping one would know the answer. Finally, in the back of the room a voice squeaked out, “He used the Word.”

“That’s right!!!” I blurted out as I jumped on the front pew. “IT IS WRITTEN.” Jesus fought by using the Word of God and we must learn to do the same! My eyes flashing the passion that players expect out of their coach. Electricity filled the air.

“Well I bet Jesus wouldn’t yell”

I quickly turned towards the sound of the voice. It had emanated from the mouth of a matronly teacher sitting in the third-row of this huge auditorium. She obviously did not appreciate my coaching style. I felt the hair stand-up on the back of my neck. But thanks to the power of the Holy Spirit I did not lash out at her obviously-rude behavior.

Later that day I was at football practice and during a water break I was looking at the rocky hills surrounding our practice field and I suddenly thought of the Sermon on the Mount. Thousands came to hear our Lord as he sat at the top of a hill high over the city. Hmmm, I thought. Top of the hill, thousands of people, no public address system, I wonder how the multitudes heard Him?

I had my answer.

Where do we get these sissy ideas about Jesus? We’re talking about a guy who made a whip and cleared out the flea market at the temple. Don’t you suppose he raised his voice a decibel or two? Read what he said to the Pharisees and Sadducees “a brood of vipers.” Do you think He did this with soft, soothing voice?
