Sermon Illustrations

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. I once read a news story about a lawsuit in Tennessee. It seems that an evangelist was being sued for $1 million by a woman who claimed the evangelist-healer tried to punch a demon out of her stomach. The punch knocked the lady over onto another woman whose hip was broken by the fall. Both the women were hospitalized for extended periods. They were demanding compensation for hospital costs and punitive damages also (Baptist and Reflector, Nov. 1987).
