Lightning Strikes Preacher Who Asked For Sign

HEAVEN SENT?
Preacher seeks sign, gets zapped by lightning
Evangelist sees church burn, sound system blown out
A guest evangelist preaching in Forest, Ohio, was asking God for a sign when lightning struck the church's steeple.
''It was awesome, just awesome," said church member Ronnie Cheney, 40, who was in the church when the lightning struck, according to the local paper, the Findlay Courier. ''You could hear the storm building outside ... He (the evangelist) just kept asking God what else he needed to say,'' Cheney said. ''He was asking for a sign and he got one.''
About 7:45 p.m., lightning hit the First Baptist Church's steeple, went through the electrical wiring and blew out the church's sound system. Cheney said the lightning traveled through the microphone and enveloped the preacher, but he was not injured.
Afterward, services resumed for about 20 minutes, but then the congregation realized that the church was on fire and the building was evacuated.
According to Forest Fire Chief Doug Hawkin, his crew, along with fire departments from two other towns, doused the blaze.
''It was kind of interesting hearing the preacher talk about what had happened,'' Hawkin admitted.
There were no injuries.
Damage to the church was estimated at about $20,000.

It is obvious we must now abide by the will of God, and burn all churches quickly.

That's certainly the biblical interpretation.

God's vision isn't quite the same as Man's.
As Doc said, watch what you ask for. The illustration may be startling.

It's a good job that preacher didn't ask for signs as in a whole series of them.

Damn it, I want to know exactly WHAT the preacher was asking the sign for! Given some of the other headlines mentioned on that page, I bet it was a doosie.
Bad on the journalist for not reporting all the relevant facts.

around fifteen years ago there was a priest and a nun playing golf. the priest hit his drive into the woods and said "god dammit I missed." so it started to thunder. then the priest hit a shot into a bunker and again said, "god dammit I missed." now the rain began to come and the nun wanted to go inside, but the priest convinced her to stay for a little while longer. then, when the priest hit into a water hazard for his third shot, he yelled "god dammit I missed" for the third time. now the heavens parted and a giant lightning bolt came down from the sky; strangely, it electrocuted the nun and not the priest. a booming voice then loudly came from the heavens proclaiming, "god dammit I missed."
that's what I've been told anyway. seems hard to imagine, does it not...? they do not make heavenly signs the way they used to I suppose.

Yeah, he can now make his own smokescreen for emergencies and raves!
Say it with me, "Eww...pun!"

I have to say, this was my favorite part...lightning strikes the building, blows out the electrical system, and starts a fire...and nobody notices the fire for 20 minutes. Gotta love it.
Maybe they were too taken with the holy spirit after witnessing the, er, miracle...
