Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting. –Ephesians 5:4 (KJV)

God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.  –Romans 1:24 (NIV)

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.  –1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV)

SermonAudio: Top Ranking Sermons Against Pornography.

The Largest State Universities Ranked by Enrollment. (to get the biggest crowds).

Dr. John R. Rice, Adultery and Sex Perversion (Sword of the Lord Publishers, 1978). I’m leaning towards imitating Dr. Rice’s preaching style on this subject.

—. Evolution or the Bible–Which? (Sword of the Lord Publishers, 1963).

David Wilkerson, The Vision, ch. 3: “A Flood of Filth.”

—. Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth, ch. 2: “The ‘Horrible Thing’ in God’s House: Adultery, Fornication, and Divorce.”

—. Racing Toward Judgment, ch. 4: “The Flash Points of Judgment.” (on porno)

John Wesley, “The Spirit of Bondage and of Adoption.”

Jed Smock, Who Will Rise Up? (Vital Issues, 1985). This would definitely be worth reviewing, with a critical eye, especially against any “dirty old man” sex jokes. I hear he was able to draw huge crowds while preaching against sexual sin. But some of his expressions were extreme, so read and imitate with Bible in hand, and with caution. The video below shows how Brother Jed used to preach on college campuses two years after he finished this book. The main thing I see wrong with his method is the use of the words “whore” and “whoremonger” (both KJV words)–to point at a girl and call her “whore” or “slut” if need be. This whole thing was based on 1. Just being a jerk. 2. Drawing a crowd. 3. To bring shame on the sin of fornication. 4. And again, just being an insensitive a-hole. But there’s no question that open air preachers could still learn some valuable lessons from him. Look at his crowd! Look at how many kids are just sitting there thoughtfully listening! He’s doing SOMETHING, although not everything, right! Certainly not the whore part.

Holy Hubert Lindsey, Bless Your Dirty Heart (Logos, 1973). A Jesus movement preacher at Berkeley. He was so provocative that he was nearly beaten to death, went into a coma, and then was made permanently blind. Smock said, “Dr. Lindsey has influenced my ministry more than any other living man.” As you can see in the second video below, they associated with one another. Just off the bat, Hubert strikes me as an extremely mean-spirited preacher. I mean really, laughably so: RIDICULOUSLY MEAN. But he was able to draw crowds. So again, its probably worth studying the sermon topics that he preached on, if for no other reason but to learn how to draw crowds. He was in the habit of calling people “sinners” and “masturbating devils.” Again, this is just insulting speech: and probably illegal disorderly conduct. A very LOW-BROW preaching style for sure. But the subjects usually are: 1. Sexual Sin. 2. Evolution. And huge crowds form and stay.
