Do you think it’s only Obinim and his ilk who commit questionable acts to acclaim from their congregations? Think again, as this video of a New Jersey pastor proves.

There are many ways to bring a wayward person back to the Lord, and this pastor decided to take a rather more unconventional approach. In a sermon to his congregation, he recounted to them the process he used to lead one young man to the Lord.

Pastor Eric Dammann of the Bible Baptist church laid out a wayward youth he described as a smart aleck. The kid was not taking the Lord seriously, so he punched him square in the chest to bring him to his senses.

In a video posted to YouTube, he recalled the kid was being a ‘real smart aleck’ and ‘pushing his buttons’.

“So I walked over to him and I went, Bam! punched him in the chest as hard as I could. I crumpled the kid. I just crumpled him” He said, demonstrating the blow.

“Then I leaned over and said, Ben, when are you going to stop playing games with God? I led that man to the Lord right there”

A punch to the chest; a sure-fire way to lead the wayward back to the Lord’s path.
