Wilbur Coats: A Speech Analysis
As I am sure there have been many poor communicators in the preaching world. There is one man in particular who stands out above the rest in my mind. He calls himself a healing evangelist, and for purposes of this assignment, I will call him Wilbur Coats. Wilbur, in all of his rantings, talks a good talk. However, he stresses the importance of healing evangelism and speaks highly of himself. In one of his sermons, he holds his Bible in one hand and drones on about other healing evangelists, taking a very long time to give his message. I honestly could not stomach to watch another minute of his speech. One act he performs is radical healing sessions. I call it an act because it goes against everything I know about the Holy Spirit and

    Why Does David Buttrick Use Of Sermonic Ideas

    Scripture has so many fulfilling riches that are missed because preachers fail to spend time in the scriptures, but the scripture alone is a wonderful place to begin to seek sermonic ideas. One of the biggest down falls of preachers is that they don’t spend enough time in the scripture. It is hard to say that preaching comes from the scripture, but the preachers don’t have a firm understanding of what is found in…

    Lincoln's Inaugural Address Rhetorical Analysis

    Lincoln used rhetorical devices such as allusion and the rhetorical appeals pathos and ethos to convey his message in a way so his audience would respond to his message the way he wanted. He expresses the theme that both the North and South are responsible for the horrible devastation of the Civil War, and that both sides must strive for peace and unity.…

    Dwight D Moody Analysis

    Throughout the history of evangelism and rising occurrence of philanthropic activity in the United States, few individuals have had as significant of a lasting effect as Dwight L Moody. The echoes of his ministry and education on the written word and his works toward successful evangelism through tactics of mass media remain a resounding presence in the current day. The impact that Dwight L. Moody had on the philanthropic realm is significantly demonstrated through his interdenominational work, encouragement of lay participation, social reform efforts, refining and adaptation of his evangelical technique, and the unity that he generated across the nation of the United States from his vision of life. This pre-emptive documented analysis will further seek to identify the impact that he had on the evangelical movement, while taking a plethora of factors into consideration. First, this paper will search into Moody’s life, including proper surveying of his early life, including his relocation to Chicago (with the addition of the…

    Frederick Douglass Speech Rhetorical Analysis

    Douglas is addressing white American citizens or slaveholders. No, Douglas is not happy to be speaking to the crowd because of what has happened in the past and present concerning the issue of slavery. Douglas is claiming that the American people have strayed from the founding ideas of liberty and justice. The key message Douglas is conveying towards the group gathered is that how can a country be freedom based, but yet so limited to which types of people are allowed that freedom. Yes, in fact I think Douglas delivered the speech in the perfect setting. Douglas spoke on July 4th, which was a day of celebrating freedom. He revealed to the citizens that not every type of individual was free. Douglas was bashing the idea of slavery and how it…

    Robert W. Lee Speech Analysis

    I am in favor of the action that Robert W. Lee IV took to speak out and recognize the racism in Charlottesville. I defend Lee for his courageous decision to share how he sided on the debate on taking down the statue of his ancestor, Robert E. Lee, an idol of white supremacy. Lee IV stated that by being the pastor of the Bethany United Church of Christ, it is only right for him to speak out against America’s original sin, racism. I choose to defend Robert W. Lee IV because of something he said in his speech at the MTV’s Video Music Awards. Lee stated, “Today, I call on all of us with privilege and power to answer God’s call to confront racism and white supremacy head- on.” In response to this, I would have no reason to criticize a man who is…

    Bernie Sanders Speech Analysis

    At the Bernie Sanders rally, he used a variety of techniques while presenting to the group. I noticed when he hit key talking points in his argument; he would use his hands that would elicit a stronger reaction from the crowd. He read his audience demographics well by hitting on housing cost, minimum wage and the high cost of tuition (all very important concerns of college students). However, there were some points he made I felt to be confusing. At one point in his speech, he mentioned how Native Americans were taken advantage of in the past. He tried to say that we should follow the Native American’s lessons and live with nature (and not destroy it with fossil fuel and natural gas exploration). It seemed he used a fallacy to connect two…

    Thaddeus Stevens Speech Analysis

    After reading the provided statement and considering the points it made I would have to disagree with it on two grounds. Firstly, handing control of the local police to the recently freed slaves would put many people in the police force out of work. This would create a situation similar to that of the Iraq war in which we removed all members of the Baathist party from power, by doing this we put thousands out of work, and essentially created many of the insurgency groups we are dealing with today. The same thing would happen if you gave freed slaves complete control of local police departments, they would ostensibly fire the majority of the white officers. Secondly, the idea of abolishing the southern states, and creating new ones is preposterous. People take pride in calling where they come from and they take pride in calling themselves Texans, Virginians, etc. If you did both of these conjointly even with how…

    The Cornerstone Speech Analysis

    The Cornerstone Speech was a speech held by the American Vice president of southernmost states of the USA, Alexander Stephens at the Athenaeum in Savannah, Georgia, on March 21, 1861. The speech was delivered on the basis of the USA's desire to put an end to slavery. However, Stephens and the southern states believed that the economy was based on slave labor and therefore an end to slavery be bad for the US economy. The language of the speech is very old-fashioned and difficult to understand because it is from 1861. The speech appeal to the southern citizens, who are like Stephens believes that slavery is good for the American society.…

    Frederick Douglass Speech Analysis

    Frederick Douglass was one of those who believed that the Constitution was in fact antislavery. He gave a speech entitled “The Constitution of the United States: Is It Pro-Slavery or Anti-Slavery?” to explain how easily one could misinterpret something that’s been written. Douglass explains throughout his speech that people tend to interpret things in ways that will benefit them in particular rather than everyone. He believed that the Constitution’s wording was meant to be taken literally. In fact, he believed that even the debates as the Constitution was being put together “were purposefully kept out of view, in order that the people should adopt…

    Lincoln Memorial Speech Analysis

    I can picture myself standing there on that balmy day on August 28, 1963. The temperature is drifting around summer heights; but, it will tumble with the autumn leaves and flutter down to breezier temperatures soon. It is a time filled with anticipation: for change. The leaves cannot resist dressing themselves in sprinkles of red. The people are beginning to uncover jackets from the backs of closets. On this morning, 250,000 civil rights supports gather at the base of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington to hear a speech that would bring about its own change—a change that would affect the lives of all of America.…
