Stories are told for various reasons, either to clarify the message or to explain what the message is going to effect their spiritual life.The one who conrols the meaning of the story will both be the dilever and the receiver, one good example would be, one accident and two people will tell the story, although one story but it will not be the same. Often we listen to preachers who loves to tell about their stories before they go into ministry, although they seem nasty stories but they tell it as a way to help others, but it seem that they have the authority to do and say whatever they feel because it will help listeners.
perhaps it is a good idea but it sort of interfere with the reality of the gospel message and it may give wrong interpretation to some listeners as well. There are so many stories in the bible which we can use and relate to our lives today and help us also. Stories are good and bad it depends on how we use it in a positive way that may support our spiritual being and how we make connection with God.
