Q64. When else am I sinning against the preaching of the Word?
When you mock, despise, or slander ministers, when you spread lies about them or willingly receive the lies others spread, when you persecute those who preach God's Word or feel a secret satisfaction watching them suffer, you are sinning against the preaching of that Word.
