Bible Note: Doc, I'm convinced that there are churches today where, should the pastor preach a strong, biblically-based sermon on the wrath of God: sin, judgment and hell, half of the congregation would walk out during the sermon and the other half would call an emergency meeting and fire the pastor. A good percentage of "televangelists" don't preach the gospel of Christ. They preach, if we dare call it preaching, a namby-pamby, watered-down feel-good assortment of fluffy nonsense. They know well what people want to hear and are willing to pay for. As a consequence, the people get the powder-puff nothingness they want to hear and the preacher gets his pockets lined with lots of green-backed pieces of paper, the kind Wal-Mart and the Mercedes dealer will accept in exchange for merchandize. I've seen so much erosion in sound doctrine in my 70 years, it makes my skin crawl to think about it. --Hank |
