I am in no way sugesting that we profane the sanctity of the pulpit.
Neither do I consider the words "fag", "twinkie", or "queer" profane!
And yes indeed, I *DID* respond to that kind of preaching, and from
that very same preacher: Bro. Jeff Arnold! His preaching reached me
(not about fags, but about other issues with the same kind of
vocabulary) when others' preaching did not. Thank God for Godly men
led of God like Bro. Arnold who *WILL* preach just exactly what the
Holy Ghost has layed on them in spite of the complaints of other men.
