Two distinct observations
First I went to bible School but all I learned I learned from the school
of practical experience. The greatest fireballs in Bible School well they
dropped by the wayside. Why do we have this misconception in our movement
that our Bible Schools make preachers?!? I am afraid I still make the
awful mistake of letting the congregation see my notes and I walk around
too much while I preach. I guess the fact that people are receiving the
Holy Ghost and the church is seeing revival means the Bible School proper
preaching does not make one iota of difference. I do believe in training
but again all who we thought would be the new leaders of today did not
make it in the real world. The use of chicken cussing in the pulpit well
that is something that should not be used but when Jesus said "He that
believeth not shall be damned..." The damnation is what sends people to
the altars.
Second, if we do not think a Pastor is doing right we have no reason to
bring that up here or anywhere else, before we have sat down with him and
let HIM know what we feel.
