Pulpit Language

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

 You have said in this post and in the following posts what I was not
able to put in words. There must not be any gray areas so that sinners
don't understand what we are saying . There were some things I was
practicing as a nominal christian because they had never been named . I
thank God for a plain spoken , fire breathing pastor. who made things
plain. then and only then could I repent. He used to preach that the
reason that God gave a great victory to a woman is that the men of Isreal
were to panty waisted to go into battle without Debora holding their
hand. We're in  a battle folks , garments rolled in blood, shouting ,
trumpet blasts. We don't say , excuse me , while I run this sword though
you. There is a vast difference between profanity and making thing plain
where there can be no doubt as to what we're saying (preaching). I'm
sorry the holy of hollies has been opened to whosoever will we should be
just as holy on the street corner as we are in the pulpit. Fact is we
probably should be preaching on the street corner where the sinners are .
