I see what you mean when you said I don't totally agree with it, but it does make you think. The church I grew up in and the church I go to here in DC stick to biblical priciples and do call out personal sins, along with the sins of others. And they both have their share of institution building, which I think is somewhat important for sustainability.<BR/><BR/>Last year, before I became a part of my current church, I went to another church in the DC area. They were all about instituion building and cotton candy preaching. The largest thing they did was jois up with Louis Farrakan as a major supporter of the Millions More Movement. For this and other reasons, I had to get away from that church. It was clear to me that they were too concerned about the church's financial growth and not enough about edification from the pulpit.<BR/><BR/>Randall, Impact HUAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16413529.post-1142978130524878312006-03-21T16:55:00.000-05:002006-03-21T16:55:00.000-05:00correction to my above comment, I understand Scott...correction to my above comment, I understand Scott you didn't write the article but when I read it, I percieved that was something similar to what you felt.. <BR/><BR/>Your sister in Christ...<BR/><BR/>Canal WinchesterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16413529.post-1142977497904541802006-03-21T16:44:00.000-05:002006-03-21T16:44:00.000-05:00Hi Scott,I really enjoyed your Chronicle about 'ju...Hi Scott,<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed your Chronicle about 'judge not'...It is important and you brought out some good views. The only thing I would like to add, if I may with all humbleness is that preachers and believers need to talk about what is going on in our society. I am saying this based on the statement about what is easier for preachers to preach their sermons about. Most may be preaching for their congregation in a particular season just for their house. I know you have conducted the surveys online and with sermons..I know your did do an exceptional job on research, but just because you didn't find it don't mean it's not being done. Maybe some of the big-named pastors, preacher, teachers should put more focus on political emphasis that are taking place. Take for example Pastor Rod Parsely (please excuse me if I spelled wrong) he does speak out with scriptural facts and experience but when he does that do people shun away or do they recieve it and embrace it? I don't belong to his church, but I have watched him on tv and visit because I live in the area. People I am finding are always attracted what is the current limelight for the Christian walk they are living rather than what is real. Just wanted to say don't limit yourself just to the findings but leave room for others who may really put work into showing that other side of the ministry...Your appreciated!<BR/><BR/>Your sister in Christ...<BR/><BR/>Canal Winchester...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
