“Soft preaching hardens hearts, hard preaching softens hearts” can’t remember who this quote is from but it’s good!
Dr John MacArthur
I thought it was a mark driscoll quote
The Holy Spirit softens hearts by the preaching of The Word of God that He wrote. ❤🔥🔥🔥
👍👍
It’s so rare to hear pastors preaching the entire gospel and actually teaching apologetics too.
Yes! Our pastor does aour church has grown like crazy!!!
@@lizwinters7062 what church?
Except they aren’t! Because the “entire Gospel” message is that God through the Holy Spirit because of what Christ did on the cross will and does help us with whatever we are going through and suffering from right now, right here in the land of the living in the physical world. Whatever is causing brokenness, downfall and sin in your life will be dealt with by God himself and be removed from your life if you believe and have faith.
Christ himself said in;
Mathew 6:33 “seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all his righteous and all these(worldly things that God knows we all need such as a job a place to live, food to eat, friends and companions to talk to and be there for you) things will be added unto you!” Are you challenging the teachings of Christ? Plus giving our own testimony as to what God has done in our lives(and this is especially includes the Pastor) is encouraging to all who believe and fellow Christ because this shows us all that God is real, he is there and he does care as we see the evidence so clear in each others lives! This is the evidence and proof that the Bible is more then just ink on a page, writing in an ancient book written by an ancient people that may or may not have understood how the natural world works, that the Bible is truly Divine in nature that there is true power to the Word and in the Word.
J A you're right
Speaking of which how tall does Friel think Goliath was? Because according to the Septuagint Goliath was as tall as him (Tom Friel I mean😂) and was not at all nine feet
“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.”
II Timothy 4:2
If people knew about the bad news, they would understand and receive the Good News! But their ears are only being tickled.
So hard to find a Gospel preaching church these days, but they are out there!

We should get the message clear: These are not weak preaching. These are false teachers leading people to hell.
Exactly.
@@beccaO0906 And many christian husbands follow their wives into hell and do nothing about it.
That’s it. Simply.

whoo - DANG!
I am so thankful my pastor is insistent on expository preaching. If not then one might have a tendency to skip over the tough subjects,which we all need to hear.
U r blessed to have that ptr Chappy.
I'm merely a Presbyterian Ruling Elder, but when I am in the pulpit, my desire is to share the Word of God without muddling or meddling (although I know I may err, I always pray to God for his grace and mercy in this and all things)!
May the Lord be with you and give you all the knowledge, wisdom and utterance you need
It takes the whole scriptures to make a whole Christian.
Plenty of ear ticklers out there. If they aren't preaching the word of God - run!
Ear tickling is what every Christian does.
Run Dee run. Hands gold medal
Praying that God raises up godly and qualified men to plant new biblical churches. 🙏
Watered-down preaching leads to congregants without discernment, who are susceptible to following lies like Jesus Calling and The Chosen.
What? Not familiar with the first thing you listed, but how is “The Chosen” a lie?
The Chosen : it's adding to the word of God by making Jesus speak much that he did in the Bible. Same for the apostles. It adds details that are not biblical. Therefore it is à lie...and many churches are kept into this trap...
@@vanessarouvier2827 I strongly disagree with that, its not claiming to be anything other than a historically inspired fictional work for entertainment, that actually still manages to embody the themes of the passages they put into live action. It’s not like the writers are claiming that their script adaptation is authoritative
@@arcanum3882 True discernment is not being able to tell that which is right from that which is wrong, it is being able to tell that which is right, from that which is almost right- Charles Spurgeon.
That which is almost right, is still wrong!
Thank you, Todd, for this refreshing reminder! We need the word of God only!
Discovered this channel recently. Became a favorite!
Honest teaching by Todd Friel from a biblical worldview.
I am so desperate for a preacher who preaches expositorily.
Thank you for this truth. I sat under Chuck Smiths teaching and still listen to his expository teachings on CZcams 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Todd Friel and more importantly, Pastor John MacArthur opposes Chuck Smith! They call ALL Maranatha, and Praise music, “Strange Fire.” Think about this quote from Pastor John MacArthur at the Strange Fire Conference in 2013, “They say the word Jesus all over the place, but they don’t know Him, they don’t know the Gospel. These guys put everyone worshipping the Lord God Jesus Christ in the same generalization of “Strange Fire” worship. They do Not believes that the Gifts found in 1 Corinthians 12-14 are in practice today, and ended at the “End of the Apostolic Age.” These Cessationist Reformed guys are as bad, or more, than who they talk against. Most Evil due to the fact they are Faith Robbers!
The Truth about Stephen Furtick and Elevation Church that these guys continue to attack. 1. Elevation Church is a member of the Southern Baptist Convention. 2. Stephen Furtick has a Master of Divinity Degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. 3. The real reason they oppose Stephen Furtick is that he believes that the Supernatural Gifts of the Holy Spirit, described in 1 Corinthians 12-14, and happening not just to the Clergy in the Book of Acts, rather to Congregation members are for today. This is their key point of disagreement! 4. That Elevation Christian Music is Contemporary Music, therefore it is ALL Strange Fire. 5. These Reformed Cessationists put Southern Baptist and ALL Calvary Chapels in the “Strange Fire” group when they do not agree with their insane, Unbiblical (TULIP Nonsense), ideas!
I love The late, Dr. Charles Stanley
I'm very grateful to God that I have a new church that I've been going to with my girlfriend for 4 weeks now, Grace Community is so amazing; I couldn't say enough good things about the service.
What a Wonderful, inspirational video to stick to the truth!!!🎉
God bless you Todd ,
Thank you for continuing to shine a light on the issues that can affect our walk with God.
God bless my church and my bible teaching pastor!
Amen
I am so glad that I go to Community Baptist Church in Maynardville, TN. I am so glad that my preacher preaches the truth. If he says something wrong in the flesh, he will apologize, but if the Lord gives it to him to say, then he won't.
That is awesome.
Thank you for your content! May God continue to bless this ministry!!
Steven Furtick preaching is watered down with the power of God and the music… I don’t go to Church and haven’t been a member of anyone’ s congregation. I have listened to his sermons and the music and it always encourages me to live for God and get rid of my hellish life… Speak for yourself…. This man is over qualified… and I am so grateful for his ministry… my marriage was restored and , I am getting through depression and getting closer to the Lord…
That is awesome, but unfortunately the self-righteous calvinists on this channel don't like any pastor that doesn't have the same attitude that they have, but I'll take Furtick, any day of the year, over these calvinist cult pastors.
Hallelujah! Whatever ministry is helping your life, that’s what matters.
What church are you talking about?
Blessed to be under great preaching! I asked the Pastor what his topic was for an upcoming service and he replied "I don't know yet, God hasn't told me".
I like that answer. It is a lot better than to say something like whatever I can come up with that will make everyone feel good or whatever will get people to give me money.
My father was a preacher for many, many years. He kept a small note taped to the part of the pulpit that only he could see: Not I, but Christ
I needed to hear this one more time. Thanks Todd
Greatest thumbnail ever. I love your sense of humour Wretched lol.
Quality video and most importantly, the message. Bless God.
I was once a member of Fellowship Church under Ed Young, for several years. While Ed was plenty entertaining, every sermon had a catchy "theme" (like what is shown in the video with the car). Also in their book stores, nearly every book and study guide was written by either he or his wife Lisa, which I found to be both incredible and incredibly disturbing. The main church was always packed, and I can only assume the satellite churches were as well. But more and more, his sermons started getting too cheesy for me. Too "jokey." Every week was a different theme, with alllll sorts of lingo, cliches, and hipster jargon; every week was something over the top, something better than last week. And the praise and worship was like going to a rock concert every week (not joking). It all became too much, and I had to stop attending. I don't doubt they have great faith. Their eldest daughter passed away just recently, and I know that was incredibly painful for them. I'm still looking for a great local church, but consider myself a "member" of the churches of JD Farag, Jack Hibbs, and John MacArthur, who are able to feed me the meat of the Bible, not just the milk.
Thanks Todd.
I miss the old Wretched format, of only seeing and hearing you, and not hearing clips and memes every few moments. Just me! I'll keep listening though, great content. :)
I appreciate your ministry and I agree with you about expository preaching
What will you do when the Law of God comes in terror; when the trumpet of the archangel shall tear you from your grave; when the eyes of God shall burn their way into your guilty soul; when the great books shall be opened and all your sin and shame shall be punished... can you stand against an angry Law in that Day?
This is a quote from Charles Spurgeon now asked yourself this question. When was the last time your pastor delivered a sermon? That had such a powerful life-changing message.
Well, if your like me, and many others, we will be raptured out, before that time. Already safe, in the arms of Jesus. We have our names, written in the book of life.

Just avoid TBN at all costs.
They care less about God and more about ratings

@@tracebillings6577 I thought that when i was a regular viewer, but it becomes apparent that it is a theological disaster when a person really studies and understand what the Bible. The difference is like night and day. A deceived person who seeks out teachers that affirm what they want to hear always think they're being blessed, but God says they are being led to destruction.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 Just because something doesn't bless you, doesn't mean it's bad. I'm sure there's things that don't bless other people in your own church that bless you.
@@tracebillings6577 That station doesn't serve Christ...it teaches heresies. May God give you eyes to see this. It is leading many to hell..
I really dislike when pastors use props.
Oh Todd I go to church you may know off: Providence! In Duluth GA! Its so refreshing they go by SOLA SCRITURA!
I guess I'm lucky in that I used to watch Joel Osteen and even bought his book but then as I read more and more scripture, I found the true gospel and was then truly saved and reborn a new man. Praise the Lord
Sadly, the times I hear expository teaching is when I'm watching pastors or teachers on youtube. They're not perfect, but they read the scripture, every verse and their sermons/teachings are typically an hour or longer. Our pastor at our church can barely preach for 30 minutes and usually has 3 or 4 verses he uses for his preaching/life application (face palm). I really enjoy listening to Skip Heitzig, Michael Pearl, Mark Driscoll, John Barnett, Paul Washer, Justin Peters, John McArthur, Mike Winger, Allen Parr, Frank Turek, Jeff Durbin, and even Melissa Dougherty and Alisa Childers.
That thumbnail lol
I wonder why this was removed and re-uploaded?
Watered - Down preaching could be applied in many ways to apostate preaching as well.
There are preachers and teachers set for different seasons of your life, I used to watch Joseph Prince's sermons when I was Newly born- again, His sermons REALLY made me understand the difference between old and new covenants and between "Law and Grace"; similarly Steven Furtick's sermons gave me the much needed courage and faith to get through one of tough phases of my life later on in my walk with Christ. I am not sure about other preachers because I hardly heard them (& for that, Lord's spirit helps you discern whether you need to hear them or not). So finally.., YOUR relationship with God is YOUR duty, not your pastor's...And may God bless pastor Joseph prince and Pastor Steven Furtick because their sermons did make a GODLY impact. I can't deny that.
Thank you for that comment. God uses many people in different ways, just like he did all throughout the Bible. People like Friel come off as pigeon-holed to viewing God’s workings in human lives strictly through their denomination, camp, etc. We are God’s army, body, with different functions, and need to work together and not shoot at our own😢
@God is good God's ways are higher than our ways. His standards are naturally higher than our standards. We too often as fallen people think as long as someone says nice things about Jesus then that person is qualified to pastor regardless of their faults. Yet, if you had a child and you took the child to Sunday school. If the Sunday school teacher put your child in a highly uncomfortable position, maybe humiliated your child. You wouldn't care if the Sunday School teacher has every degree imaginable from Yale, Harvard, Princeton or Stanford University. You would not care if the person could speak 9 different languages fluently. You would not care if that person could quote the whole book of Psalms by memory or if they have a doctorate in biblical studies. The Bible gives in 2 Timothy and in Titus biblical qualifications for a Pastor. Yet, today in post modern Sodom America we have people that lower the bar and make their own standards of what holiness and submission to God looks like or their standards is whatever their Pastor chooses to live or not live by. They may say Bible is the final authority, but too many professing Christians live as If the Pastor is the final authority even if the Pastor isn't following God as closely as they assume.
Are you kidding me, girl, prince, and furtick? lol?
@@maryncudo4526 well,, if the people of village of Samaria asked the same question as yours about the woman who preached them about Messiah, they perhaps wouldn't have been saved.
Love the thumbnail 😂
Didnt even have to photoshop Furtick's ears.
True lol
With regards to the closing statement of finding a church that does expository preaching, what if there isn't one anywhere close to where you live? In my case, there is none in my county as far as I know.
Why did this video get taken down before? I tried sharing it to some friends and they couldn't open it.
Right!! I tried to days ago
Coz the music was too loud and distracting.
There were a number of concerns about the loud background music so someone took it down quickly. It appears it was added to and the music gotten rid of on top of Todd's speaking. This version is 100% better.
Sitting under weak preaching makes the mind stay dry because truth is denied and like a shallow tide, faith's depth set aside.
Good stuff…
Another great video. Wretched is biblical, intelligent and witty. God Bless this ministry. Where can I get a transcript of this teaching please? Thank you.
Help us Jesus
This is why I go to a Bible Church: the focus is on God's word.

“Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, BOTH SHALL FALL INTO THE DITCH.”
(Matthew 15:14)
I have found it hard to find sound preaching in the past few years. I've heard from the book of conspiracies, the church of laughter, the church of casting out demons, the church of feel good, the church of prosperity the church of follow me, the church of empty words and the church of legalisms. I've called out several preachers in private, had one publicly repent.
As a believer who has sat under wise god led preachers a few times over the years I am having a hard time finding a church.
Amen we need true Preaching the Gospel
Good job ... expose those false christian preacher ...
"Superficial understanding of Scripture produces superficial worship." - John MacArthur
It's kinda obvious: not filling yourself with the Word of God leaves you open to other stuff, especially when the other stuff comes from the same place. I don't need to listen to John MacArthur to know not to listen to these people. They pretend (badly) to be part of the Church when they aren't, it's simple enough to not trust them to deliver the Word of God.
Facts.
It's not merely watered-down preaching. It's a false gospel that condemns
How do you know?
@@mattr.1887 Because it's not the gospel found in scripture. Their preaching doesn't condemn men as sinners or call them to repent
BEFORE THE VIDEO: the thumbnail is priceless! Literally. 3 Ferengis? You're talking all the money in the universe is in their vaults. So apropos.
i like wrteched radio :)
Any church recommendations in Houston, TX?!
I like it
Yesterday was pentecost sunday but it wasnt even mentioned
Really good video, I'm going to write these out and really review the preachers I'm watching.
Hi friends,
Can anyone in the NYC area recommend a great Bible based church? The ministry I’m with, while I love it, is online and based in California.
Sing it loud my loved ones.
Hymn at 4:26 please?🙂
Does that mean the contemporary worship music is un-Biblical? For this channel it seems so ... we'll just keep in mind that the hymnals AT THE TIME OF THEIR MAKING WERE CONTEMPORARY! In addition a deep, convicting Biblically-based preaching is not to be determined by whether or not the sermon is topical or expository. You can have a topical sermon and build it upon God's Word, you can have a preacher use expository method but implement isogesis on the text by superimposing HIS OWN interpretation onto the text. I've seen both. I just preached an expository message a few weeks ago and told the congregation that unfortunately it is a lost art, however, topical message is NOT automatically un-Biblical or shallow. The guy on this channel and John McArthur seem to have a huge problem with contemporary music without realizing that, as I mentioned earlier, any music WAS contemporary at one point.
Great video! I have only 1 disagreement! I know preachers who use both topical and expository styles and they preach sound doctrine so stating that people should only listen to expository preachers is not good and could bring division. For instance a person may be looking for a Church home and because they came across this video they may ask the Pastor if they are expository or topical! If the Pastor says topical they may not give that Church another thought all because of what was stated at the end of this video.
It's 100% just Todd being his usual "you have to do it exactly the way my particular denomination does it, but I'm not dogmatic since I'm a Protestant."
But with Protestants like him, who needs a Pope?
@Fred the 47th It's not the style such as topical or expository it's the substance of the content! To say that topical preaching is bad is to claim something that is not Biblical because the Bible doesn't make that claim and whenever someone does make those kinds of claims it's from their own experience and not from the Bible! We should stick to the Bible! And if the Bible doesn't say it then we shouldn't say it on platforms! Your experiences do not validate the Bible, the Bible validates your experiences
@Fred the 47th You're thinking wrong because I do know! To me, it is a style and the Bible does not instruct us in any particular style or if you want me to call it a manner of preaching or teaching I can do that for you but the bottom line is this: We shouldn't add our own preferences to Paul's instructions.
@Fred the 47th Topical preaching only I think it is more like eating pop tarts two or three times a day and no meat, fish, fruit or vegetables or very little of it.
Somehow CZcams thought I’d enjoy this video so it presented it to me. I took the click bait and watched it.
Here’s the way these “Biblical Teachers” taught me the Gospel…
“For God so hated the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that if anyone would want to escape eternal suffering, they need to repent and stop sinning and then you will escape The Father’s wrath. For the Son was not sent into the world to change our minds about God, but rather to change God’s mind about us. So now that Jesus has taken the punishment for us, God can now finally love us, and forgive us. If you don’t repent though He hates you. If you do, it’s because He granted you repentance and now somehow, He loves you.”
Isn’t that good news?!
The Lord have mercy on you sir. I pray you learn to love your enemies and bless them. Radical isn’t it? Kind of hard though when the view of someone’s God is such that He Himself wouldn’t even do what He asks us to do. If our theology is such that He doesn’t love His enemies, why would we? We give lip service to that text, conduct expository preaching sermons on it, and then never bother to live it.
God Help us! I thank God that He is not like us… He’s holy (totally different)!
Do you follow this person everywhere he goes? What gives you the right to say he doesn't love his enemies or doesn't love those who dislike him? Jesus wasn't only about healing people, doing miracles, and telling people messages in parables. He also chased out with cords money changers in the temple. He called, religious leaders snakes, white washed tombs. He ate with sinners, but He didn't participate in whatever sin they are guilty of. He didn't just walk around giving religious leaders hugs. He gave a sharp rebuke in front of Peter when Peter refused that Jesus would go and be handed over to be delivered to die. Love your enemies, doesn't mean you lower God's moral standard till the God haters like you. It doesn't mean you add sex jokes, fat jokes, fart jokes to the way you live in order to be accepted. It doesn't mean you are to never bring up God, holiness, sin, judgement of God or death. It doesn't mean if someone tells you to follow some preacher who is a blatant false teacher who doesn't believe in the Bible or only believes in some of it yet is considered to be a Christian by others. It doesn't mean if you know that is true by that person that you are supposed to just keep silent say nothing.
Does sitting in churches hiding pedophiles, do the same thing. Should a pastor who trashes prosperity gospel preachers, have multiple half million dollar homes. It blows my mind, that i don't know one human who has, or needs four.
Hello please help me my mom suffering kidney disease and I face poverty and unemployment please feel my pain due to lack of money I am not getting treatment for my mother please have mercy on me please 🙏
Expose Sin and it is what reaches people
Wretched Radio should create a list of Good Churches in America
Just read a book that made this distinction… a pastor is to be a teacher, not a public speaker. If we remember the “cutesy” stories that the minister told, more than the teaching of the Word…that’s really sad.
1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Thank you Jesus for holding me accountable and convicting me of my transgressions.
Exactly, there’s a difference between sins and sinneth. I’ve been saved for over 30 years and sinned only once or twice since then.
= E A ART I SEE CLEAR!!
Why is the ministry called wretched?
From the very first when Joel olsteen came on the scene,I was amazed that there were so many gullible people in the world.He makes my skin crawl.
People got use to having someone say stuff that makes them feel good. Eating sweets feels good at first, but eventually leads to upset stomach if keep devouring sweets one after another. Hearing over and over God loves you feels nice, but what happens when one doesn't respond to God appropriately to do what God is telling them. Doesn't respond appropriately to God telling them something they said to someone else was wrong or something that they did was wrong and they need to fix it. Wait a minute, God loves me. He could never be displeased with words or an action from me. People can think that, but there is no Bible verse to prove it. Telling yourself a million times God loves you isn't going to erase God from dealing with your heart or displining you if He chooses.
Great presentation.
John MacArthur and Paul Washer. Are they an example of the good ones or are they on here because they are ear ticklers as well? I never thought they were. Am I missing something?
Paul Washer is a heretic who just goes after other people he thinks are heretical. He is legalistic and a fundementalist. I'm not sure about McArthur, though.
If it weren’t for wretched radio, Paul washer, Costi hinn, and Justin Peters, I wouldn’t know the difference in watered down and not and I’m 49. Wish I would have studied the Bible when I was younger and had a brain. Now that I want to learn and pray for discernment, I cannot understand what I read because I can’t remember things , don’t know the context, don’t know when it’s literal or not, etc. and yes I have many good study bibles. I guess I ruined my brain when I was younger. Now I have to use CZcams preaching to help me understand and it’s usually from a Calvary Chapel in Clayton NC or very few other people I trust
i have watched your videos sir and it seems to me that you are more of an adventist. Have you studied the doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist?
I can see this. It's frightening how easily I see it to be honest. Maybe it's why I spend to much time trying to listen to __________ (fill in the blank with a lot of different names like MacArthur, McGee, Missler, Rosebrough and so forth). To try and keep myself going and learning.
And I hope that's not taken as a brag or something. It's me trying to keep treading water most of the time. 🙄 😕

Just did some major exposing.
Watered-down Christianity has taken Churches and turned them into concerts and motivational speeches. It seems like the gospel, true biblical bible instruction is a rarity nowadays in America. Thank the Lord for pastors who are standing for what is right and good for the sake of the Gospel.
*Side note. Todd, you might holler at your production crew, they might want to set their camera on "clear scan," make an adjustment and there won't be any flickering in the monitor. Just some food for thought. God Bless. :)
People are watering down preaching because they don’t want their congregation to think that God is a mean, rotten, insecure, all powerful being that can do what he wants to you if you don’t follow him to the T
I’ve never heard of anybody call John MacArthur a false teacher. He’s far from perfect just like any other human being, but I think if there’s any well-known preacher with soundness and integrity, it’s him. And being from California helps a lot; his preaching isn’t all that hokey Bible-belt crap.
John MacArthur is a false teacher. He teaches that God is a trinity. This goes against Jesus's clear teaching and contradicts the Bible.
@@vaughnmadsen7966 you know what? Every preacher is called a false teacher to some degree by some denomination or doctrine that doesn’t agree with them. And you know what else? We don’t even know for sure there’s an afterlife. Chances are, every single one of us is going to have the same fate when we die. Back to non-existence before we were born.
@jondstewart the gospel message is foolishness to those that are perishing. First thing we must be able to see is there is a God who has created the life we are experiencing. Second thing we must see is that Jesus is God's appointed Messiah.......mediator between God and man kind. Third is that when Jesus returns he will give eternal life to those who have obeyed his commands.
But sadly most people are blinded from these truths
@@vaughnmadsen7966 I am assuming you are oneness Pentecostal. Penecostal’s or at least the traditional ones don’t believe in the trinity and they also believe you have to work your way to heaven. If redemption was based on what we do instead of what Jesus did for us on the cross, then every day we’d be lost and saved, lost and saved, lost and saved, we’d be so upset and confused and not know what to do. We’re going to sin and make mistakes as believers. You’re not sinless, just sin less.
@jondstewart then Jesus himself is wrong because he repeatedly said those who obey him will be saved. Sadly most people follow the false teachers saying just accept the free gift rather than finding out what Jesus clearly taught in the Bible
what about topical preaching that is still aligned with the word of God? a lot of the videos in this channel ARE topical and NOT expository. the problem with expository preaching is we think we know about the bible but when it comes to actual living, we don’t really know how to go about doing it right. i’ve been in churches where preaching is topical and i’ve been to churches where preaching is expository & also openly goes against false teachers like how Wretched does it. but the fact is i sinned WAY less and was much godlier and holier in my life when i was under topical preaching. we DO need guidance on how to go about in life the godly way.
CZcams does not like Channels that advertise sound preaching, so they had me unsubscribe from your channel. And that is not the first time CZcams has done this, but I guess we all know that. Keep up the great work and God bless!
Didn't you post this video a couple weeks ago?
There were a number of concerns about the loud background music so someone took it down quickly. It appears it was added to and the music gotten rid of on top of Todd's speaking. This version is 100% better.
Nothing like old fashioned Hell Fire and Brimstone preaching to burn away sin.
John 6:47
Where can I purchase some EARS like those? I need to donate to a few Christians out there.
Not all of the Church of God denomination is like this, but too many are starting to flirt with prosperity preaching, so I left that denomination. Plus too many said if you have a nueromuscular disease it must be a sin or lack of faith when they palm smash your forehead and nothing happens. We went from chasing the spirit to chasing a fleeting emotion.
Much of professing Christiandom seems to seek for feel good experiences, to want to be like Jesus and do things He did, but don't want to submit like Jesus, serve like Jesus, pray like Jesus, and value the Word of God like Jesus does and always will. They want Burger King Jesus. They want Jesus their way. They want Burger King Church. They want everything done there, how they think it should be done. Their feelings, what they think and what sounds good to them means more to a lot of people I think in the church than what the Bible says.
@Gino Jennings is the best teacher of the bible!!
Sitting under preachers, teaching false doctrine, is also dangerous. Example: preacher saying God determines everything including sin
I don't understand what you are getting at. God does determine what is sin. He is Holy. He created mankind. He knows what holiness in action looks like. He knows what sin does and what it can do with our relationship to God , our relationship with others and how sin if not repented of and built up one after another how much it can hurt a person's testimony. I think that should make God more than qualified to inform people on what is sin.
Preaching / proclaiming loudly is in the context of outreach. Biblical examples is for sheparding in my opinion.
