We may be of a different generation but one such preacher who I recall quite well even now was Oliver B. Green of The Gospel Hour. I went to one of his tent revivals back in the early 60s and you could feel the flames of hell as he vividly described the place where unrepentant sinners would suffer for all eternity. Green studied at Bob Jones University, a Bible-based, very Conservative school in Greenville, SC, which gave him credibility to my way of thinking.
Although I'm a member of the somewhat more staid church of Christ, I do miss that old time style of preaching and passion for the Gospel. There was no pussyfooting around when it came to what hell and God's Heaven were all about.
The Good Book is still Good.
Oliver Green was one of the preachers I heard some of via radio when I was young and played on air when I worked in religious broadcasting.
Green’s radio preaching was clear and solid.
Another good preacher-teacher I remember was J. Vernon McGee and his “Thru the Bible” series.
The Bible tells it like it is, the problem for me was reading and making it fit my selfish thoughts with selective quotation.
I’ve hated the atheists and liberal church people and the more conservative religious people too in my lifetime for petty reasons related to being a drunk.
I was the greatest of hypocrites, but just because other folk who use the Lord’s name are, doesn’t give me a license to be critical.
In the Good Book its laid out clearly ‘do as the religious leaders say, not as they do’.
