Michael, you may be new here but that is clearly "making it personal" and "mind reading," as the RM will tell it if he sees it.
While I agree that the church is invisible to the extent that no one knows who it’s members are by looking at them, the church has to be visible so you can know where to get your questions answered, from someone with AUTHORITY, not some backwoods self ordained “preacher” who is so poorly trained in hermeneutics he can’t preach his way out of a paper bag. That’s what I grew up with.
As one raised RC, i can honestly say that if any preachers can’t preach their way out of a paper bag its your typical priests. That’s what I grew up with and mostly heard during my years as a weekly mass goer after i came back for 6 years. But by far the best and convicting and moving preachers i have heard were evangelical.
For couple good examples, watch/listen to Paul Washer (Reformed) here , "How Much Do You Know God?"
And for a Pentecostal watch B. H. Clendennen, "soldiers" here
Its not Joel Osteen.
And while training in hermeneutics has its place, its anointing, not academia that is most critical. After all, the church began with souls mainly following unlettered itinerant preachers.
The first of which wore funny clothes and ate BUGS!!!
