"If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew." Billy Graham
Of particular note, potty language - even mild - is not tolerable here, nor is the practice of reading the other poster's mind (though it is fine to attribute motive to the author).
This thread is especially toxic so personal attacks, even mild ones, are not tolerable here.
Argue the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
"The Bible teaches that those who choose to remain separated from God will spend eternity in a place called hell." Billy Graham

Sure a plenty true statement!
I think pulpits will continue down 2 roads . . . some more of accommodation and appeasement with the world, the flesh and the devil . . . and the other more in love with God; people and God's Truth fiercely presented.
