Please feel free to throw stones at sinners, at least rhetorically.

Our liberal mainstream churches, and even squishy evangelicals, dare not condemn sin from the pulpit. Kids grow up with the sense that adults in the church don’t take the consequences of sin seriously.

Why is sin not mentioned?

Church leaders are deathly afraid that someone in the audience might get offended, not come back, and collection income would drop.

As a former elder in one of those “evangelical” churches I would say that you hit the nail on the head...”and collection income would drop”. When we brought in the new pastor I noticed a change in the topics on Sunday morning. Attendance grew a little...many new people but several of the original members left...but giving increased. In discussions with the pastor I could see that the church was going the way of “increase the numbers at any cost” and after discussions with the other elders felt that my best option was to resign as an elder and member of the church. This church as well as many others are really only social clubs now...

It is a two-part problem:
parents who are participants in the ruination of their children's morality (not only giving their children alcohol - which I thought was just awful, then came drugs, later allowing their children to have "sleep-overs" with the opposite sex);
and the so-called pastors who care more about their own comfort and wealth, congregational numbers than the morality of their charge (yes charge, the Lord expects more of the pastors than of their congregations and I wouldn't want to be in their shoes on judgement day.)
