I was brought up where I was made to attend a church like that when I was young and now I detest that way of preaching and will not put up with it, now that I don’t have to. That kind of preaching is spewing fear. As an adult I met a pastor that was calm and quiet and preached that grace and love of the Lord. We became fast friends up until his death back in the mid seventies.

Those laid back soft spoken preachers who put their congregation to sleep, you can have them.

I'll take the shout it from the rafters, raising hands to God in glory, shouting out his name.

Spewing fear? Preaching the Gospel so all can hear his word, even those in the back pews.

Not sure that the feel-good stuff, exclusively, is the most valuable kind of ministry. Certainly has its place at times.
