 The Bible teaches that bold preaching is Bible preaching. Jesus was compared to two men in his own preaching style. You know who they were? John the Baptist and Elias. We need to get away from this sissy lecturing. By the way, if you like to go to church to hear some cute little pastor in his adorable little skinny jeans and his turtleneck get up and tell you a little sermonette from a pulpitette, friend, you're a part of the problem in America.
