However, folks in Pentecost prefer to be pummeled by their preachers. Odds are he'll be back.

... just commenting on the masochistic nature of some in Pentecostal culture when it comes to what is considered GOOD PREACHING... IMO.

Just as there are some who will not go to the altar unless they've be "convicted"/whalloped/manhandled by the preacher.

This is part of a discussion we had today in the BOTT thread ...

Do you think our church culture has affected what we consider good preaching? What kind of preaching do you prefer?

Is there any truth to any of the statements made above?

What do you like about their preaching, Easty? Why must it be loud?

LOL! Well, it don't have to be loud for me to like it, but I just feel like when preachers are loud, they have thier heart into it, thats all. Just to clarify, I don't really like it when a preacher screams a sermon, you don't have to scream to be loud.

For me, just anointed!

I will tell you I dont like being bullied into the alter.

I dont mind straight talk that deals with real issues.
I dont mind hearing about the love of God either.


I dont like junk that is all sound and no substance.

Good point. Me too.

My personal style is closer to a Stoneking.

But when listening, for me substance will ALWAYS trump style.

[DividedThigh]

annointed, passionate, scriptural, and heart felt, that will do it, dt

A little bit of both... tough when it needs to be, soft when it needs to be.

One style does not fit all messages.

Too much of either is out of balance.
