Hard to add to that post! I think most of the time preachers find themselves without a message so they pull out the, "let's tear them up and cast to hell" message. Sure packs them in!

What boggles my mind is the people who look forward to those sermons, sit through them, cry their eyes out at the altar, then all go out to eat together and then repeat the entire cycle at the next service.... I think that some people just get a "lift" from being ripped to emotional shreds and then are able to sing kumbaya about it together when it is all over.

They did this to us in boot camp also, but thankfully it was only once in an eight week period.

There is a bit of a sadomasochistic tendency there methinks.

Is this about STANDARDS preaching or "holiness" as in the heart belonging to the Lord?

[RandyWayne]

Well, as I originally intended to ask the question, it is about "standard" preaching -but in nearly every case "holiness" and "standards" is used interchangeably.

Many pages were spent disussing a song about how "wrong" it was to for our girls to have bobbed hair. Apart from the fact that I don't even agree with the premise, lets assume that the basic concept is sound. And not just about hair, but about make up and pants and yada yada yada....

Since MOST agreed that it was not the best thing to put to song, I am assuming that there would be more varied opinions when talked about from behind the pulpit. If you DO like it preached hot and heavy, then why? If your already following the "rules", why do you like to keep hearing it? If I could put a poll within a poll and you answered 1 or 2, I would then ask: 1) Does it make you feel more saved since your already following the rules? 2) Do you feel good about the person a few pews down squirming? 3) Do you think it wins souls?

How do you like, or prefer, to hear holiness preached or teached?

I like it preached truthfully and not all dressed up if you get my drift.

It is sad that "holiness" became synonymous with what we wear. But that's the way it is amongst some circles.
