How do you like your holiness preaching?

The other parody of a thread made me think of this subject since I think it really cuts to the matter.

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 the last 3. And the number 1 would not offend me.

None of the above. I think it should be lived and questions answered as they're asked.

I think the *idea* behind holiness and striving to please God and how to study the Bible and pray should be taught. Then watch what God does. Isn't that more fun than trying to do His work for Him anyhow?

I voted for number 4 myself, but that is also for the sake of assuming a faulty premise.

I wish I would have put a 5th option in: 5) We don't need it preached OR taught. Maybe an admin could add it?

All our preaching is holy-ness preaching...and there ain't none of it about what us OP's called Standards.

So to answer your question...I love holy-ness preaching.

I like holiness preaching to emphasize the importance inward holiness, Fruit of the Spirit , and New Testament principles that is reflected in the way we treat one another and our modest lifestyle.

I think we should get together about 3-4 times a week and told how horrible and worthless we are, and how we deserve to burn in hell, and everyone we know also... that's how I know I am really loved by God.
