BEattitude: "Most SERMONS are woefully inadequate for these times we live in.
It's not that they're being preached by those with hardened hearts or even that most are preached as a prerequisite to the purchase of a companion series that serves to create a cash flow for what should be a service freely given for all the reasons that are undoubtedly outlined in the sermon.
No, what I object to most is that many don't even attempt to BE relevant, but enjoy being mired in obscure texts that are esoteric at best and theoretic at worst and have nothing to do with the tasks undertaken by anyone living and breathing and dealing with the challenges that are truly being faced on a daily basis.
If one is called to Preach or Teach.., BE CERTAIN of that Call.
It's a simple request, but one of which I believe isn't being required often enough, and certainly not asked by the individual of themselves before embarking on the journey to change lives and hearts."
