What's Wrong With Today's Preachers?

Folks...this one is amazing. It never ceases to amaze me how people can rant and rave about things that have nothing to do with the context of the Scripture they are supposed to be expounding. I just preached at the church I attend (Victory Baptist) about how context is so important...and eisegesis (reading your own meaning into a text) is so dangerous. As many of you know, I'm a recovering Fundamental Baptist...now a Reformed Baptist. No matter which camp you come from, please let the Word speak for itself! God's given us His very Word and we need to listen...but if you are so hooked on a few issues such as whether a woman should wear pants, a man should/shouldn't wear shorts, if someone goes to the movies or not and which Bible version you read then you are missing the boat. It's important to be modest...it's important to understand which text underlies your Bible...but if that's the steady diet you are giving (or getting) then it's no wonder Fundamental churches are on a steady decline and are losing ground to reformed churches.

Listen to this clip to hear a real "Man of God"...just listen to how he figures out who is a man and who isn't. Truly amazing!
