Now look, folks, obviously there's a time and place for everything, right?
There's times when we have to preach sensational sermons against certain topics, against certain
people, call out names, and then it's going to be an exciting sermon.
And other times when we're just teaching doctrine, where you're just going to have to discipline
yourself to be ready to hear, to listen, and to apply that which is being taught.
We need both.
So let's talk about the wrong type of sensationalism.
Number one, sensationalism is wrong, and we already mentioned it, when it's coupled with
inaccuracy.
This is the individual that's simply putting on a show.
We're talking about preaching here, okay?
Their presentation, so to speak, you know, they got a lot of bells and whistles, but
not a whole lot of gas in the tank, okay?
It's very shallow.
This preaching has a lot of yelling and a lot of screaming, but very little Bible content.
And this is exactly what Hannah and I is doing, because he's saying, thus saith the Lord,
when the Lord hath not spoken to him.
And look folks, there's pastors that get up all the time, they get up all the time
and they preach weird sermons, and guess what?
They're lying, whether they know it or not, okay?
They get up and they preach the flat earth, you're a liar.
You are a liar.
You are inaccurate.
And you can slobber and do this show and foam out the mouth all you want.
You can yell, kick, and scream, but the information is inaccurate.
You need to have both, okay?
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians, go to James chapter 3 if you will, James chapter 3, 2
Corinthians chapter 4 verse 1 says, Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received
mercy, we faint not, but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in
craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth, commending
ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
The Apostle Paul is saying, hey, when we preach, we're going to preach with accuracy.
Now look folks, this is not to say that pastors can't make mistakes.
Obviously we make mistakes.
We're human, we're sinners, we're not infallible people.
We're going to make mistakes.
But hold on a second, when you make just severe doctrinal mistakes about salvation, severe
doctrinal mistakes about things that are just common sense, severe doctrinal mistakes in
regards to the word of God, the King James Bible, you know, that raises a question.
You probably shouldn't be a pastor.
And look, and if you're sensational and you're preaching inaccurately, that probably shows
that you're being a pastor for the wrong reason.
