We don't enjoy having our own irresponsible choices or sins spoken of by Pastors, etc.
I think it would do plenty of Christians well to understand what John the Baptist said... "I must become less, so that He becomes more.". OR what about dying daily to the flesh? Too many people make it about themselves. It isn't about the self. The first thing people will do when you tell the truth is attack you as a human being. Stand firm that it isn't about you. You are not important. What is important is The Word of God, and that is where you find the faith. 1

I don't enjoy sermons in the least. It really does bother me to watch even the most skillful manipulation of people's emotions through hypnotic technique, when I realize what damage it does to society. A good lecture is different, whether scientific or philosophical, or just for learning something new. Speeches can vary considerably. Have you ever noticed that something very common in sermons is projection? A significant number of evangelists have made it into a business model: I know what you do, because I was the worst... It always amazes me how many were the worst. 1

You know what I do? Yeh, people like me have the nerve to speak out against inhumanity! We have the nerve to defend Special need's children and their right to life. HOW DARE WE SPEAK OUT! People like you defend the inhumanity of No Restriction abortions. If you do not see the constant sermons from the Left when it comes to their political correct humanism, you are totally blind! I would suggest you are still the worst.... your sermons have simply changed to preaching political correct sermons against our most innocent, and their right to life. You keep prattling on as if it's the only thing you know...even though I've taken you to task multiple times. Not only do I not vote democratic, I have a very specific stance of restriction on abortion - third trimester, or about that time when a fetus can reasonably be defined as a being on its own right - based on viability. I don't preach sermons. Oh, and I've defended all people's right to life...and quality of life...I speak out against war, and for social programs that help those less fortunate - something the right has regularly opposed me on. 1
