I honestly can't believe I am having to explain this to you of all those here. Why are you answering questions with questions?

I don't read anywhere in the bible where God has a "Hold" button for his saints to use when they get weary of listening.
BTW the "message" is not every scripture in the bible that is on that subject he is preaching on......if that were the case you'd have to take everyone out in a casket before he finishes reading and expouding on every verse. The MESSAGE is the point that needs to be made...a preacher can make that point over and over using several different angles and verses or he can just get it done in one point....you ever hear an interpretation of tongues go on for 2 hours? I never have....even God is brief!

I usually get the point in the first 10-20 minutes. After that it's just someone filling in the time because they fear someone complaining about paying tithes for a 15 min sermon
