Teaching on personal evangelism and spiritual gifts is underdone.
And I dare say that the mere fact that many of those conservatives frown upon interracial marriages tells me they are not in tune with the Spirit of God as much as they might think they are.

Just a note of thought...
I personally believe that teaching on standards is underdone. Here is my reason of thought
Too many these days just get up and banter about do it this way or hit the highway. I don't believe that at all. If you were to ask those types of people to teach a bible study on WHY they preach the things (such as standards) they do, they more than likely will not be able to do so. Whereas they may be an hour preacher, they may not be able to teach standards more than 15 mins.
That is my opinion. I teach standards. I try to be as balanced as I can and I don't teach things just because my friends do so or my pastor does so.
More later....
