How about a systematic teaching that has some real goals of discipleship, where after a few years the pew actually matures into full grown image of Jesus. This rant and raving raises the emotions but afterward leaves the hearers worse off than before.
To listen to this kind of preaching that I guess was directed at the ministry, you would think they were a bunch of heathen and reprobates!

This is what baffles me...how can anyone be thinking "we need to hear this kind of stuff every now and then" without being ashamed about the condition that is being dealt with...
....it just paints a superficial picture for me....where is the depth? where is the systematic teachings you speak of? instead, the ministry receives a tongue-lashing for the state-of-the-union (I am not questioning the necessity of the message...evidently, it was needed. Rather, I'm questioning the maturity of the group that had to hear this elementary teaching after 60 years)....this is an embarrassing and shameful condition.
