Compare to someone like Charles Stanley where he does rebuke, but does it on a much caring, concerned level than the other. Where I would be more prone to do it Charles Stanley way than the other. I just felt controlled and not good enought when I heard that message on Sunday.

1. You need to spend enough time with God to where you can maintain a relationship with him but not so much time with him that you are smothered and won't do anything but spend time with him.
2. You need to read the bible enough to get a spiritual perspective on life but not so much that you don't have time left for life and the good things of it. The bible was never intended to be our life but it was intended to be a gift from God that can supplement our life.
3. Preachers are people and we often put them on pedastels to our own detriment. They sometimes make mistakes. They sometimes don't get a message quite right. Some are more prone to this than others. I'll even agree from my experience that the preacher probably didn't get it quite right in that message you are referring to. But what does it change that he didn't get 1 message quite right? And if it's many more than 1 message then what are you going to do, because in that case that really is the only question worth asking?
