Just Listened to JA Preach first night of TN Campmeeting....Disappointing....

[tv1a]

Red herring jm. Kids and adults are exposed to worse things than JA on the internet, at school, at home, in the park, in the restaruant, etc. People don't come to church to see fake and phoney preachers give 3 points and a poem.

I would rather hear a JA message with a little rough language that people can relate to (and many do) than a Urshan Graduate School of Theology message that leave people scratching their heads and wonder where was the relevance. Can't save anyone passing around papers and giving dissertations why Divine Flesh is or is not a damnable heresy. But someone can get saved by hearing a message about the grace of God. I don't know of many preacher who can express the heartbeat of God as much as JA.

It does seem like he preaches the same sermon often. Maybe he does it because people are a little slow to applying the princples he preaches about during his sermons.

IMO, he preaches as if his listeners are incapable of understanding and/or receiving his Heavenly manna. But it's late and I'm sure my personal observations are all wrong. God's blessings to you my Brother.

I wish you could cite some examples. Your observations are different. That doesn't mean they are wrong. It could be a personal preference. Blessing to you as well...
