So all this criticism of what happened at NAYC blows my mind. It shouldn't because, well, this is AFF, but I'm still surprised when this happens.
"The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
You try doing that, sitting there whispering your little prayers.

Thanks for the scripture, which garners FAITH.
What was on your mind, in your hour of need, while sitting or kneeling? Was this what you were thinking about?
"With a little study, I found out that there is something about the human voice, that when it shouts it shreds the air."
Notice the focus is horizontal - "
the human voice".
Everything else he said was scriptural and correct. This little element raises a red flag in my mind. It promotes sensationalism. Sensationalism is not intellectually honest.
The focus of this thread is not on the merits of NAYC. It is about this one statement that doesn't sound well at all.
Would you use this in a lesson? Would you teach this to your children? I wouldn't go near it with a ten foot pole.
