Maybe I have been reading too much into some of these responses, but they always seem like the pastor is going out of his way to mention something that is festering in the congregation. Couldn't all of that be addressed with a sermon that includes "and such were some of you?" Or is that not putting down the hammer hard enough?

Honestly, I've only seen a pastor rebuke openly like this over playing cards. lol
Apparently some new family really enjoyed card games and had a cook out and invited some church saints. They all played cards, and the church saints really enjoyed it and they began playing with other saints. Before you knew it... the whole congregation was Straight Flush, and the pastor had to call the Devil's bluff. lol
