I see the opposite happening for many in the Apostolic ranks in our day and time. We seem have more "fluff" messages than ever. For many, if the church didn't shout the house down, they didn't have church.
I do understand there must be balance.

Balance is key.
When I read (and I read a lot) I weigh everything I read against the Word of God -- my understanding and knowledge of it -- which I feel holds me in real good stead.
So I read some things and I think........ "Wow, this is good!" Then I read other things and I think ... "This is not what the Word teaches!" and dismiss it immediately.
When you have a good solid foundation of understanding and knowledge of the Word you immediately recognize error when you hear it or read it.
