The words of the Bible, and the Bible alone, should be heard from the pulpit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In the pulpit, we're supposed to present the teaching with all of its unvarnished clarity, but when you step out of the pulpit, you have to meet people where they are and try to walk with them.
The Bible sits on the pulpit of hundreds of different religious sects.
Preachers in pulpits talked about what a great message is in the book. No matter what you do, somebody always imputes meaning into your books.
I am no theologian. I am a layman. I am among those who are preached to, and who listen. It is not for me to preach. I should not willingly forego being a listener, a man who reads the Gospels and then listens to what others say that our Lord meant. But sometimes a listener speaks out, and listens to his own voice.
If I started preaching politics from the pulpit, our church would empty overnight. That's not why people come to church. They want to hear the word of God being proclaimed, not the word of Robert Jeffress.
If I do not return to the pulpit this weekend, millions of people will go to hell.
It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.
It is to be deeply regretted that the clergymen would oppose an effort to teach the people the Bible truths; nevertheless, we find much opposition everywhere, and many clergymen will attempt to prevent the people from reading what is here written.
If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.
I take it for granted that you do not wish to hear an echo from the pulpit nor from the theological class-room.
