Preachers take a lot of heat.
We hear the stories like the one where a particular Sunday was so cold that only one old rancher showed up. The sad truth is much of what we hear is true. There is a reason for that. Far too often, preaching is simply a pastor reading a biblical text and then shouting for a while about his own personal opinions, likes and dislikes and general view of the world. Thrown in will be the usual admonishments to be good people, love each other, give money, and win the lost.
