People talk about everything under the sun and everyone under the sun and never mention Jesus or His Word. People mock and ridicule Pentecostal churches and Pentecostal worship when they themselves have never set foot in a Pentecostal church. People make ignorant remarks about the dangers of the Internet when in fact they have never been on the Internet and wouldn't have a clue how to get on the Internet. A fellow minister chooses to address me informally but formally refers to himself. The only exception to this rule is when the other minister is my senior by twenty years or more.
People jump up and stand at the first chord of every special song.
It used to mean something when a song being sung by a choir brought the congregation to their feet in worship. When everything is emphasized, nothing is emphasized. A camp or conference speaker is late to the floor because everyone who got up before them felt a need to ramble on for ten minutes or more. Speakers take a Scripture text and then go on to ignore that text for the balance of their message. Some can preach an hour and not include one biblical concept.
