Ira North had it right when he begged for balanced preaching. Sometimes we have to be firm and stand against error but we must also seek to display the love, grace and compassion we find in Jesus.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3507820238396505743/2840085602911763773/comments/default/7226232298620695591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3507820238396505743/2840085602911763773/comments/default/7226232298620695591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtothebible.blogspot.com/2009/05/hard-preaching.html?showComment=1242939383136#c7226232298620695591' title=''/><author><name>Bryant</name><uri>http://blog.escoc.net</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://backtothebible.blogspot.com/2009/05/hard-preaching.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507820238396505743.post-2840085602911763773' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3507820238396505743/posts/default/2840085602911763773' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507820238396505743.post-9059455601277596151</id><published>2009-05-11T00:05:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T00:05:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I am 100% with you.

I think hard preaching has a certain appeal to a specific audience...one that is used to being abused and controlled.  Everyone else sees the wierdness and runs...or should run.  There is so much better out there if one will only look for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish preachers could read this.  I have an easy (opposite of hard?) minister and love to hear the word spoken from him.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3507820238396505743/2840085602911763773/comments/default/9059455601277596151'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3507820238396505743/2840085602911763773/comments/default/9059455601277596151'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://backtothebible.blogspot.com/2009/05/hard-preaching.html?showComment=1242018300000#c9059455601277596151' title=''/><author><name>Dusty Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14038006740293111352</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00128972839445505923'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://backtothebible.blogspot.com/2009/05/hard-preaching.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507820238396505743.post-2840085602911763773' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3507820238396505743/posts/default/2840085602911763773' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507820238396505743.post-9057942369320855812</id><published>2009-05-05T09:55:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-05T09:55:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank you so much for this excellent post.

We all have the responsibility to be ready to hear the Word, but the preacher also must be Christ-like in delivering the message. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post should be widely read and taken to heart.
