The news has been filled with recorded words that were spoken over a pulpit recently. It involves a presidential candidate, but what I will say has nothing to do with the campaign or political beliefs.
Hearing these unbelievable statements peppered with cursing and knowing that they were spoken by someone that people consider to be a spokesman from God in their life has sickened me. I could never fathom speaking in this manner in a regular conversation, much less from behind the holy desk. What is said while preaching is sacred to me and I believe it is sacred to God. To use God as a prop for my own agenda is profane.
May our pulpits remain reserved for the true Word of God spoken to bring change to a sin-sick soul. May they be filled by called men of God who have spent time in prayer, seeking the face of the Almighty. I don't believe it has to be dull, mundane and formal; but it does need to be anointed from on High!

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!!!
I agree!
I agree with you 100%. It really upsets me when people are justifying this message of hate claiming this is Black Liberation Theology or it is Afro-Centric. In my opinion, those are just titles to justify the vile words spoken. Kind of like the polygamists justifying having sex with a minor. Regardless of how they try to say it is "right," they are in fact very wrong.
Amen! You preach it brother-in-law!
To say that this is 'normal' behavior for any group in America is false.
I agree completely.
Amen, Bro. Gene! These are my exact thoughts!!
Bro. Holley, I concur! Great post!
