How similar it is to the insatiable desire of some Supreme Court justices who legislate from the bench in lieu of strictly interpreting the constitution. The latter is detrimental to a nation, the former denigrates God, His Word, and leads a multitude of souls astray.Michael Lawmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919034430085510082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-75638324354330454972011-05-28T11:37:12.890-07:002011-05-28T11:37:12.890-07:00HaHa!

This remark is necessary, especially to those gentlemen who mistake highflying sentences for eloquence, and latinized utterances for great depth of thought. Certain homiletical instructors, by their example, if not by their precepts, encourage rhodomontade and great swelling words, and, therefore, are most perilous to young preachers."<br /><br />If a preacher spoke like this today, he'd be accused of exactly what CHS is warning against, here!
