Have you ever preached “the Gospel according to you?” You know—the words that flew out of your mouth trying to convert someone to your way of seeing things.
Preaching is a form of rage when the one doing so is trying to hammer their point of view, interpretation, morality, or values into those who are not asking for them. The preacher feels it is their duty, right or obligation to get these across whether we have asked for a sermon or not.
Again, don’t get me wrong, if you attend a house of worship you are expecting preaching; but our wives, children, aging parents, girlfriend/boyfriends or employees didn’t sign on to be members of our congregation in “The Church of I’m Right & You’re Wrong.”
Question: Do you know anyone who "preaches at you" when they say they are just trying to "share"?
In Lesson 11 You will see how "Teaching" can be a soft form of rage.
