CLOWNS IN THE PULPIT !!



THE  MAN  IN  THE  PULPIT  SHOULD  BE  DRESSED  AS  A  CLOWN,
BECAUSE  THE  SERMONS  NOW  PREACHED  HAVE  BEEN  WATERED  DOWN.
THEY  DONT  PREACH  ON  SIN, NOR  ON  THE  FIERCE  MIGHTY  WRATH  THAT  IS  SOON
TO  BEGIN.
BUT  IT  HAS  ALL  BEEN  FORETOLD  IN  YEARS  NOW  PASSED  BY,
THE  PROPHETS  GAVE  WARNINGS  TO  BOTH  YOU  AND  I.
THE  CHURCH  HAS  BECOME  A  PLACE  OF  DISASTER,
LET  ME  QUOTE  JEREMIAH  WHO  LONG  AGO  SAID  WOE  BE  UNTO  THE  PASTORS.
