Anyway, to stay on topic I have a question for you guys. Should Church sermons be comfortable or uncomfortable? What I mean by this is that should a sermon be lighthearted or should it tug at your heart strings to make you feel guilty for what you have done that might've upset God?
well
the pulpit is a very effective microphone from which to introduce ideas and push for change (or if you're a megachurch, grift for cash)
and even theoretically secular ideas can be introduced in a christian framework
that might sometimes require making people a bit uncomfortable
and obviously, the primary purpose of a church isn't social commentary
but a church which does nothing but reassure people isn't a church, it's a spiritual morgue
