Classic Jeff Arnold.
First, he hammers ministers.
“We are supposed to reveal Jesus; not us. And we are supposed to reveal redemption and not perfection. And you cannot reveal Jesus (just) because you talk in tongues, and don’t smoke cigarettes.”
Then he turns around and hammers congregants.
He points out that we go to the doctor, wait forever, spend a lot of money, take the medicine, and then we don’t get better. We go back to the doctor, adjust the approach, repeat the process, and keep trying. But then, when it comes to God, we go to the altar, pray and get prayed for, and if we DON’T get healed on the spot, then we get discouraged, think that God doesn’t love us any more, and give up on the process.
I may or may not see myself in his comments, which is a weasely way of saying that I’m convicted.
