It has become the strategy of many in the pulpit to give illustrations and stories but to ignore the Bible. I even heard one well known pastor say that he give a verse or two at the end of his sermon. It's as if you give people a little Bible just so they can say they went to church and not a self-improvement conference. Come on folks, let's get serious about learning and living the word of God. And may the cry of our day be the cry of the Reformation that said "I will only believe and do what the Bible says."
