o "There is no fire and brimstone here. No Bible-thumping. Just practical, witty messages."

o "Services at [name omitted] have an informal feeling. You won’t hear people threatened with hell or referred to as sinners. The goal is to make them feel welcome, not drive them away."

Sort of like Jesus preaching parables?

"Sort of like Jesus preaching parables?"

The only difference between our Lord Jesus' parables and the modernist parables is our Lord Jesus' were divinely inspired with a great spiritual truth. The modernist parables come down as nothing more then Aesop's fables with a great moral truth.

Few preachers, along with their congregation, can tell the difference anymore.
