The above preacher rips on folks like David Jeremiah- but the fact is that people listen to him, Grow in the Lord- become effective witnesses with wish help, and help to spread the word in the communities and workplaces- and a great many people get saved outside of the church as a result-

Idleman says here.....

I’ve heard sermons from many postmodern and emerging leaders, and I’ve heard countless sermons from people such as John Piper, James MacDonald, Alistair Begg, Paul Washer, David Jeremiah, Jack Graham, John MacArthur, Ravi Zacharias, and so on; it’s amazing to hear the difference. The former speak as “advocates”—dialoguing, discussing, and pondering everything; the later speak as “witnesses” overcome by the magnificent power of God’s Word. Authority matters!

Actually, he doesn't. I thought so too at first but reread what he said and realized I had not read carefully.

He supports people like David Jeremiah.

I think that the point he's trying to get is that we need to take an uncompromising stand about the truths of Scripture.

Preaching that God loves you is not, necessarily *soft* preaching. The examples of post modern and the emergent church are about outlooks that downplay the judgment of God and do a squishy gospel that doesn't give the WHOLE truth about God, us, and our need for salvation.

Coming to Jesus because of what He can do for you or that someone promises He will wants to prosper you is coming for the wrong reason and while I think that some people may be saved in that, I also am concerned that a lot of people are led to believe they have a right relationship with God when they don't.
