Pastor Todd Pruitt comments on
minimizing theological and biblical terminology and preaching to the unsaved so
they will understand and believe the Gospel is confusing the congregation with preaching what he calls “gobbledygook” under
the guise of evangelical preaching.
He states, “Unbelief cannot be fixed
with providing someone with more information.
The refusal to believe is a moral issue – an issue of hard heartedness
that apart from God’s intervention is not going to be fixed. Romans 3 states, 'no one seeks for God.'
The privilege of
the preacher is that he gets to bring God’s living Word to a congregation and
know, and have full confidence, that the Spirit of God is going to use His
inspired Word to birth faith where there was no faith.”
