Over the years, I have sat in a pew listening to "sermons" by a few famous IFB pastors that made me feel extremely uncomfortable due to inappropriate stories or sayings. In my opinion, if a sermon is preached then it should be 100% Bible based, and any stories or illustrations should only be used if they align perfectly with the sermon. Any fetishes between a husband and wife should never be spoken of from behind a pulpit, again it's my opinion, but I believe when fetishes are spoken about like this from a pulpit, during a sermon, it's blasphemous.   I am now extremely careful who I listen to and whose churches I visit during furlough. 

I have heard "IFB" pastors and preachers say stuff, during sermons, and in front of my kids, that I would not repeat here.

I've heard my share as well. One of my college professors said in a chapel service one time that if a burlesque house had a good hamburger he'd go there regardless of what people thought. Nice thing for a New Mexico pastor say, right? That was mild compared to other things stated in chapel services and classes that year.

I agree! I had to skip every time he spoke in chapel after that. I got demerits for it, but, it was well worth it! I dropped out of his class as well.

This action was uncalled for. This man doesn't belong in ministry. These aren't the actions of a minister of the Gospel. He's NOT "holding up the banner" as he said. Either he'd be gone or I would.

Lol...

Tough love? Some people might actually like their pastor preaching like this.

I attended a camp back in the 80s for teens who were a step away from "juvie". A lot of the preaching was like this. Some made it and some melted.

Camp was like this for me back in the middle 1970s, and I ended up skipping out. Got into a lot of trouble for it, but, at that time my parents had swallowed a lot of the IFB Kool Aid with the extra -Biblical hogwash some apply. They apologized to all six of us kids years later.

"...if you loved me..." Nothing about Jesus.  This is horrid. 

A church service is neither the place nor the time for this kind of "rebuke."   That fact that it made him "feel good" is proof that it was all about him. Not helping others. Not uplifting Christ.

The camp I went to wasn't a summer camp but one you had to stay at for at least 15 months. I stayed for six years ('87-'93) because I ended up becoming a staff member and really had no place to go. 

Like I said it was a last stop before juvie jail for some. There were a few that actually got to choose by a judge to go to this camp or to jail. One kid who was there for a few months decided he wanted to go to a reformatory because it was "cool". He got his wish.

Most of the preaching wasn't like this but there were times we'd get chewed out and preached at hard. It wouldn't work in most churches but I do believe there are people who look for preaching like this.
