Correction from the Pulpit or In Person?

“The practice is more obvious when the message is not expository or the application is not plainly taught from the text. Preaching is used, not to expound the scripture, but to ‘send a message’ to a specific individual or group of individuals from the pulpit during the sermon.” - Proclaim & Defend

I’ve seen the opposite happen, too: where someone was convinced I was targeting them specifically in a sermon when I had nothing at all like that in mind.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
