Get out of denominational churches then. I went to a Church of Christ (no, not the denomination) and most of the "sermons" and classes were just that, or talking about how half of y'all in the congregation were going to hell too because you don't really give a damn about God and his word.

I've only met one pastor who had a sufficient grasp of theology and history to deliver those messages.
I've had a pastor tell me to my face that they are cautioned against such messages because modern churches are corporations and they don't want attendance to drop.

Our pastor says fairly often that "Not everyone who sings about heaven is going there."
And the more and more I hear about some of the churches and "preachers" from people here? The more I thank God for blessing us with the one we have.
