I always wondered why so many preachers preach the same message over and over again — like the atonement of the original sin. It seems to me that such a truth would only be needed to mentioned a few times a year to remind people, but over and over and over and over. Yep, they are rationalizing!
My wife and I like listening to sermons from Andy Stanley, a Christian preacher from Atlanta. He has quite a different take on Scriptures and pulls out some interesting lessons that non-Christians can find very useful in their lives. Andy does get into the standard theology, but it is not over and over and over and over.
