My peeves
 * Do not say every sermon is so central. Not all sermons can be central to everying (unless dim). Please give structural context in 2 or 3 sentences /then/ zoom, not 5 sentences about how important this is.
 * Do not hold everything in contrast to the decadent US church. If it is the church, it still has the life of Christ in it so have some respect. Also a negative attitude will make negative expectations, actions, and results.
 * Do not always point to self as bad/failing. The vast majority of the time, when Paul talked about himself, it was as a positive example.
