		<description>Matt,
We appreciate your comments. Thanks for taking the time to make your point.
 
However, you may have misinterpreted our site and our intention. With our Sermonators site, there are some things that are just &quot;understood&quot; when you come here. We are not a site that is going to continually talk about a preachers walk with the Lord - there are a lot of those out there. We are taking that as a given when you come here. 

Here are some things we assume:

* We assume the preacher is walking with the Lord

* We assume the preacher is praying

* We assume the preacher has integrity


We aren&#039;t ignoring it or downplaying it - we just cannot be a site that talks about everything...we are a preaching and time management site.  So, we ask that everyone not be offended by the fact we aren&#039;t continually talking about your walk with the Lord - it is just not what this site is intended to do primarily. 

The funny thing is, our next podcast is about The Holy Spirit and the Preacher. We wanted everyone to know that we are not taking the Holy Spirit out of the equation. In that podcast, we talk about the preacher&#039;s daily walk.

Thanks for being a part of the Sermonators community!</description>

		<description>I think I would have to disagree. There are things I would say are much more important than learning skills of great preaching. Let take...oh, let&#039;s see...Drawing closer to God? Would that be one of the most important things a pastor can do? I think it definately warrents being in the top two!

Don&#039;t get me wrong, great preaching skills definatly make it easier to listen to the message, but if the pastor isn&#039;t continually drawing closer to God, I&#039;m not sure I want to hear that sermon.</description>
