Pulpit Clangers - 1

In front of a group of predominantly single people, reference was made to a series of christian camps that have been held over a number of years...

...where lots of young people have found Jesus, found a marriage partner and really got established in life.

Classic black box theory. In this case the black box is married couples, who are portrayed as fine upstanding christians, while single adults are painted as the immature god-less heathens. Presenting marriage as almost a pre-requisite to a meaningful life .... i really shouldn't need to point out how non-biblical this is.

It most likely wasn't intended to be offensive (and perhaps this is why some preachers never ad-lib in the pulpit). But to put marriage on par with encountering Jesus in just plain unscriptural, and to do so to a group of single adults ..... well, i think the phrase is "temporary insanity".
