Preaching is compelling to young secular adults ... - not if preachers use video clips from their favorite movies and dress informally and sound sophisticated, - but if the preachers understand their hearts and culture so well that listeners feel the force of the sermon's reasoning, even if in the end they don't agree with it.

[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace.

That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.
