Bible knowledge, promptness, emotional expression, and the article's verdict

The hosts cover the remaining virtues: 'knowledgeable about the Bible' (Powell's 'knowledge puffs up, but love builds up' from Paul), which they read as a misrepresentation since Paul's own writings treat knowledge as valuable while warning against pride; 'promptness,' which they reject as embarrassing exegesis, especially its use of Jesus's lateness to Lazarus; and 'expressive and emotional,' which earns the article its one concession ('score one for this man'). They grade the article a D-minus/F-plus, mock its share counts (3,052 on Facebook, zero on Twitter), and note the piece reads as a reaction to 1980s church culture rather than anything they see today.
