"Something more is wanted than merely to din into men's ears what they ought to be, and what they ought to do. Something is wanted more effectually to renovate the heart and move the springs of action. The water is nought, and if you make it flow it is bitter. You want an ingredient to be cast into it that will heal its poison springs, and make them sweet and clear."

What a wonderful and apt quotation from C.H. Spurgeon, posted on Pyromaiacs.

Moralism leads to immorality! We see that in spades in the Episcopal Church where we have more rules than ever before guiding the behavior of clergy, but absent the gospel, we have more immorality as well!
