abuse is a buzzword. However, it probably is
used less frequently in the context of what I saw today met in John's Gospel:

That was the torch that burns and seems ye were willing for a short time to rejoice in its light (Jn 5:35).

meant by 'that' is John the Baptist. It was the forerunner, the last prophet, Jesus Christ, the savior announced.
John is the epitome of the preacher who interprets the word of God in regard to Christ. He is the herald who calls out to his listeners: "The king is on his way to be his hand the wrong rule of your ways, your false religiosity, your self-centeredness, and to make! Be ready to accept his rule over you! "
is the word of John the courtroom word and notice a beautiful event.
In some ways he represents the church that God directs message to the world.

So what is the abuse? .
The abuse is that the listeners of his message does not really want to compete on his message, but merely want to revel in his bond
That is, they do not place themselves under the Lordship of Christ, but want the pleasures of his visit - ie of Christianity -.
you want to enjoy the fruits of harvest and enjoy without having to plant the tree
Is that possible.? Not really. But it seems that you believe that a lot ...
They want to hear good news, that is enjoying 'good sermons', where you can intellectually agree with you. But you do not really want such detail that one's life really geared to the Christian message.

If we so often encounter an attitude today, it appears this statement of Jesus in John's Gospel, that it is not new.
I think we all inclined / are at risk to abuse God's word and his message in such a way. In particular, the Puritans have recognized this and wrote about it several times.
A good help for self-examination offers as John Owens' Apostasy from the Gospel ', under the name "The risk of dropping " came out again in German (3L-Verlag). In short form

can also take to heart the 160th Question and Answer of the Westminster Larger Catechism helpful (internalize before tasting the next sermon):

What is required of those who hear the preaching of the word?

Answer: Of those who hear the preaching of the word, demanded that they give with diligence, preparation and prayer mindful examine what they hear according to the Scriptures, the truth with faith, love, gentle and more than willing to accommodate word of God, think about it and discuss, keep it in their hearts and bring them fruit in their lives.
