It is my deepening conviction that what is most needed today is a wide proclamation of those Scripture truths which are the least acceptable to the flesh. What is needed today, is a scriptural setting forth of the character of God: His absolute sovereignty, His ineffable holiness, His inflexible justice, His unchanging veracity.
What is needed today, is a scriptural setting forth of the condition of the natural man: his total depravity, his spiritual insensibility, his inveterate hostility to God, the fact that he is "condemned already," and that the wrath of a sin-hating God is even now abiding upon him!
What is needed today, is a scriptural setting forth of the alarming danger which sinners are in the indescribably awful doom which awaits them; and the fact that if they follow their present course only a little further, they shall most certainly suffer the due penalty of their iniquities!
What is needed today, is a scriptural setting forth of the nature of that dreadful punishment which awaits the lost: the dreadfulness of it, the hopelessness of it, the unendurableness of it, and the endlessness of it!
