“It is absolutely necessary to the preaching of the gospel of Christ
that men be warned as to what will happen if they continue in their sins. Ho, ho sir surgeon, you are too delicate to
tell the man that he is ill! You hope to heal the sick without their knowing
it. You therefore flatter them; and what happens? They laugh at you; they dance
upon their own graves. At last they die! Your delicacy is cruelty; your
flatteries are poisons; you are a murderer. Shall we keep men in a
fool’s paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumbers from which they will
awake in hell? Are we to become helpers of their damnation by our smooth
speeches? In the name of God we will not.” Charles Spurgeon
Modern evangelicals do exactly that. They fail to use the
Law of God to shake the sinner awake to the wrath to come. That is why modern
evangelism has produced many false converts.
