Piper On Hellless Preaching


Here's something you won't see or hear everyday: a modern day preacher warning other modern day preachers about the dangers of not preaching on hell. The first sermon I heard on hell was from my current pastor where I serve as youth pastor...and it was on Easter. I was so grateful.



What has caused this erosion of preaching on the wrath of God and hell is our societies fear of offending people. The gospel is an offense. Deal with it. Everyone that wants to be saved must deal with. And to eliminate the offense of the gospel is to eliminate the saving power of the gospel. I'd rather make a lot of enemies preaching the gospel, than a lot of friends preaching self-help/therapeutic sermons.
