Subject: Fear God!

Bible Note: Hank

I agree with your overall point ... balance is needed... but I also think of the 80/20 rule. My sense is that the average preachers of Edward's time were preaching 80 percent fear, don't(s) and sin and 20 percent Love, do's and grace. Today's preachers have reverse that, 80 percent love, etc. and 20 percent fear, etc.

Needless to say, God's message needs to be balance. but if I had to pick in the "real world" (please,don't recite the ideal) I'll take the typical 2002 preacher over the typical 19th century preacher.

I guess I'm even more wary of nostalgia " the good old days", than I am of the baby boomer mentality.
