Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God

April 14, 2008 in Christianity by Isaiah | 7 comments

Not many pastors that I know of, except perhaps for a handful like Paul Washer, preach like this anymore in this day and age.

Our generation has gone soft, preferring to be consoled by lies like “Jesus-shaped hole in your heart” or “God wants you rich”, instead of discovering for ourselves the true nature of God — the God who never changes, the God who calls Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

If you are a Christian who has never read this sermon before, I beseech you to please do so, and I hope it will turn your Christian life upside down for the better as it did mine at one time.

Their foot shall slide in due time

– Deuteronomy 32:35 KJV

Jonathan EdwardsIn this verse is threatened the vengeance of God on the wicked unbelieving Israelites, who were God’s visible people, and who lived under the means of grace; but who, notwithstanding all God’s wonderful works towards them, remained (as ver. 28.) void of counsel, having no understanding in them. Under all the cultivations of heaven, they brought forth bitter and poisonous fruit; as in the two verses next preceding the text. The expression I have chosen for my text, Their foot shall slide in due time, seems to imply the following doings, relating to the punishment and destruction to which these wicked Israelites were exposed.

Read the full sermon.

    Steve Camp has a great song based on this sermon. It’s called “In the Hands of God.” I found the lyrics here. It’s an old album. You can get it for less than $5 at Amazon.

    wow… I read this sermon like more than 10 years ago. It took me only less than 1 hour and it made such a deep footprint in my life since

    Ugh, Linc, you know I’ve got absolutely zero control over what’s displayed! :)
    Or, maybe, just maybe, it’s just you. :P

    Aye, Nic! Unfortunately, not many Christians today know about this sermon or have even heard of it. I do hope some have at least now come to read it for themselves from this post.
