• 16 For I am not ashamed of the
gospel, for it is the power of God for
salvation to everyone who believes,
to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God
is revealed from faith for faith, as it is
written, “The righteous shall live by
faith.”
• 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from
heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who by their
unrighteousness suppress the truth.
• 5 But because of your hard and
impenitent heart you are storing up
wrath for yourself on the day of wrath
when God's righteous judgment will be
revealed.
• “Instead of preaching the good news
that sinners can be made righteous
in Christ and escape the wrath to
come, the gospel has degenerated
into the pretext that we can be made
happy in Christ and escape the
hassles of this life.”

• 18 “If the world hates you, know that it has
hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were
of the world, the world would love you as its
own; but because you are not of the world,
but I chose you out of the world, therefore the
world hates you. 20 Remember the word that
I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his
master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also
persecute you. If they kept my word, they will
also keep yours. 21 But all these things they
will do to you on account of my name,
because they do not know him who sent me.
John 15
• 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone
would come after me, let him deny himself
and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For
whoever would save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the
whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what
shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 For
the Son of Man is going to come with his
angels in the glory of his Father, and then he
will repay each person according to what he
has done.
• The Law-less “God loves you and has a
wonderful plan for your life” message doesn’t
cause the sinner to tremble. If they respond to
the message only to improve their lives, when
persecution comes, they will be disillusioned
and fall sway from the faith. Ray Comfort
• 17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them,
“Those who are well have no need of a
physician, but those who are sick. I came not
to call the righteous, but sinners.”
• 19 For what can be known about God is
plain to them, because God has shown it
to them. 20 For his invisible attributes,
namely, his eternal power and divine
nature, have been clearly perceived, ever
since the creation of the world, in the
things that have been made. So they are
without excuse.

give the appearance of having been designed for a
purpose”, The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins
• “Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what
they see was not designed, but rather evolved”,
What Mad Pursuit, Francis Crick
• “The theory of evolution itself, a theory universally
accepted not because it be can proved by logically
coherent evidence to be true but because the only
alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible.”,

• 21 For although they knew God, they did
not honor him as God or give thanks to
him, but they became futile in their
thinking, and their foolish hearts were
darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they
became fools, 23 and exchanged the
glory of the immortal God for images
resembling mortal man and birds and
animals and creeping things.
• 53:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no
God.” Psalm 53
• 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
wisdom; all those who practice it have a good
understanding. Psalm 111
• 120 My flesh trembles for fear of you, and I
am afraid of your judgments. Psalm 119
• 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him
who, after he has killed, has authority to cast
into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Luke 12
• 24 Therefore God gave them up in the
lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the
dishonoring of their bodies among
themselves, 25 because they exchanged
the truth about God for a lie and
worshiped and served the creature
rather than the Creator, who is blessed
forever! Amen.
• 25 because they exchanged the truth about
God for a lie and worshiped and served the
creature rather than the Creator, who is
blessed forever! Amen. 26 For this reason God
gave them up to dishonorable passions. For
their women exchanged natural relations for
those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the
men likewise gave up natural relations with
women and were consumed with passion for
one another, men committing shameless acts
with men and receiving in themselves the due
penalty for their error.
• 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge
God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do
what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled
with all manner of unrighteousness, evil,
covetousness, malice. They are full of envy,
murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are
gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent,
haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient
to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless,
ruthless. 32 Though they know God's decree that
those who practice such things deserve to die,
they not only do them but give approval to those
who practice them.
• 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous
will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not
be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who
practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor
the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you. But you were
washed, you were sanctified, you were
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6

their life and make them happy.

disease.

the Mount.
• Present the terrible realities of Judgment Day
and hell.
• Shallow fear and shallow sorrow equals
shallow gratitude

• 10 For godly grief produces a repentance that
leads to salvation without regret, whereas
worldly grief produces death. 2 Corinthians 7
• 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a
broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not
despise. Psalm 51
• 37 Now when they heard this they were cut to
the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the
apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Acts 2
