SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD???Posted : 12 Jul, 2012 12:24 PMLove that sermon, Edwards aim was to teach his listeners about the horrors of hell, the dangers of sin and the terrors of being lost. Edwards describes the shaky position of those who do not follow Christ's urgent call to receive forgiveness. |
