God is not one dimensional.
It's just as silly to overfocus on God's love and mercy as it is his judgment and righteousness.
God is a loving and just God.
He will also destroy the wicked and avenge the persecuted. We can reap one of two things from God, love and mercy or judgment and damnation.
We need to assure the saints of God's love as much as we need to warn the sinner of his pending imminent destruction.

Yeah, that's what he says. I just don't see it. I've been all over the country, in many sorts of churches, and fear is preached so heavily it's stifling. If he's somewhere it's not preached...I could accept that, but he won't accept anyone else saying it's preached too much. Or..maybe we simply disagree on how much is too much. I dunno.
