Ferguson on the Wrath of God
July 9, 2007
It was a privilege to attend Rick Phillips's installation service last night at the Second Presbyterian Church in Greenville (South Carolina). Sinclair Ferguson preached from 1 Thessalonians 1 on "Becoming a Model Church" and was in his usual good form.
In the light of a previous post on J.I. Packer and penal substitution, one of Ferguson's comments seems especially notable. He observed that as a matter of history, churches that do not take the wrath of God seriously quickly lose their influence and do not make any lasting difference for the kingdom of God.
