Mount of Sinai and Mount of Zion.
“Secure sinners must hear the thundering of Mount Sinai before we bring them to Mount Zion. Every minister should be a Boanerges, a son of thunder, as well as Barnabas, a son of consolation.” George Whitefield
"Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off." Exodus 20:18
The Apostle Paul exhorted his disciple Timothy with the following words which apply to us today.
"1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of
thy ministry." 2 Timothy 4:1-5
"It grieves me how the American church has become seeker friendly, politically correct and a house of entertainment. Many preachers today do not even know what the Gospel is, much less know how to preach it to bring sinners to conviction of sin and salvation through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ." E. A. Johnston
