“ Great Sermon! ” This sermon is alarming in that we are all hypocrites to a greater or lesser degree. I like what was said "When God gives a warning it's a gracious call to repentance. Words of warning are some of the most gracious words we could ever receive." That's so true and yet when someone comes to me and says "Watch out you don't fall into the sin of hypocrisy." I become offended and angry instead of being humbled and repentant. This is such a good sermon there is so much to learn. Another saying I like is "If you fear God you have nothing else to fear." God does comfort His people, what a great blessing! What GREAT love for sinners!
