26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Luke 17: 27-30.
I've often heard certain Gospel preachers referred to as Preachers of Fire and Brimstone.
Our Lord Jesus the Christ, stated that "the (same) day that Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all".
Now a days, this warning from Jesus is ignored in favor of smooth preaching (like smooth Jazz), feel-good sermons that don't offend anyone, instead they encourage people to continue their sinful ways, but only modify their behavior; change their attitudes to a more positive one so they can look forward to a prosperous, more fulfilling life. This is one reason why Tele-Evangelists are so popular with those that claim to be christians.
In a time when people are looking forward to 'celebrating' the winter solstice; When many are advocating in the courts and in the media for the rights of Marriage of people of the same gender; When children and youth are being indoctrinated in humanistic socialistic ideology, advancing a "Global" (Godless) consciousness; When Safe Sex is presented as a means to prevent communicable sexual diseases; When abortion is considered healthcare; At a time when anything goes, and the only thing not accepted is truth; It is time for remembering Jesus words of warning about these days resembling those of Lot's day. Fire and Brimstone is the type of message required for this time to shaken awake the masses that are snoring while they walk among us. Fire and Brimstone is what will finally awaken most of humanity; Yet, then it will be too late to heed!
