To silence a preacher from preaching judgment is like being
awoke from sleep by a fire alarm, and just silencing the alarm,
and going back to sleep.

Judgment
A Tongue Like Thunder – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
As I was walking in the fields, the thought came over me with almost overwhelming power, that every one of my flock must soon be in heaven or hell. Oh how I wished that I had a tongue like thunder, that I might make all hear; or that I had a frame like iron, that I might visit every one and say, “Escape for thy life! Ah sinner! You little know how I fear that you will lay the blame of your damnation at my door.”

Revival or Judgment – Arthur Wallis
Strange though it may seem, there are distinct similarities between the ways of God in revival and in judgment. … Because of His very nature, God cannot and will not permit spiritual decline to continue unchecked. He is ever halting and reversing the trend of the times by means of revival—or judgment. Where His people are not prepared for the one, they shut themselves up to the other.

Don’t Be Laughed Out of Your Religion – Thomas Watson
Better have men reproach you for being good, than have God damn you for being wicked. Be not laughed out of your religion. If a lame man laugh at you for walking upright, will you therefore limp?

from The Great Gain of Godliness, 1682
If You Remain In Your Sin – AW Tozer
The man who remains in his sin will be damned just as surely as the sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west.

The Magnitude of Sin – Charles Spurgeon
But we arrive at a more adequate idea of the magnitude of sin by the greatness of the remedy provided. It is the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s only and well-beloved Son. God’s Son!
– Charles Spurgeon –
The Judge is at the Door – George Whitefield
The Judge is before the door: he that cometh will come, and will not tarry: his reward is with him.
– George Whitefield –
The Law and the Gospel – Charles Spurgeon
The law shows the distance that exists between God and man; the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Don’t Invent New Sins – William Gurnall
Think twice before you use your intelligence to invent new sins! You may provoke God to new punishments. Sodom devised a new way to sin, so God devised a new way to discipline them: He sent hell from above upon them.
