"Fear Him who can destroy both soul & body in Hell
This is why Jesus said, "Fear Him who can destroy both soul & body in Hell" (Matt 10:28).
The fear He demands is not fear of hell as a natural consequence of bad habits, but of God as a holy judge who sentences guilty sinners to hell."
[John Piper, 'What Jesus Demands from the World', Demand 11, page 94]

I read what I thought was Spurgeons thought for today this morning as I keep 'morning and evening' in the living room for when I'm there and remember (i thought today was the 8th, silly me)...
'If they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?' Luke 23v31.
If I, the innocent substitute for sinners, suffer thus, what will be done when the sinner himself - the dry tree- shall fall into the hands of an angry God? When God saw Jesus in the sinner's place, He did not spare Him; and when He finds the unregenerate without Christ, He will not spare them. O sinner, Jesus was led away by his enemies: so shall you be dragged away by the fiends to the place appointed for you. Jesus was deserted of God; and if He, who was only imputedly a sinner, was deserted of God, how much more shall you be?...Jesus was spit upon: sinner, what shame shall be yours!
And he goes on...I just thought it was a really good paragraph to encourage us to reach out to the lost, and stop acting like everything is ok. I'm not sure how applicable this all is to your point now, it seemed to be appropriate earlier. But anyway... hope you enjoyed it. -
