Preach Eschatology

"There's probably not a seminary student in the world whose not able use the word eschatological, yet for all that eschatological remains a term in an ideology of redemptive history and all too little a warning note in the preaching and the teaching of God's Word. Beloved, eschatological is not simply a framework for understanding the ideology of the gospel. Eschatology is the deep seated reality that carries with it the warning note of the gospel." --Sinclair Fergusson "Universalism and The Reality of Eternal Punishment: Contemporary Preaching" (preached at Desiring God, 1-30-90)
