To present only God's judgment or only God's grace is a disservice to the hearer.

Agree with you brother! Thanks for reminding us that we need to present the "entire" gospel. Not only "fire and brimstone" by itself or "pie in the sky" message by itself but the entire gospel.

As in Rom 6:23 if we left out the second half of the scripture, we'd present a gospel with no hope from our sins.

For the wages of sin is death,

Yes, God will judge the world's sins. But he has given us hope and an escape from eternal torment through His Son Jesus!

but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And yes, let's remember and pray for those brothers and sisters that are going thru persecution in other countries. Where worshipping our Lord or sharing the gospel carries a penalty of imprisonment and/or death. Let us not take our freedom to worship and share the gospel for granted in our country. And may we all continue to take this privilege to further God's kingdom and reach out to a lost and dying world.

regards,
Andretti
