Hi Robin,

I can see that the idea I was emphasizing could have been misunderstood. This quote is from a Banner of Truth devotional (Walking With God Day by Day)in which they take quotes from the various books of Lloyd-Jones.

The point that Lloyd-Jones was making, and which I was agreeing, is that many churches and preachers spend all their time preaching on the "love of God" to the utter neglect of His many other attributes. Frankly, I'm in agreement with the godly Puritans quoted here and their emphasis. We should love and extol all His attributes.

One of my favorite sermons by Jonathan Edwards is "The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners." I love His justice as much as I do His love. The "Wrath of God" and the "Love of God" are both perfections of God's divine nature and both should receive emphasis in the churches. But, many Christians are very uncomfortable thinking and speaking about God's justice and His wrath; they just want to hear about His love.
