You catch more bees with honey. The definition of the word gospel = good news. Too many preach the fire, brimstone, fear, punishment etc. That pushes people away. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is Good News. Why would you try and convince someone to choose to know more about God using threats? The real message God offers us is the joy and peace of being with Him. The fire and brimstone and punishment is a human choice. We choose it by denying to receive from Him the free gift of redemption. God approaches us with open arms. The bleakness of separation from Him only comes if we fail to accept His forgiveness and love. So preach the joy and peace of fellowship with God. By this I do not mean the false prosperity gospel that is being preached today about being healthy, wealthy and wise in this life. The proof of this false gospel is that God Himself said that He disciplines or chastises those He loves. Heb 12:6 and Prov 3:12.
