Which is a really sad thing - because no one should be acting out of "fear" - but rather love. Something that many a parish leader could learn.

Its like the sermon that says you better get saved because if you don't you will burn in torment for all eternity. Not only is such a message theologically incorrect, it seeks to motive from a negative. No conversion done through fear lasts.
