| On July 8, 1741, at Enfield, Connecticut, a man by the name of Jonathan Edwards preached the most famous sermon ever preached in America. He titled it, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." As Edwards preached (actually, he read the manuscript to the congregation), strong men and women held onto the pews and cried out for mercy, pleading with the preacher, "Is there no way of escape?" Hundreds were converted as they heard that sermon--a subpoena from the skies. |
