" In the South before World War II, especially black preachers made their reputations on their elaborate and frightening descriptions of Hell. It was said that a truly gifted preacher could make a congregation “smell brimstone, and feel the fire licking the floorboards beneath their feet.”

The hellfire and brimestone is more a message to the lost than the already saved.
However ? the GOOD NEWS of the gosple of Christ should be also a part of that message, people need to know why they need Christ.
Should not preach a message of hopelessness and not give them any hope.
