Because we live in the last days when the Lord has promised that His gospel will not be taken again from the Earth the threat of destruction cannot be the same as it was from the Lamanites. That being said, I don’t think that we can be lead to safety of we are not reminded with some regularity that failure is an option personally even if it isn’t an option institutionally.
I can’t say that I know the proper balance between stern warnings and gentle invitations but I do wonder if we favor invitations because they are more easily received because people fairly trail against the invitations like they do against citations of wickedness.
