Didn't Paul tell us to COMFORT one another with these words?

Yes, there's definitely a place for exhortation too, but expecting church to make you miserable is just wrong.

"Do not look so sad. We shall meet soon again.” “Please, Aslan,” said Lucy, “what do you call soon?” “I call all times soon,” said Aslan.

Fundys love to mention being "under conviction." Sadly, they ignore the fact that for the Christian there is no condemnation. I regret how many sermons I preached as a fundy missionary to get people to do something by "preaching for conviction." I wish I could go back and change it all. Of course the churches I preached in would never have me back today. I just wish people could understand that it's not at all about our performance but Christ's performance for us!
