The Error of Therapeutic Deism: The belief that God's grace should be presented without any warning of judgment, prioritizing human comfort over biblical truth.

The sermon offers a strong theological foundation on the necessity of works as evidence of saving faith, effectively distinguishing between dead orthodoxy and living trust. However, the homiletical execution falters significantly during the communion invitation. By explicitly removing the biblical warning of judgment to avoid making communion feel like a 'duty,' the pastor compromises the integrity of the sacrament, presenting a watered-down version of the gospel that prioritizes comfort over holy reverence.

Biblical Parallel (Archetype): Pergamum — The sermon blends orthodox truth regarding justification by faith with a significant pastoral failure in sacramental application. By removing the biblical warning of judgment from the communion invitation, the pastor blends the grace of the invitation with a worldly philosophy of comfort, failing to fence the table as Scripture commands.
