I personally am at the moment a Dispensationalist. However I am open to Reformed/Covenant Theology. One major weakness of dispensationalism is the fact that so few churches in their camps preach on Hell. I will borrow a certain post on FB that outlines this problem very well.
TO WARN SOMEONE OF ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES IS NOT JUDGING THEM, IT IS LOVING THEM.
One of the things that many pulpits and churches today failed to talk, teach and preach about is the reality of the place which the word of God called hell. If we are honest about it, we find this subject abhorrent, offensive, and repulsive that we chose to ignore and evade this topic as much as possible, we tried to forget and think that it does not exist and is not real. But the Word of God is very specific and clear about it, Jesus and the apostles speak and talk plainly and strongly about it, warning us of it's evils and horrors, and it's unimaginable, eternal, gruesome sufferings. It is for this very reason, that God in His grace and mercy sent forth His only begotten Son that sinful, fallen men who will repent, believed, trust, follow and obey Jesus will be saved and escape this terrifying place. The good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ is meant to destroy, defeat and shatter the penalty of sin which is eternity of suffering and damnation in hell. Sadly, because the church is not faithful and neglect in communicating the whole truth of God's word, failing to warn people of this place, no longer speak and preach about sin, repentance and holy living, many are doom to go and suffer in this place, many will spent their eternity in this place. The word of God is very clear in Revelation 21: 8 " But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone which is the second death." Time is running fast, eternity is waiting and the doors of hell is opening it's mouth wide for the multitudes of people who mocks and ridicule the truth of its existence, who loves sin and hates God and rejects God's offer of mercy and salvation through His Son. God's people are commission to speak and share the whole absolute truth in love or we will find ourselves accountable before God for the souls of many.
This weakness seems to be mostly in Dispensationalist churches, yet as a FB poster testifies not in Reformed churches. Many will go to Hell because so few will preach on it, and warn others of the fire that awaits them!
