It was called "Their Foot Shall Slide in Due Time," and it was a sermon from Deuteronomy on the doctrine of reprobation. Edwards was teaching that there is a reprobate element in ANY church and that those who are in sin ought to awake from their slumber -- if they are able by the love, mercy and grace of God ALONE. The three metaphors in the sermon speak of God's wrath being stayed against sin by His love, mercy and grace. It's not a scare tactic to get people to repent. It's not an "altar call" sermon.
