Don't You Want To Go To Hell!!


 (The Equal time Rule originated in The Radio Act of 1927 ,later the Communication Act, stated U.S. radio and television broadcast stations must provide an equivalent opportunity to any opposing political candidates who request it. Though this not required of preacher’s blogs, I thought in fairness I might give equal time to the other side with this post!).



  Why wouldn’t you want to go to hell? 

  Oh sure, there are a lot of thing people like Jesus saying bad things about hell but what the great traits? Do we ever consider them?

  For example, Hell is quite the popular destination (Mathew 7:13-14).  Many of your friends and family will be there (Luke 13:23).  It not hard to get into Hell, you don’t have to do anything to get there. You don’t have to listen and do anything anybody tells you to do (Matthew 7:21). 

  On earth, you always have God looking over your shoulder (Jeremiah 23:23-24) but in Hell, you won’t have to worry about that anymore (2nd Thessalonians 1:9).  You won’t have to worry about being surrounded by a bunch of goodie goodies there either (Galatians 5:21).  No more folks pressuring you to attend worship, to give, to live rightly, in fact, there will be no such encouragement at all.  No one will be there to judge you, since the time of judgment will be over (Hebrews 9:27).  You won’t have to worry about Christ coming at all (Hebrews 9:28).

  I know for lots of folks they despise that things don’t last but you won’t have to worry about that in Hell, it’s everlasting (Matthew 25:46). Hate Change? Things are not ever going to change in Hell (Mark 9:48). There won’t be a lot of coming and going in Hell (Luke 16:26).

  Ok, maybe you’re not sold on Hell.  Do you really want to go to all that effort for something else?   Learn About Jesus (Romans 10:14)? Make a choice about who he is (John 8:24)? That sounds like a lot of work to me. Do that and you might have to give up sin and forgo its wages (Romans 6:23). You will even have to go underwater and get your hair wet (Mark 16:16). Seems pretty silly!  

  And then on top of that then you would then have to be surrounded by people that love you and want to encourage and edify you (Hebrews 10:24-25).  That sounds like a waste some of this temporary time on earth for few measly moments in eternity .  Are we even sure God wants us in heaven (John 3:16, 1st Timothy 2:4)?


  Look, I don’t have to conceive you to choose hell (2nd Thessalonians 1:7-8), it's the default choice.  So set back don’t worry about eternity and let someone else take care of it. There is plenty of room for you in Hell

Mysterious Ways

    William Cowper didn’t see any reason to live.   He decided that he’d jump off the bridge over the Thames. So, he called a cab to take him there.   But that night in 1763, a thick fog enveloped London. It was so thick the cab driver couldn’t find the bridge and couldn’t even find the way to take William home. In frustration, he ordered the driver to stop and get out to get his bearings. He walked up to the nearest house to read the number and it was William's house. Gone now were William’s thoughts of suicide and instead a new idea came into his head. So, he went in and wrote these words: God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm.  You fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds you so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break In blessings on your head.     I sometimes wish we could see all the ways God watches over us when need it. There are...

The Gift You Give Yourself

    I always hated buying gifts for my Mom. If I got her something like a new set of pans, it was like saying “Here’s something you can use to go make me something to eat”. A gift for her was seemingly a gift for me.   There are however gifts you give that benefit you more than the receiver. For example, forgiveness. When you give it, you are giving it to yourself as much as you are giving it to them. Jesus said that when we forgive others it means God is forgiving us our wrongs (Matthew 6:14-15).  I once read: “ Heaven is where everyone's forgiven. Hell is where nobody's forgiven.  So, when we forgive we pull heaven down into our lives.  When we withhold forgiveness, we pull hell up into our lives ” Give yourself something nice today, Forgive.

Canned Faith

  As Dale Jenkins wrote: “Faith is a little like paint. As long as it’s in the can, it isn't much. Left in the can long enough a gallon of paint will ruin. Faith left unpracticed and unexercised will too….  You can’t just talk about faith.  To be effective, you must be living it out. So take the paint out of the can and start painting.”   The Bible says in James 2:18,”  But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works . " Faith is something that only works when it is used. If our faith doesn’t do anything, is it really there at all?   Truly “ living by faith ” isn’t just a proclamation we make but one we live in how we walk and talk, how we live and interact, and what we say but also what we do.  Is our faith canned? Is it something we have if we go looking for it? Or is it something that is being used daily in our lives?   Does your faith color eve...
