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

I Know All Those Words, But That Sentence Makes No Sense To Me

  Let’s say you travel back in time six hundred years or so.  Luckily, you happen across a fellow that speaks English.  Upon hearing your tale, he describes you as nice, smart, and handsome.  Wouldn’t you feel good?   You shouldn’t.  As Sol Steinmetz in his book, Semantics Antics , explains; Nice originally meant someone who was foolish, ignorant, senseless, or absurd (middle English 1300). Smart for the first 300 years of its use meant causing pain, sharp, cutting, or severe, a sense that survives in the idiom "smart as a whip.” Handsome wasn’t complimentary. When coined around 1425, it just meant easily handled; it didn’t have its current positive connotation until 1590.   You might think he said you were a kind, intelligent, good looking bloke, when in reality he said you were a foolish pain easily dealt with.   Words have an annoying habit of changing meaning over time in the same language and it becomes even more compli...

Master Your Self

  In a contest for the toughest president of the United States, it would be hard to go against Theodore Roosevelt.  He was known for his “manly” pursuits hunting big game, climbing the Matterhorn, participating in boxing match while president. (These weren’t play fights, he lost the vision on one eye because of them!)  Once before he was about to give a speech an assassin shot him in the chest.  Roosevelt refused to go to a hospital and insisted on giving his speech, still wearing his blood-soaked shirt!   Teddy might have become tough but he wasn’t born that way.  He was a sickly child that suffered from severe asthma that almost proved fatal.  As was a young boy, doctors discovered that he had a weak heart, and advised him to get a desk job and not strain himself.  He was homeschooled because of his many illnesses and spent most of his time indoors.   But then as a teen his father, whom Teddy Roosevelt revered, told his son, “ ...

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.
