I’m struggling with the concept of hell. Unending torment…never ceasing…forever and ever and ever. It just doesn’t seem just. Here’s how the great 18th century preacher Jonathan Edwards described it: Consider what it… Continue reading
Roughly 2,000 years ago a man lived who would change the times and the seasons. No ordinary man, to be sure. In fact, so extraordinary that his life intersects with each one of… Continue reading
It’s like wearing a tiny electric chair on a chain. That’s how a pastor at our church once described the offense of the cross of Jesus Christ. He was talking about how something… Continue reading
“I don’t believe in Jesus.” If faith in Jesus determines one’s eternal destiny, as I believe it does, the above declaration of non-faith is a dangerous one. So if someone I care about… Continue reading
