Heaven or Hell...


I read morning devotions at seriousfaith.com and author Brent Riggs had this to say about Hell, "Jesus had much more to say about hell than heaven. Hell is a grim reality that is virtually ignored by Christians today as being too harsh, unloving or uncomfortable. We don't want to scare people away with talk of hell, so we simply ignore it, or give it a quick passing mention before moving on to more friendly subjects. That's a shame because our friendly intentions won't count for much to those who find themselves in eternal torment."
(Read more at:http://www.seriousfaith.com/teaching_detail.asp?teachingnumber=463) More often than not we stand in the way of the gospel message rather than give it full force. I am encouraged to press on and share faithfully with my friends and family who are unsaved. Let us not forget what we were saved from and persevere even in the midst of opposition. I had a great time talking and praying with Jenna last night at Starbucks. We also saw Jennifer Webber there which was a happy surprise.
"What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ..." Phil. 3:8
