This approach to engaging the unsaved is an eternal tragedy in the making. Instead of warning people about the wrath to come, we give them a false sense of security through involvement in religious activities and programs. Or worse, we inadvertently encourage people to think they are good enough to escape it!

One of the worst lies ever spoken is that there are many ways to heaven. On the surface, this statement sounds like one of the most loving and inclusive things you could say. In reality, it is spiritual deception masquerading as truth. The problem with this statement is that it creates a false sense of eternal security
Because the world is coming unraveled, we could easily slip into despondency If it wasn’t for the promises in God’s word. If you are a Christian, I want to remind you about your bright hope for tomorrow.
What I’m aiming for is a holy sense of urgency. Roughly 175,000 people die and go into eternity every day. People’s souls are literally hanging in the balance between heaven and hell. We don’t have a moment to waste.
Based on the evidence in scripture, I believe the only thing that will matter in 100 years is where we will be and who we will be with. If you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will be with Him in heaven at the moment you die or are raptured.
Hell is not a popular subject, but it’s one that demands our attention. Unfortunately, it is a subject rarely discussed in churches today. That is a shame…given the eternal consequences and the reality of hell.
On that day we will see our Lord face to face and He will give us our rewards or we will suffer loss based on what we do for His kingdom in this life.
I cannot get my mind wrapped around Christians today who think this life, this earth, and this daily existence is the pinnacle of joy.
