Got your attention? 
Do you believe in hell? Do you live like you believe in hell?
This weekend’s message at LifeChurch.tv was pretty stirring. We’re doing a series called So You’re Dead . . . Now What? This week’s topic was hell. Good, good stuff!
I’d definitely recommend watching the message online Tuesday night at 8:00 or when it becomes available on Wednesday (just go to www.lifechurch.tv). But I wanted to share some points that really got me.
Do you really believe in hell? Like everlasting torment? Isolation? Burning? (the scripture is pretty blunt)
Do you know who Jesus was talking to every time he discussed hell?
The religious people. Not the prostitutes or beggars or criminals. But the ‘righteous’. They’ve got lots of head knowledge, but He was concerned about their hearts. (Sounds a bit too relevant for today.)
If you believe in hell, do you live like it? Do you share your faith like it? Ugh, gut check for me!
There is nothing in scripture that talks about being comfortable. I would much rather be filled with the Consuming Fire here on earth filled with joy rather than tormenting fire in eternity.
