Is there a hell?

Is there a ‘hell’?

The Bible and preachers use various terminologies in reference to ‘hell.’

  • It is a Christ-less eternity.
  • It is an eternal separation—eternal punishment.
  • It is a lake of eternal fire.
  • It is a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth.
  • It is highly populated.
  • It is a blazing furnace.

Hell becomes—in the final analysis of things—a ‘God-less’ place.
Hell is the place where God is not.  Hell becomes—for some people—the place they’ve always wanted.

It is a place where there is no ‘God.’
It is a place where there is no mention of Jesus Christ as the living, resurrected, saving Lord.
Millions of people have not believed in God.
Millions of people wish God would just go away and mind His own business.
Millions of people have wanted to live their life—‘…my way.”
That is hell.

Hell has no presence of God.  Hell has no sense of God.
Which means the following:
  • Hell is dark—because only God is light.
  • Hell is hatred—become love comes only from God.
  • Hell is loneliness—because sociality comes from God.
  • Hell is misery, cold, damp, evil—because God is joyful, warm, and good.
  • Hell is unrighteousness, anxiety, and sadness —because God is righteousness, peace, and joy.
  • Hell is sickness and pain—because only God is health and freedom.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
“7 And God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come with his mighty angels,
8 in flaming fire, bringing judgment on those who don’t know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus.
9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction, forever separated from the Lord and from his glorious power”


Hell is the total absence of what theologians call two things:
1.  Common Grace-  This is the grace that God is at present extending to the world.  God allows EVERYONE common grace.  Everyone receives the blessings of God’s creation, generosity and kindness—whether you honour or believe God or not.
2.  Special Grace—This is the grace offered through Jesus—bringing anyone who receives this grace— into relationship with God.

Hell has no grace!  Grace is not there—anywhere.  There is no kindness.  There is no help.  There is no friendliness.  There is no communication.  There is no human touch. There is no kind words.  Why?  Because there is no grace.

Hell is the place many have longed for—a ‘God-less’ existence.  But most, are not aware of what that means!

Learning to hate your sin

Image
   John 5:13-15 (NLT) 13 The man didn’t know, for Jesus had disappeared into the crowd. 14 But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you.” 15 Then the man went and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had healed him.   Lord give me grace, power, and effort to maintain a resilience against sin.  Sin is ALWAYS a dark path. It ALWAYS pays wages.  The wage of sin is death.  Sin will always hurt, always destroy, always wound—you, relationships, stuff, goals, etc.  It is a killer.  It is a wound-er.  It is a consumer of all that is healthy, strong, good, and perfect. Learn to hate sin. Learn to fear sin. Learn to run as fast as you can away from sin. Search deeply for hidden sin. Be disgusted with your sin.  Repent, repent, repent daily for your sin. Be afraid of your sin. Be petrified of your sin. Be worried about your sin. And keep repenting, keeping running into the arms of grace and the arm

Meditation

Meditation I realize as we move on with this series that there are two things that need some clarification.  We already looked at the idea of silence and quietness—this week we will look at meditation.  Let’s begin by giving you the descriptions of the differences between these two disciplines.  Although from an outsider’s position there may be little or subtle differences, I want to help you process the vast difference between these—-and the immense benefit from both of these disciplines: Silence/ Quietness: Here the idea is shutting out your active mind —leaving lots of space for two things.  First, space to give your mind a rest, relaxing your mind.  It is a stopping of your mind from racing around solving all the problems of the world.  Second, giving space to hear from God! It is laying aside your agenda.  It is putting aside the debris, hurriedness, and hectic pace to relax in God’s presence.  Often music can help you with this.  Using the “Jesus praye

God is after you! And... for a different reason than you think!

Have you ever been pursued by a suitor—a lover—someone who is very interested in you? Was it pleasant to be liked?  Was it pleasant to be wanted?  Well, yeah—for sure.  Who doesn’t want to be loved? Who doesn’t want to be sought after?  Who doesn’t want to be appreciated? I do!  I am sure you do too! Did you know that is actually the message of Christmas—and the actual ‘story’ of the Bible?  It’s a story about God pursuing humanity. Too often when we think of God, or church, or the Bible—we think of behaving ourselves enough to get God’s attention.  Or, we think of trying hard to impress God—so that God would appreciate the hard work we are doing down here and give us His nod. Well, actually that is not true.  That is not the message of the Bible—nor the core message of Christmas.  It is actually the total opposite.  The core message of Christmas is not our chasing God—it is God chasing us! God is so in love with us—and wants so much for us to be with Him—and wa
