                    Going to a zoo is educational, for people of all ages, and when you are there you might be in the presence of a lion, tiger or a bear, but at the same time you are separated from these ferocious animals. The scripture teaches us that in the world to come unconverted men will be separated from the

                    [102].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – GOD SENDS NO ONE TO HELL
The Introduction for this poem is longer than average.

                    HERE ARE 8 LIES OF THE DEVIL CONCERNING HELL.  Unfortunately, many of these lies are found in pulpits, churches, seminaries or college campuses.
1.Hell is not a place, it is a state of mind (16:22 – “he died”).
2.  Hell is annhiliation.   When you die, you no longer exist!
3.  Hell is

                    THE FIRE
H. A. Ironside told the story of pioneers who were making their way across one of the central states to a distant place that had been opened up for homesteading. They traveled in covered wagons drawn by oxen, and progress was necessarily slow.

                    WHERE’S THE FIRE?
In a small town, the volunteer fire department’s telephone was answered by the policeman on duty, who would in turn sound the fire whistle to rally the volunteers to duty. One Saturday morning, the town chief of police, had just come on duty when the fire department phone rang.
