Sermons on Highway To Hell:

Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B: "When In Doubt, Cut It Out.”

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2024

It is not hyperbole to say that it is better to enter heaven maimed [one-armed, one-footed, and one-eyed] than to enter hell whole. That is literally true.

“When Jesus exaggerated” is a book title, and there are countless articles on how Jesus uses exaggeration and hyperbole for effect, like we hear this Sunday; to literally cut off your hand or foot or gouge-out your eyes because then you won’t sin with them.1 However, “it is not hyperbole to say ...read more

The Best Is Yet To Come

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 14, 2023

However, we may not even see a glimpse in this life. We may have to go through what seems like Hell on the way to Heaven.

Everyone likes to use the phrase the best is yet to come. If you are not a Christian the worst is yet to come. Your life may be golden here, but in the end your life will be Hell for eternity. Indeed, the best for a Christian is to be in Heaven so the best is yet to come. However, that does not ...read more

The Reality, Rise, And Ruin Of Satan

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 30, 2021

The devil is a real, malevolent, evil fallen angel, the sworn enemy of God and His people. He is active but limited in his schemes, destined along with the demons and all who follow him to be judged by the Lord Jesus and cast into hell for eternity. Heed what the Scriptures teach.
