    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 25, 2025
     | 460 views

    The "Rich Man" has gone to Hell. While there, he is in conversation with Abraham about being in torment. This conversation teaches us three important lessons about being ready for eternity.

    HISTORICALLY SPEAKING, WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO TAKE SIDES! WE CAN SOMETIMES FIND HUMOR IN SUCH ENDEAVORS LIKE DEBATING WHETHER IT IS PRONOUNCED “POTATOE” OR “PATATTA,” “CARRIBIAN” OR “CARRA-BEAN” OR EVEN “NEVADA” OR “NUH-VADA.” WE ALWAYS DESIRE TO BE RIGHT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CHOOSE THE RIGHT ...read more
