    Meeting Jesus in the Lazarus' of this world.

    Luke 16:19-31 “We All Know Lazarus” We have all seen him. He lies on a pile of newspapers outside a shop doorway, covered with a rough blanket. Perhaps he has a dog with him for safety. People walk past him or even step over him. Maybe he occasionally rattles a few coins in a tin cup, asking ...read more

    Lessons From Hell

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 25, 2025
     | 413 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

    Father Abraham Had Many Sons

    Jesus used a familiar Jewish story to show who the true children of Abraham are. The only bridge across the chasm of sin is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    (Father Abraham and Lazarus) If you could overhear a live conversation between heaven and hell, would you lean in? Many people read Jesus’ story of the rich man and Lazarus as though He lowered a microphone into the afterlife to let us hear a dialogue across eternity. For centuries preachers ...read more

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Lazarus And The Rich Man

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 26, 2025
     | 545 views

    Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all eternity, and I don’t mean a below sidewalk-level seedy bar in Manhattan, NY.

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is the only parable that contains a proper name, "Lazarus;" the rich man has no name, but he is traditionally known as "Dives," the Latin word meaning "rich." Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all ...read more

    A Very Frightening Reading About Hell, How Then To We Avoid It.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Sep 28, 2025
     | 193 views

    No matter where we are in our spiritual journey, this parable will quickly return us to earth with a bang. Let us remind ourself of our duty to God and our fellow man.

    Introduction: “This is a frightening reading” What a horrible, and frightening reading that was. For me, this is one of the worst passages in the whole bible, partly because we do not understand it in full, and partly because we do. … No matter where we are in our spiritual journey with the Lord, ...read more

    Sin importar en qué punto nos encontremos en nuestro camino espiritual, esta parábola nos traerá de vuelta a la tierra con un estallido. Recordemos nuestro deber para con Dios y el prójimo.

    Introducción: “Esta es una lectura aterradora” ¡Qué lectura tan horrible y aterradora! Para mí, este es uno de los peores pasajes de toda la Biblia, en parte porque no lo entendemos completamente y en parte porque sí lo entendemos. … No importa en qué punto nos ...read more

    If you want to be certain of heaven and avoid hell, stop depending on yourself and depend on Jesus.

    A drunk man got on the bus late one night, staggered up the aisle, and sat next to a woman who was clutching a Bible. She looked the wayward drunk up and down and said, “I've got news for you, mister. You're going straight to hell!” The man jumped up out of his seat and shouted, “Oh, man, ...read more

    Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org The reality of Hell is something that most people, especially carnal people, do not want to contend with.

    Hell - The Unpleasant Reality

     | 1,275 views

    The story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31 offers the best and clearest picture into the nature of hell. Because these words come from our Lord Jesus, we must treat them with utmost respect. We see the cry of rich man from hell to heaven.

    The Bible warns us of two eternities. One is impressive and all like to hear about it. But the other is horrifying and seldom wants to believe it. They are heaven and hell. Is hell real? There can be two answers. One is from man and the other is from God. What I think about hell neither make a ...read more

    This life on earth is our time given to hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After our death, our decision is final and fixed for all eternity.

    God is very clear in His written Word regarding His plan of Salvation and it does not include a philosophy of "easy believism".

    As Cindy and I travel to assembly each Sunday a preacher comes on the radio. His opening words every week begin with: “ If I had to give this message a title it would be” and then he gives us the title. I chuckle every week- I don’t know why. Maybe because he is so predictable. So this week I am ...read more

     | 1,952 views

    We’ve been looking at a series of parables from Luke’s gospel that have been leading to one of the most profound parables of them all; the story the rich man and Lazarus, or what I’m calling, “A Crypt-tic Tale.” Its moral is to listen to God now or regret if for eternity.

    How much of what God wants us to hear have we actually heard? And does it matter how much we hear if we don’t do what we’re told?

    Have any of you visited the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City? That’s what I kept thinking of as I meditated on this parable. Because just as I was leaving Presbytery last Tuesday evening, I ran into Bob Higgs, who is Executive Director of the Atlantic City Mission Council. He was carrying several ...read more
