What Ever Happened To Hell?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Sometimes we hear about the “Endangered species” list. That is, there are certain kinds of birds, fish, animals, and insects that die and become few in numbers because of hunting or natural disasters.

When this happens, they are placed on the “Endangered Species” list so that they will not become extinct. Once they are placed on this list, everything that is imaginable is done to preserve them. This is good, because if they were not placed on this list, soon these birds, fish, insects and ...read more

Jesus often taught in parables and referred to them as such, but in this passage there is no mention of it being a parable ... this is the story of an actual event, and He makes it very clear that each of us has a choice on where we will spend eternity, because our life choices do matter.

Either you will be in heaven with God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the redeemed of all history, or in hell with the devil, his angels, and the wicked of all history, to be ...read more

A Warning That Bears Repeating

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022

As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

Borrowing From Tomorrow

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 27, 2022

The Scriptures tell us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." (Proverbs 27:1). Too many people in these last days forget that they may not have tomorrow. The time to be prepared to meet God is now.
