Do You Believe in Hell?
“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—where ‘Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’”
Mark 9:43-44

Ponder This
No matter what people say about Hell, Hell is still there.
May I ask you some questions? Listen to me. If there is no Hell, is not this book a bundle of blunders because it teaches us about Heaven and Hell? Now if you don’t believe what it says, why do you read it? Why do you say that you believe it? Now if there is no Hell, secondly, is not Jesus Christ a deceiver? Do you know who the greatest hell-fire preacher was in the Bible? Had more to say about Hell than any other subject? It was Jesus! People say, “O, I wish you were more loving like Jesus.” Consider the words of the loving Christ in Mark 9:43-44.
Never ridicule a preacher for being a hell-fire preacher because if you do, you’re speaking evil of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Practice This
Spend time this week asking God to make the reality of Hell real to you so that your desire and urgency to share the Gospel with others may grow.

FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
