Previous Post of the Week: 6/6-6/12

Announcing this week's Previous Post of the Week: The Justice of Hell: Why a Loving, Merciful God Requires Hell.

It is the lie of the devil to make people believe that Judgment is not coming and that Hell is only a temporary place where people’s sins are purged or where people are annihilated. This is seared into peoples’ consciences to excuse them (in their own minds) from not preaching and/or to give them a false security if they do not preach or if they do not consider eternity seriously. Such lies are dangerous both to those who seek to be preachers of the gospel and those who hear them. Paul warns Timothy to “Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you” (1 Timothy 4:16). Those who teach falsehoods are not doing one iota of good. Rather, people may and probably will end up in Hell due, at least in part, to such lies.
