What’s wrong with this picture?
From their own imagination, they gather to themselves great crowns of righteousness! Not only do they boast in their own inheritance, but they refuse to honor the One who is Clean.
But go ahead, lap it up America; like a hungry dog at a bowl of milk. The wrath of God waits patiently.

If we don’t want any part of God, we don’t hurt his feelings. We will find him in complete agreement. Isn’t that why he created hell?
Right now the door to his love is wide open. If you don’t want to go in, God is not particularly offended. He left us with a choice for a reason.

It is easier to set a man against the entire world than to set him in opposition against himself. (Paraphrase from Matthew Henry’s commentary regarding the narrow way)
The social, religious, and political activist finds it easy to point his finger at the nature of things around him. All the while the truth of Christ points its finger at the nature of things within the man.
This is the difference between living our life in the broad way which leads to hell and destruction, and the narrow way which leads to life.
The only one who has a right to speak against the nature of wickedness, is the one who is enduring a holy chastening of his own. As the Lord makes the man accomplish, he also endows the man with rights and expectations.
How few are willing to endure the Holy Judgment of God’s expectations daily? How many simply ignore God’s direction without examination?
Endure the Holy Fire of God now, or endure it forever then. That’s our choice isn’t it? Join the vast crowd and die unchanged. Or submit yourself to the Eternal Holiness of the Eternal Living God. Remain free to make your own choices, or submit all your choices to the One who lives forever.
Matthew 7: 13, 14

A car with a bad engine is unworthy of your money, unless you have the means to fix it. And if your car behaves poorly, you begin to search for ways to repair it or to get another one.
If a road is closed because there is no bridge, only the true idiot continues undeterred. The tiniest modicum of wisdom forces people to find another route.
You can read the signs your car gives you, you can read the signs on the road. How is it that so many do not read the signs of warning in their dilapidated soul?
The philosopher Plato said, “The unexamined life is not worth living”. Isn’t it true, the one who ignores signs of warning encourages a bad day.
Your life is broken. If you don’t know that, you haven’t examined it very closely. Even according to the man Plato, your life then is not worth living. What’s your response to all this?
If a mechanic pulls up to a stop sign next to you and tells you he is willing to fix your falling car for free, wouldn’t he get your interest? Well I’ve pulled up next to you in the body of this message. I know the one who can fix your broken life. His name is Jesus.

Do you believe there is such a thing as a 24 hour day?
Do you believe that seven of them make a week?
How about a month, a year, 10 years, a hundred years, and so on?
Do you believe that there is such a thing as a million years?
Do you believe there is such a thing as a billion years, or even a trillion?
Do you believe there is such a thing as a never ending time, that thing called eternity?
How long do you expect to live?
What’s going to happen to you after you are dead?
Eternity is a smidge bit longer than you will live here, isn’t it?
Do you think it might be good to find out everything you can regarding what happens after death?
How many people do you know that have even looked into this?
If you have studied at length in regard to this life, have you studied at all in regard to Eternity?
Do you think it’s strange that people are so ignorant about such an important issue?
Isn’t it funny how people just accept the popular belief about these things, and don’t bother to look into them themselves?
Those people who are in charge of damage control, often take a close look at the worst case scenario. By doing this they often avoid the lesser troubles.
When it comes to the volume of religions on this world, I suggest that you take a look at Christianity. There you will find much adeu about Hell, or at best complete annihilation.
What possible scenario could be worse than spending eternity in a place of agony and torment?
I know there’s a lot of people who would say I am completely insane to even suggest these things. What if the remote possibility says, “I’m right”?

The work of God among us
Is the saving of unholy souls.
Who is willing to join him
In his Holy and righteous work?
First to those who believe,
That they may understand.
And then to the masses,
Who lack understanding,
That they too might “become”.
Who will respond to the call of God?
Who will fulfill his desire?
With blazing strength he will clothe,
With the fearlessness of fire.
When the Son of man returns,
Will he find “The Faith” on the earth?
The call of Ezekiel
Belongs to God’s people.
Ezekiel 3: 17-21

“If you love me you will keep My commandments.”
The size of the harvest is given into the hands of men.
Are we not commanded to go to the field and work?
