A trip to Hell on the way to Heaven?
What if we’re on the way to Heaven – and we have to take a detour? A trip to Hell. Some think the Bible says Jesus went to Hell during the time between His death on the cross and His resurrection on the third day – what we now know as Easter. So why not us?

Do you want to be immortal?
Since this is about looking at ourselves, let’s look in the mirror and ask the person we see there, Do you want to be immortal? To be honest, if it’s about being immortal in this word, the way it is and where it seems to be going, saying yes is very hard. I think most of us know there’s something wrong with this world. And we want something better, even though we don’t seem to be able to do anything to keep it from getting even worse.

The Way Back Home
The Way Back Home. But the way back home from where? And to where? I first wrote this one back on October 25, 2013. I cried when I wrote it. It still makes me cry. Even when I hear this song now, it’s got a whole added meaning to it beyond the obvious words. And today, March 3, 2021, I’m publishing it again.
Get some kleenex, and see a deeper message in this amazing song – The Way Back Home.
Why do you live? The economy or God?
Why do you live? The economy or God? Really, that question comes down to who’s your “god”? Do you live for the god of money – the economy? Or for the God of the Bible? It’s a question that starts at the top – sort of. With our president – Trump. And now it’s filtering down through our governmental leaders. Which brings in yet another “god” – the god of government.
In spite of the fact that Trump call himself the greatest president ever for Christians, there has to be a question as to who is his real “god”. And now, enter Dan Patrick, Lt. Governor of Texas. A Republican. Let’s look at a news article on msn.com, titled Dan Patrick says he is willing to risk his own life to allow economy to resume.

Will we be married in Heaven?
Will we be married in Heaven? That’s a tough question. And many people don’t really like the easy answer. That easy answer, of course is, no we won’t be married in Heaven. And that’s because Jesus said, The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage …
But is that too easy? Actually, yes, it’s way too easy. Partly because the quote is taken completely out of context. And also because it completely ignores the cultural differences between Biblical times and many parts of the world today. Further, it completely disregards the reason marriage and divorce were even instituted in the first place.

A trip to Hell – on the way to Heaven
Think about this as part of our trip to Hell. Not after we’re dead – not while we’re on the way to Heaven – because that’s too late. I say, think about it right now. Well, how about after you finish reading this.
While we’re “visiting” in Hell, we’ll see all of our friends and loved ones who’ve died, and didn’t make ti to Heaven. Now, think about how many of those friends we reached out to while they were alive. How many of them did we share the Gospel with? How many of them did we try to steer away from Hell, but instead put them on their way to Heaven?

The Lord gives and The Lord takes away
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. It’s a pretty common saying. It’s most likely to be used when something bad happens. Like it’s supposed to make people feel better. And it might actually accomplish that goal – if it was told correctly. It’s like the old thing about the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So here’s the truth about the Lord gives and the Lord takes away. It’s true. However, it’s not the whole truth. Therefore, it isn’t actually “nothing but the truth”.

Grown-again Christian
Have you ever heard of a Grown-again Christian? Me neither. But the Apostle Paul did. “But for right now, friends, I’m completely frustrated by your unspiritual dealings with each other and with God. You’re acting like infants in relation to Christ, capable of nothing much more than nursing at the breast.” The Message
Is liberal Christianity signing its own death warrant?
Is liberal Christianity signing its own death warrant? That question was from 2012. Maybe a better question for today is whether Christianity is signing its own death warrant – liberal or otherwise. However, I think the best question is can Christianity sign its own death warrant.
