The Wrath Of God

You Are In Danger

Here is another excerpt from Mark Driscoll's Heaven and Hell sermon.

Hell Was Made To Protect Us

There has been a lot of talk over the last few weeks about the reality of Hell, of whether Hell is eternal, and if anyone will actually go there; or since God is love will we all just end up in Heaven?

Well the Bible tells us that Hell is a real place and that there are many who will end up there. But Hell was not created for people. As Mark Driscoll points out in this clip, Hell was created for the devil and his angels, at its purpose it to protect us.

God loves us, but God is also holy and He is just. Therefore sin must be paid for. We can either pay for it ourselves in Hell, or we can humbly come to Jesus in repentance and faith accepting the payment that He made on the cross. My prayer is that you do the latter.

Christians Embracing Heresy???

Have you heard about the book The Shack, by William P. Young? This book is the hot new book in Christianity, it is being endorsed by some pretty big names in the church, and it is promoting heresy.

Eugene Peterson, author of The Message said:

When the imagination of a writer and the passion of a theologian cross-fertilize the result is a novel on the order of "The Shack." This book has the potential to do for our generation what John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" did for his. It's that good!

Wow! As good as Pilgrim's Progress??? That's pretty high praise for a book that portrays God as a woman and teaches the heretical view of the Trinity knows as Modalism. We need to exercise some discernment and not embrace every new thing that comes our way, and we need to know the Bible so we can see when something is not right.

Tim Challies, in his review of this book, wrote:

Because of the sheer volume of error and because of the importance of the doctrines reinvented by the author, I would encourage Christians, and especially young Christians, to decline this invitation to meet with God in The Shack. It is not worth reading for the story and certainly not worth reading for the theology.

This is good advice.

If you want some more information about this book, here is a video from Mark Driscoll talking about the problems in The Shack, and he nails it.

Mark Driscoll On Predestination

Here is a video of a sermon by Mark Driscoll that I just finished listening to and I highly recommend it to anyone who has questions about predestination; Mark does an awesome job of tackling this often heated topic.
