This is Carter Conlon. The gospel of Matthew chapter 25 and verse 30 has some fearful words in it. Words from the mouth of Jesus, and here they are, “And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“

Every description of hell in the Bible is a fearful one. From wrath, to fire, to anguish, to thick darkness, to pitiful unanswered pleading; every description speaks of one thing, the absence of God.

Because God is everywhere present in this world even the vilest sinner doesn’t understand what it’s like to be where God is not. Just like the air around us today, we take it for granted until suddenly it’s gone. Pray for the sinner. No one has to be cast into an eternity without God.

This is Carter Conlon, reminding you, it’s time to pray!
