Hell is all but forgotten in many churches today. Jesus taught on this subject many times. On this episode I read an article that was penned by John Thomas.

Self explanatory

There is an old saying that states “an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.” This is also true in the Christian life. May we guard our hearts by spiritually practicing preventive medicine.

We live in a day of spiritual illiteracy. In the USA we take for granted that which we have in our possession, God’s written word. May we not take this for granted and ignore the blessing we have at our fingertips.

To allow hypocrites to keep us from having fellowship with other Christians is a poor excuse to miss church. Does this keep us from other activities. I don’t think so. No, it only keeps us out of church.

No person in history ever suffered like Job with the exception of our Lord Jesus Christ when He was on the cross paying for our sins. What can we learn from Job’s trials.

Jesus not only suffered on the cross, He suffered before the cross. Betrayal by Judas Iscariot, Peter’s denial, disciples denial, his own peoples denial, and to top it off, our denial when we do not act the way we should act. This is something to think about.

In the race called life, as Christ followers, we are going to have good days as well as bad days. The key to success is staying in the race. To win, all we have to do is finish the race. Jesus will help us in our journey to the finish line.

If there was ever a time we needed encouragement, the time is now. Our world is falling apart, or is it. Maybe, everything is falling into place for the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We all worry sometimes, but as the Psalmist said, “ why so downcast oh my soul, I will hope in the LORD.” Hope is found in CHRIST.
