Hal Lindsey was a New York Times best selling author back in the 1970s and 1980s.  Most of his books centered around eschatological (end time) prophecies in the Bible regarding the rapture (catching away) of the church and the coming great tribulation (Matthew 24:21) that will usher in the end of the world, and the […]

I had planned this post to address God’s final judgement and ultimate penalty for sin, namely consignment to Hell, or what is referred to in Revelation 20:10-15, as “the lake of fire”, and to argue for the justness and righteousness of such a penalty.  However, I determined that Hell can wait, as I would like

My nephew is a big sports enthusiast. A few years ago, in trying to help him understand the Gospel, I began with the “Fall”, Adam’s and our rejection of God’s purpose for and rule over our life, and the all-pervasive, devastating consequences this had on all of God’s good creation – mankind in particular.  As
