Many churches nowadays try to soften the subject of hell, skirt around it, or even offer false doctrine about it in an attempt to avoid discomfort. I want to tell you that God never wants us to be afraid, but He also doesn’t want us to ignore the reality of this awful place — we need that knowledge so we can be filled with compassion for the lost. If you need an honest wake-up call about the reality of hell, then I encourage you to read my article this month. I want to make it clear just how horrible this place is, but I also want to encourage you that no one has to end up there — we have a solution!
