Heaven – Hell

Silencing the Preaching of Judgment

To silence a preacher from preaching judgment is like being awoke from sleep by a fire alarm, and just silencing the alarm, and going back to sleep.

Thinking of the Next World – CS Lewis

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this [one].”

Nature of Christ’s Salvation – AW Pink

“The nature of Christ’s salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from Hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.”

The Only Heaven I Want Is Where Jesus Is – Edward Griffin

Whom have I in heaven but Thee? The only heaven I wish above is but to see Thy face. Let others form confused ideas of the upper world, and desire it as a place where something is to be enjoyed, they know not what; but I know what a heaven I desire. Could I ascend to the highest heavens and find the presence of my God withdrawn, it would be no heaven for me. The only reason I pant to ascend above the sun and all these ruinable worlds, is that I may bask in the sunshine of His smiles, and forever behold the source of Light without one envious cloud between. Let me but sit at His feet and gaze upon His lovely face, and cry, with unutterable wonder and gratitude, “My Lord and my God,” and I ask no more.

Seek First the Kingdom of God – Hudson Taylor

Are we not told to seek first the Kingdom of God—not the means to advance it—and that “all these things” shall be added to us? Such promises are surely sufficient.

Where Is Our Focus? – John Owen

We all profess that we are bound for heaven, immortality, and glory: but is it any evidence that we really design it if all our thoughts are consumed about the trifles of this world, which we must leave behind us, and have only occasional thoughts of things above?

Can You Sit At Ease? – Leonard Ravenhill

Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry?
Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die?
Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand?
Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you DAMNED?
