“I’m gonna ask you a question. Do you think God would give His only begotten Son for this World?…Just think…Look at the world you live in, how rotten it is.”
--Louis Farrakhan speaking at the American Clergyman Conference in May 2011

Not a day has gone by in the past year that has not brought with it thoughts of my father. I greatly miss him and always will.
I once again urge you, as I did in one phone call, (click to read ) to let those around you know how much you love them and are blessed by them. Find a moment to make amends to those who have wronged you, and let your heart be broken for those you have hurt.
May you have a propensity towards peace and a passion for sharing the gospel not only with your lips but with your life as well. Has anyone so hurt you or committed such a sin as to negate you sharing the love of Christ with them?
Never let your mind entertain such an evil notion, Christ died for all and He desires that none should perish.
God bless dear friends, and remember to examine your lives each and every day.

A quick poem
Just a quick poem I wrote in notepad. Forgive the cheesy YouTube video, but it is easier to upload a video than just audio actually.

God is Love? : Hell is Real?
A heartless halo? Is God Love? Why Hell?
09:26AM: One of the most unpopular doctrines in all of Christendom is Hell. How can a loving, merciful God allow a place of eternal punishment to exist? There are many theories and there is much conjecture on the subject, I will post some of the more popular ones.
Hell is real
Though God is love, he is also just and pure. He cannot look upon sin. He justly gives us a chance to accept the sacrifice of His Son, Christ. If we do not, due to His holy nature, He has no choice but to punish sin. If He did not, than He would be going against His very nature (just, fair). This theory also presumes all men and women are immortal.
Annihilationism
A minority doctrine that states rather than Hell, sinners are simply destroyed, ie.. annihilated. Therefore, this doctrine believes that only Christians are immortal, whereas lost souls are not immortal.
Another version of this theory holds there is also no Heaven or Hell; no one is eternal and we simply cease to be when we die.
Hell is not real
This doctrine is part of something known as Universalism. In a nutshell, it holds that all people, regardless of religion or belief in Christ are going to heaven. There is no place of eternal punishment for the wicked.
Points to ponder from all sides:
If God is love, why does Hell exist?
If Hell is not real, Why did Christ speak on it more than Heaven?
If we all go to Heaven, why not be wicked? Is there punishment for them?
