On Hell

Let's face it. Hell is not a subject that most of us love to preach about. But preach we must. Jesus warned of the coming judgment and Hell more than anyone in the New Testament. To not follow his example is to do spiritual violence to those around us. I'm not calling for Hell to be injected into all of our sermons and conversations. In fact, if it gives you pleasure to speak of the torments of Hell then perhaps you ought not be the one doing it. That said, we must not be embarrassed by the bible's teaching on the final judgment and Hell. Nor should we be dismayed. God's wrath is a proper expression of his justice and holiness, attributes for which we worship Him.

The following articles and books are helpful in not only deepening our understanding of Hell but may also serve to aid us in our communication of this sober reality.
