the breezeblock

went to dv8 last night the thing where it all kicked off last month holy spirit style. this month an american guy was preaching, he reminded me of Mr Wolf(played by Harvey Keitel) in pulp fiction (he comes to help Jules and Samuel L jackson when they shoot the guy by accident) anyway his topic? HELL..
i hadnt heard anyone preach on hell in ages, he kinda blew my head off, but there is no getting around it, Jesus chats about it all over the place(luke 16 big chunk), he made a good point that at no point does God ask us to understand it, or when anyone should end up there, but it certainly exists.
God loves everyone on earth whether they acknowledge Him or not, wanting desperately to be in relationship with us, but Jesus didnt just die so we could have a conversation with the Big Man, He gave up His life to save us from an eterity in hell, not some underground place with satan on the decks and loads of wild parties, but a place of torment unimaginably worse than anything this life can throw at us.

this is really heavy and i dont want to condemm anyone, i have messed up my life over and over, but my hope is Jesus and if this is true then i have to tell it, or i do no-one any favours, being nice and avoiding difficult stuff is not really loving anyone.
