To Claim That Hell Is Not 'Eternal Torment' Is To Downplay The Entire Gospel Message

 To Claim That Hell Is Not 'Eternal Torment' Is To Downplay The Entire Gospel Message - harbingerdaily.com

------------------------

The gospel is not, "Repent and believe on our Lord Jesus Christ, or you won't get to go to heaven." Hopefully Kirk Cameron will rethink his views on hell and come around to accepting the biblical view - that hell is eternal punishment in literal hellfire for all those who reject our Lord Jesus and His gospel.

"It would be dreadful to suffer this fierceness and wrath of Almighty God for one moment; but you must suffer it to all eternity. There will be no end to this exquisite horrible misery. When you look forward, you shall see a long forever, a boundless duration before you which will swallow up your thoughts, and amaze your souls, and you will absolutely despair of ever having any deliverances, any end, any mitigation, any rest at all; and you will know certainly that you must wear out long ages, millions and millions of ages, in wrestling and conflicting with this Almighty merciless vengeance; and then when you have so done, when many ages have actually been spent by you in this manner, you will know that it is all but a point to what remains. So that your punishment will indeed be infinite."  - Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

If You Were Hoping That Trump Would Tone Down His Remarks on Rob Reiner, Think Again

 If You Were Hoping That Trump Would Tone Down His Remarks on Rob Reiner, Think Again - msn.com

--------------------------------

Yes, President Trump should have just said a kind word to the family of Rob Reiner and left it at that. But this just goes to prove that we did not elect a politician - a person who is going to put his finger to the wind to see what the most popular thing is that he should say. Instead, he just said what was on his mind 

And besides, if it had been President Trump who had been murdered, do you think there would be a lot of "kind words" coming from the left? I don't think so. There would be dancing in the streets! And Rob Reiner would have been the first person to put on his dancing shoes!

The Briefing for Monday, August 25, 2025, by Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

Dr. Mohler gives a wonderful tribute to the late Dr. John McArthur. And he ends by saying that in the last week the church has lost 2 giant warriors - Dr. John MacArthur and Dr. James Dobson. And he prays that God will rise up warriors to take their place. Amen!

 The Briefing for Friday, August 15, 2025, by Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

Excerpt from this last Briefing: Dr. Mohler is asked why Christian ministers aren't better at doing exorcisms. He says, on the one hand, it is impossible for Christians to be demon possessed. And for the non-Christian, demon possession is the least of their problems!

Amen!

Here is a Hymn Based on Psalm 8: Lord, Our Lord, Thy Glorious Name

Lord, Our Lord Thy Glorious Name

"(To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.) O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!" - Psalm 8

A Malediction

The judges sat outside the law, And in their pride no evil saw
In setting teeth to Satan's jaw, And feeding him our children.

A curse, a curse, the law it cries, A curse, a curse, on mankind's pride
A curse on him who would deny, God's image in mankind.

When viewed in terms of cost and ease, An unborn child is a disease
A holocaust soon fit to please, Our own convenience.

Torn from out their mother's womb, Denied the sky, denied the tomb
Conceived in lust to their own ruin, A sacrifice to pleasure.

A Curse, a curse their blood cries out, A curse, a curse the heavens shout!
A curse on him who dares to flout, God's image in mankind.

The doctors with their blood-red hands, Who loved their money more than man.
With greed their god they lay their plan, The butchers of mankind.

Oh, rid us of this evil Lord, And turn our hearts by cross or sword
Our nation cannot long afford, To live beneath your anger.

A Curse, a curse upon their heads, O, save them Lord, or slay them dead!
And fill our country with your dread, And turn away your anger.

Note: This daily sermon for the hearing impaired is dedicated to my good friend, David J. Bishop, who went home to be with his Lord Jesus on July 1, 2021. David was the inspiration for me to begin posting links to sermons for the hearing impaired. David's not deaf anymore. And the first words he heard were from our Lord Jesus, saying to him, "Well done, David, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of thy Lord!" [Matthew 25:21]

Here is one of the last pictures David sent to me before he died. He was a big sports fan and LOVED the Seattle Seahawks! He was also a BIG baseball fan. I'm sure if David had been able to hear he would have loved the song, Take Me Out to the Ball Game! But David loved our Lord Jesus much, much, much more than any sporting event! Oh, here is a video of Take Me Out to the Ball Game in American Sign Language! (ASL)

The following quote about John Wesley has been attributed to Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892):

"Most atrocious things have been spoken about the character and spiritual condition of John Wesley, the modern prince of Arminians. I can only say concerning him, that while I detest many of the doctrines which he preached, yet for the man himself, I have a reverence second to no Wesleyan; and if there were wanted two apostles to be added to the number of the twelve, I do not believe that there could be found two men more fit to be so added than George Whitfield and John Wesley. the character of John Wesley stands beyond all imputation for self-sacrifice, zeal, holiness, and communion with God; he lived far above the ordinary level of common Christians, and was one of whom the world was not worthy."
