PLUNGED INTO HELL
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Mark 15:34

In the last couple decades a controversy has arisen among Christians over the existence of Hell. A startling number of Christian theologians have gone to great lengths trying to demonstrate that a good God would not prepare a place of eternal punishment for condemned sinners—Hell.

Yet, a recent opinion poll taken among North Americans indicates that more people believe in hell today than back in the 1950s. In 1952 about 58 percent of the public believed in hell. Today the figure is 60 percent.

I don’t put much stock in polls, but I do believe there is a hell. I believe this because Jesus has been there.

“Man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.” Deuteronomy 8:3.

This post is a shameless plug for the support of a seminary.  As we come to the close of the year, many people receive a flurry of appeals from various institutions and causes for monetary support. Many of these causes are truly worthy of our support.  But of all those causes worthy of our gifts, I would  like to suggest that faithful seminaries are among the most worthy of your consideration. I say that in part because of these Spirit-inspired words of Moses.

We are pleased to announce our annual Vacation Bible School. It will take place June 11-15, 2012. The theme for this year’s VBS is “Olympion.” We will start each day at 9:30am and go until 12:30pm, except on Friday June 15, when we will close with a program for all children and family/friends at 12 noon.
