Thus it is in hell; they would die, but they cannot. The wicked shall be always dying but never dead; the smoke of the furnacedascends for ever and ever. Oh! who can endure thus to be ever upon the rack? This word "ever" breaks the heart. Wicked men do now think the Sabbaths long, and think a prayer long; but oh! how long will it be to lie in hell for ever and ever?

—Thomas Watson

Can you grasp the reality of the severity of everlasting hell? I truly can not and even if I could it would not compare to the sheer pain and eternal agony. How can we not share the JOY that we have because of the hope of glory with those who are on the wide road to this eternal hell. We are so consumed in our own lives and in the business of them that we easly forget about all of these lost souls wandering around us. Are we called to preach the gospel to these lost souls? Of course we are. It is time that we understand deeply the consequences of not reaching out and preaching the gospel. We are here to display His glory to all of those around us making His invisible character visible.

For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." But how are they to call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

Rom 10:13-15

JOYfully in Him,
