saw... "Hell's best kept secret"

I absolutely recommend seeing the video, "hell's best kept secret" on "The Way of the Master."
Kirk Cameron is bringing witnessing back to the way it should be presented.

How do we share the gospel? How do we show people that Christ has what they need? Everyone says..."i'm a good person, I'll go to heaven."

Instead of helping people see their sin, by showing them the "law", and where they've fallen short, so many preachers and evangelists are trying to "sell" Jesus to them. They're just making claims that Christ will make people's life better, that they'll be happier in Jesus. But the Bible assures us that even when we've trusted in Christ, we'll have trials, we'll be made fun of.

The reason that "Now is the time of salvation" is because we're all going to die. We all fall short of the law. Just look at the 10 commandments. God gave us the 10 commandments to show us that we all fall short of the rightousness that is required in order to go to heaven. We've all lied at one time. We've all coveted other's posessions at one time. We've all put other things as more important to us than God. The list goes on.

So, before a righteous and holy God, we all deserve hell. He is a just Judge. We would not respect a judge that didn't follow the law, or let people get away with doing wrong. "all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." "the wages of sin is death (separation from God in Hell.)"

Christ is our answer. "in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He gave his blood as the payment to God for the sins we've done. He offers us life in heaven, if we'll repent (admit, and turn from) of our sins, and take His gift of free salvation once and for all. "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just for forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." "for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation."

We will, in fact have peace and joy, but that will be because we'll know that all the trials here on earth will be worth it, because we're "saved from the wrath to come." We know that heaven's our home, no matter how hard this life is.

Hi,

I enjoyed your blog. It is good to find someone who still believes that the Bible is the true word of God and that there are not alternate life styles. That IT IS SIN!
