How Willingly Do People Go to Hell?
John Piper addresses one of the problems with C.S. Lewis’ teaching on hell. “What sinners want is not hell but sin. That hell is the inevitable consequence of unforgiven sin does not make the consequence desirable. It is not what people want–certainly not what they ‘most want.’ Wanting sin is no more equal to wanting hell than wanting chocolate is equal to wanting obesity.

Free Sermons on Amillennialism

This CD will be mailed directly and we only ask that you cover the cost of shipping.”

So it is worth checking in daily, especially around Christmas. You never know what you’ll find.
