Crowded is the multilane highway to hell, and every hour is like the peak hour traffic on our busy interstate roads. Millions drop off into that horrible torment called hell every day. At most of our funerals the minister and the people think and say the deceased went to Heaven. But truly most people go to Hell according to the Bible. Listen to what God has to say about it in Matthew 7:13-14. “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait (narrow) is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life (Heaven), and few there be that find it.” Well, the Word of God says only a few are going to Heaven.

Most people have not really been saved and know Jess Christ as their personal Saviour. Hell is running over with folks who went to church and did everything that they thought a Christian was supposed to do, but they were lost because they were never born again. Jesus said in John 3:7 “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” Our natural birth gets us into the world, but we must have a new birth in Christ to get to Heaven. Have you experienced that transformation? We need more than a new leaf, we need a new life. The reason so many of our local churches have so little or no power is because too many lost people have been elected to run them. The blind cannot lead the blind! It takes Christians to do Christian work!

While we rejoice that God still has some born again pastors who do a great work, there are some unconverted ones who lead the sheep astray. Some will preach what the sheep want to hear rather than preach what they need.
