I fear that if annihilationism is widely accepted by Christians, that will hinder the missionary enterprise. Many people have devoted their lives to bringing the gospel to the unsaved around the globe. Would they continue to do so if they really thought that the worst fate awaiting those who reject Jesus is final extinction? I seriously doubt it. Annihilationists can argue that the obliteration of the wicked is a terrible fate if measured against the bliss of the righteous. But when compared to suffering in hell forever, it is simply not that bad to cease to exist.

It’s a Dying World

You are currently viewing It’s a Dying World

I’ll tell you a horror story
That’s happened in your neighborhood
It’s one of flame and glory
It’s one of evil and good
We’re looking through stained glass windows
We’re looking through angry lives
We’re thinking that the problem’s social
They’ll never realize

It’s a dying world
And we don’t seem to care
A dying world
And they’re crying for help
Though you’ve heard
You’ve been reaching no one
Look how many are going to hell

They’re turning to cults and magic
They’re following Antichrist
Their plight’s eternally tragic
They’ve fallen for Satan’s lies
Take a look at your sons and daughters
Take a look at the shape they’re in
You’ve tasted of living water
Why not share your cup with them

It’s a dying world
And we don’t seem to care
A dying world
And they’re crying for help
Though you’ve heard
You’ve been reaching no one
Look how many are going to hell

Jesus, He died to save them
Jesus, He loves their soul
He wants them for His children
But they don’t know the way to go
He’s calling us to tell them
Let your lives point the way
And if we don’t we’re guilty
Of a crime we cannot repay

To a dying world
That we don’t seem to care
A dying world
And they’re crying for help
Though we’ve heard
We’ve been reaching no one
Look how many are going to hell

It’s a dying world
Hear their crying for help
Look how many are going to hell
