All this that we here [in hell] suffer is through you. You should have taught us the things of God, and did not. You should have restrained us from sin and corrected us, and you did not. You were the means of our original corruption and guiltiness, and yet you never showed any competent care that we might be delivered from it. Woe unto us that we had such carnal and careless parents; and woe unto you that had no more compassion and pity to prevent the everlasting misery of your own children.

A Message from our Provider:

“God owns you, and every molecule you have ever touched”

Narrow-minded Christians or is Jesus Christ the ONLY way to heaven? 1. Our fundamental problem with God is our sin. It separates us from His love. In His holiness He is obligated to judge it - now and eternally. ONLY Christ died for the removal of our sin and subsequent forgiveness. 2. Jesus taught it - 'Jesus said to him, ';I am the way, and the truth, and the life; NO ONE comes to the Father, but through ME'' (Jn. 14:6). 3. Of every religious figure, ONLY Christ rose from the dead in the Resurrection and proved His victory over death, the devil and sin. 4. If there were any other way to heaven, why would God send His only Son to die an excruciating death on a cross? 'I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law [doing good works], then Christ died needlessly' (Gal. 2:21). 5. The Bible teaches it - 'And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved' (Ac. 4:12). Is The ONLY Savior YOUR Savior - evidenced by your confession and lifestyle (Lk. 8:21)?
