Erasing Hell

Whether or not you agree with his book  Love Wins, Rob Bell has done us a service by re-starting a most important discussion on a topic that affects everyone….Hell.  Rob has turned a corner in the world of faith towards a belief that a good God would not send someone to Hell for eternal punishment….that we are all going to get a second chance even after we die.

I just finished reading Francis Chan’s response to Rob Bell’s book titled Erasing Hell.  Now, let’s face it.  Hell is a very unpopular subject.  You rarely even hear the word in church on Sunday mornings, and us Christians act like we don’t believe it’s a reality.  Come on.  Don’t we?

I mean, if you really believed that those without Jesus go to Hell, what sort of behavioral change might there be in your life?  Would your conversations change?  Or would things just stay status quo?

Francis Chan’s book is nothing less than a gift to the body of Christ, and should be read by everybody.  There are probably less than five books that I have ever said that about.  His book is well researched, well thought out….and thoroughly Scriptural.  That doesn’t mean that I agree with every statement he makes, but I see the basic premise of the book as essential to be understood by every living and breathing person.

When you have ten minutes, go to www.erasinghell.com and watch Francis talk about this new book.  It may be the most important online video you have ever watched.
