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. Or wanting cigarettes is equal to wanting cancer.”

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

I was one of many speakers at a counseling conference and, at some point, the speakers were invited to join together for a group activity. We were given the option:…
