“We will be judged according to our ability. The retired couple who count the offering every Sunday, never divulging the amount anyone in the congregation contributes, will not be tested in the same way as the millionaire who wants an inscription on the stained glass window, so everyone will know who donated it. Some of the most severe tests will be given to the [preachers] for the way in which they handled the Word of God. There will be no reward for leading others astray in lifestyle or in doctrine through false teaching.”

“Last was man. One by one God judged them all; Those who were his He saved for his pleasure, Those who were Satan’s he stomped them as they sprawled, Tossed—t’ burn with their family together. I was last. Alone I stood. Before God of all. I wasn’t his. No! I still wasn't his. It’s all I want’d! Still I lost him—still I'd fall! Still I lost. No, I’d never be his! Angels grabbed my hands and feet and flung me with th’ damned, To lie and let th’ fire burn and through our lungs expand.”
