“When Jesus came to earth, demons recognized him, the sick flocked to him, and sinners doused his feet and head with perfume. Meanwhile he offended pious Jews with their strict preconceptions of what God should be like. Their rejection makes me wonder, could religious types be doing just the reverse now?

“Dear lost sinner, if you are a wicked sinner, yet you do not have to die and go to Hell forever. If you are a criminal or a harlot, a blasphemer, a drunkard, a convict, or a dope fiend, God does not want you to go to Hell. People do not go to Hell simply because they are sinners. Rather they go because they will not repent of their sins! If you today will confess your sins to God, and in your poor, helpless heart, will, as far as you know how, turn away from your sin, God will have mercy and will forgive and save.” PeopleIfsKnowsWantHeartDoeGodTodayChristianDiesTurnsLostReligiousSinPoorLordKnow HowHellForeverForgivenessMercyForgivingDearCriminalsChristian InspirationalGods WillWickedSinnerRepentanceEditorsTrust In GodConfessionHelplessPastorRepentAlcoholicsConfidence In GodDopeGo To HellGod Within UsMighty GodDrunkardsConvictsConnecting With GodSave YourselfGod Help MeHarlots Book:The Ruin of a Christian Source: The Ruin of a Christian
