[image]Well, last night was a good night!

Went to church and gave my talk on the existence of Heaven and Hell. Had a good crowd show up. Unfortunately, as usual, I had far more prepared than I could deliver in 45-minutes. :: Sigh ::

So, I’ve put the entire manuscript online, and it’s available on my PulpitRodent page.

Some comments I received: My wife noted that she really liked the section on proofs and whether we require the same high level of evidence for most of the things we believe as we do for religious things. She mentioned that it was the kind of thing that once I said it, she felt a “Well, duh!” sort of reaction. The kind of thing you always know, but don’t always articulate. I liked that.

Someone else told me they didn’t know Christ delivered more teaching on Hell and avoiding it than he did on Heaven, that really struck them. A couple guys (Tim and Dave) stayed late and wanted to find out what the best resources were, because they wanted to do a small group study on the topic. Very good.

All in all, it went well, and nobody picked a fight with me. I guess that’s good, right? No audio. They weren’t taping, and I forgot to bring my PDA to record with.

Next week, my friend Dr. Steve Badger talks about “Magic or Miracles” and he asks what Harry Potter, The DaVinci Code, and St. Luke have to do with each other. Should be fun!

If you’re not in the area read the article on his website. It’s worth it.

Rich,

Just read your sermon. A few years back I remembered an author promoting her book on people who died, went to Heaven and came back to tell the wonder and beauty they saw. when asked about Hell she stated in fact she came apon many of those stories, but left them out of the book to keep it positive. My heart breaks in countless ways for those who have a Hell story, and sadly cannot come back to tell it.
