What does Hell look like?


As a kid growing up in a Christian family, I was frankly scared out of my wits by the idea of Hell.  You might think that fear is a negative thing for any kid to live with but you have to admit that fear of fire, spiders and snakes might save a kid from a nasty accident.

Even now as a person who has completely turned her life over to following Christ, I still 'work out my salvation with fear and trembling' (See Philippians 2:12).

So how do I know that Hell is even a real place?
1)  The Bible says it is and I believe the Bible for a multitude of rational, thought out reasons, but that's another blog.
2)  Because of YouTube.

VISIONARY ON FOOT

You've got to be seriously amazed by Pastor Joshua of Hyderabad, India...  Amazed by his church(es), orphanage and rehab sewing centre for used-to-be prostitutes.  In the two short months since I was there, he's already half built a new church in a village with not much more than a pocketful of loose change. Be inspired that he walks mega distances through heavy jungle to a village where he knows he could be hurt...BAD.  Out of his bag, he takes some low tech equipment and shows Jesus movies at the side of the road with the goal of converting people to Christ and building a church there.  I'm amazed that after being beaten and stoned four times in villages, he keeps going back.  That's vision!
