Sound teaching, hard passages, prophecy, and errors to avoid.
Be worried if you feel nothing. Feeling nothing is not an achievement of freedom from worrying. Feeling nothing could be an eternally fatal malady. Feeling nothing could be a final stage of eternal spiritual and then physical death. What does it mean to feel nothing?
Wisdom is slow but sure. We love rushing but it is not wisdom. The Bible tells us not to rush and wait since a solution is en route. Do not rush to permanent relationship, do not rush…

Families would like to reach a point where there is no needy person amongst them. Neighbors would be glad if they could declare that there is no needy person among them. A community would have achieved something that is almost impossible if they can truly announce to the world that there is no needy person among them. Governments would be glad to say that there are no needy persons in their jurisdictions. Religious organizations would feel a huge sense of credibility if there would be no needy persons among them. There were no needy persons among them!

If Hell burns forever, God will have to designate a place in His universe where satan, his angels, and sinners will be burning from. If Hell burns forever, then evil will still be existing in God’s universe only that it will be burning but not completely eradicated. If Hell burns forever then it means the all-knowing God will be okay with a situation where He knows there are creatures suffering in some fire somewhere in His universe.
What are you, mighty mountain? This question is directed to the mountain. This question does not expect an answer from the mountain. The one asking is actually showing the epitome of contempt to the mountain. What are you, mighty mountain?
