Have you heard of this book?
Evidently many have to the point that blogs and articles and TV shows are abuzz about it. Even Time Magazine has the author, Pastor Rob Bell, on its cover.
What the big deal?
In this book, Pastor Bell can't imagine that God would let anyone suffer an eternity in hell. Furthermore, he surmises, because God is God and can do pretty much whatever he wants, and we know that God wants everyone to have abundant life. . .ergo, Love Wins. In other words, everyone eventually, will go to heaven. God's love is so overwhelming that everyone will embrace Jesus as Lord and Savior either during this life or in the life to come.
You either love this stuff or hate it. Which one?
We are going to talk about it during a three part book study on Wednesday evenings on May 11, 18 and 25. Please join me in the Forum at 7:00. Since Wednesdays Together will be over by then, you will have to arrange your own child care and dinner.
So, buy the book, read through it (it's a fast read) and bring your A Game to this lively, heated and controversial subject.
Peace,
Pastor Scott
