Some people believe that if God loves them, that's enough to secure their way to heaven. If someone deeply loves you, does that mean they can override your free will? Can they force you to love them back? A parent may deeply love their adult child, but that child can still choose to rob a bank and end up in jail. The parent loves them, but the child's actions determined their future. The parents never desired this outcome, nor could they stop their foolish decision. The parent's great love can't stop the wheels of justice from sending their child to jail just as God cannot force a person into loving and obeying Him. Listen as Bill and Annette dig deeper into the topic of God's love for mankind, and man's freewill.

Have you ever thought about why some Christians seem to be more fruitful or spiritually productive while others are not? There are many reasons, but we will focus on one – a lack of knowledge and understanding of God's word. This ties to a lack of respect or value placed on God's word. In Mark 4 and Matthew 13, Jesus clearly explains this most important parable to understand. He describes how God's word is the seed. The soil is a person's heart. The condition of the soil, or the condition of a person's heart, determines the result. We need to realize (as the devil does) that the more strength, health, and provision we have, the more people we can reach with God's truth. After all, you can't feed the poor if you can't even pay your own bills. You can't travel to preach the Gospel if you are sick. And we can't hear God's voice if we live in a state of stress and unrest. These benefits only come from time spent in God's word. Listen as Bill and Annette provide deeper biblical insight, and motivate us to study and value God's word above all else.

The most terrifying moment a human being could experience is to be found guilty before the Lord Jesus Christ, the Supreme Judge at the great White Throne Judgment, and then be cast into hell. Jesus makes it clear in the Bible that it is not just people who commit the act of murder who are in danger of judgment, but also those who have a murderous intent in the heart. This heart attitude begins with anger. The three forms of anger first come from a person's emotions, then progresses to the mind, and then finally it enters his heart. We all need to control our anger. Believers have the power of the Holy Spirit to do this but it's our choice whether we yield to Him or not. If we allow anger to go unchecked, it will only grow and evolve and eventually open the door to a demonic spirit, putting us in great danger.

Many unbelievers see God as harsh, demanding and dull. Religion is to blame for this false perception of God. Satan has influenced millions of people to believe that faith in God is boring and restrictive. The truth is that when we enter into a personal relationship with God, His Spirit transforms the human heart. He heals our emotions and our bodies, delivers people from drugs and alcohol, sets them free from demonic oppression, and even raises the dead. This is what can take place in God's presence! Once we encounter this loving, relational, almighty God our lives are forever changed. Passionate believers who are born again become excited to come together in God's presence, deter people from living a life without purpose, and lead them to a loving, exciting relationship with Jesus Christ.

Most of history is based on eyewitness accounts. This is always the most credible and factual establishment of what took place at any given time in history. The four main proofs of the resurrection of Jesus Christ are these: 1. The empty tomb. The tomb was sealed and guarded by Roman soldiers who would lose their life if the body was stolen. 2. The eyewitnesses. Many saw Jesus, ate with Him, touched Him, and spent time with Him. The New Testament was written when most of the eyewitnesses were still living. 3. The transformed apostles after His resurrection. The eleven apostles went from living in fear of the religious leaders to boldly proclaiming Jesus in the face of persecution or even death. 4. The 300 Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by Jesus.

There are many examples in the Bible of demons afflicting people – sometimes with sickness. We are not saying that all sickness is demonic, but there are more illnesses than one might think that can be caused by a demon. In this podcast episode, we share several true accounts recorded in the Bible of sickness brought on by demons, and sickness brought on by sin. Learn to understand and know the difference and how to avoid both.

There are 34 dreams and 35 visions in the Bible. God can and will speak to us this way, and when it is from God the dream or vision will never contradict the Bible. The vision or dream we receive will also stay with us and we will remember the details clearly. It's important to know that God warns and speaks to both believers and unbelievers alike. Dreams can also be the result of what we are focused on such as social media, news, situations we are dealing with in life, and even medication. Not every dream is from God. It's important to understand this too. *For further in-depth teaching on this topic, we have a video titled, “Are Visions and Dreams for Today?” at our website www.23minutesinhell.org. In this podcast episode, Bill shares his own dreams and visions from God...and these came long before his 23 minutes in hell vision.

We know that within our local prisons are people who can hardly bear the understanding that they are committed to prison for years, or even for life. Can you imagine being locked up for all eternity? To have no relief, no escape, no reprieve is unthinkable. In addition, the prison cells in hell are not like those in local prisons. In hell the cells are filthy, smoke filled, rock enclosed dungeons. They are far worse than anything on earth. In this podcast episode, Bill shares his terrifying moments waking up in a prison cell in hell...and how his experience helped saved a young man's life.

Many people who are influenced by demons are not even aware of it, or don't even believe in the demonic realm. In addition, most don't realize the subtle way that demonic powers work. The Bible tells us Satan can transform himself into an angel of light. This means what is actually dark and demonic may appear fun, good and harmless. In other words, it is a lie. An excellent way to keep the devil out of your life is to be quick to repent, quick to forgive and quick to obey God. This includes living a life that is committed to biblical spiritual growth. Loving God (obeying Him) and loving people will keep us out of the devil's traps. Listen as Bill and Annette share real stories of people who were being affected by demonic forces in their lives or homes.

If you are a Christian and are going through a difficult time, where there seems to be no way out, and you are feeling completely discouraged, there is hope for you. God knows what you are facing. He loves you and wants to help you out of all your troubles, no matter how severe, or no matter what you have done. We need to surrender all of our problems to God, and cast our cares on Him, as it says in 1 Peter 5:7. Paul thought he was dead, but God sent His resurrection power to help him. God can turn our dead-end problems into life-giving victories. We rely on His power to make a way when it appears there is no way. Listen as Bill and Annette share hope and encouragement through stories found in the Bible and from personal experiences as Christ followers.

Envy is an intense emotion. If it's entertained in the mind, and ultimately yielded to, a demonic spirit will come in and influence a person to commit heinous acts. Envy and hatred are closely related. They carries a desire to cause harm, suffering and pain to others. We visibly see envy manifesting through people throughout our world. The person with envy wants what another has and resents them for having it. This would include desiring a person's success, possessions, relationships, position, money and the like which if not resisted, will result in anger, bitterness, hatred, violence and even murder. Listen as Bill and Annette look at the difference between ungodly envy and hatred vs. the jealousy that God has toward any thing that would distract his children from His purpose and presence in their lives.

There is a very small member in our body that boasts great things, yet it is an uncontrolled evil. Why is this small member so important, and why can it be considered evil? Man can tame every creature on the earth, but cannot tame or control the tongue. It is full of poison. Most people don't even try to control their tongue. It takes discipline and an awareness of the power connected with our words. And, that there are consequences with what we say. We need to be people who are slow to speak, and quick to listen yet most do just the opposite. Listen as Bill and Annette look at the importance of understanding how our words impact our lives for the good or bad.

The purpose of this podcast is to help us understand why Christians must walk more in the fear of the Lord and obey God's commands. Many people say they love God, but they don't fear Him. To fear Him means you respect God enough to obey whatever He says in His word. The Bible gives us many example of God's great love for us and how truly good and forgiving He is. We also read true stories of His severity for those who reject His ways. These true biblical accounts should help us see why we must repent and avoid a sinful lifestyle. You might think that some of these occurrences were too harsh or strict, but God says otherwise. This is the side of God we also need to know. Some of these people were unbelievers and others were God's people Listen as Bill and Annette share biblical insight about God and His character, and the importance of growing in the fear of the Lord.

God has given us a window of time with our new President and administration. However, technology continues to advance on a global scale with AI in the spotlight. There is an AI arms race between China and the U.S. and with other nations competing as well. From Forbes Magazine, Jan 23, 2025: “He's (the President) made it clear that he considers it vital for U.S. national interests that the country maintains its position as a world leader in AI technology. He will definitely be aware of the fact that other countries, most notably China, but also the U.K. and members of the EU, are also pouring huge amounts of investment into research and development...to secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. The focus is AGI. AGI refers to artificial general intelligence, an advanced form of AI beyond what's available today, capable of learning any task, not just tasks that we designed it for.” Listen as Bill and Annette go in to greater detail about the rise of AI, how it may impact our world, and what believers must do in the times we are living in.

During my 23 Minutes in Hell, the vision that God gave me, I only thought of three people. Each person was significant. This showed me that people retain their full memory in hell, just as the rich man in Luke 16 who Jesus told us about. The first person I thought of was my wife. I knew she was up on the surface of the earth, and me far below. I would never see her again, and could not even have the satisfaction of saying goodbye. To have no finality with your loved ones is extremely sorrowful beyond what words can describe. Listen as Bill goes into greater detail about the feelings and memories he experienced in hell, and the two other people he thought of in hell.

Have you ever said, “I can never forgive that person because of what they have done to me?” Many of us have. We've either uttered those words or held on to those thoughts. When we entertain those deadly thoughts, we forget how much Jesus Christ has forgiven us. If we understood the seriousness of our unforgiveness, we would learn to be quick to forgive others. Eventually, it will cause physical harm to our bodies, pollute our soul and possibly jeopardize our eternal destination. Listen as Bill and Annette discuss the biblical importance of forgiveness.

When we share the way of salvation with people who don't know Jesus, they often respond with, ‘You're trying to shove your beliefs down my throat.' No one is forcing a belief on anyone! Sharing the way of salvation with someone is actually the most loving thing a person can do. Why is this a common response from an unbeliever? It can only be that they know they are guilty before their Creator. Their heart condemns them and they are pricked by their conscience. If they were told about any other belief besides Christianity, they wouldn't express such an unreasonable response. Biblical truth reminds us of our sin, just as the symbol of the cross can spark angry emotions. Listen as Bill and Annette discuss the struggle people have with their conscience and why that is, when they hear biblical truth.

In this New Year we have an opportunity to pursue the Lord and to know Him on a deeper level. We can make a fresh commitment to be available to the Holy Spirit's leading and to share the truth about salvation with more people. God has graciously given the world this window of time. May we take advantage of it. Sharing with others about how to avoid hell and gain heaven is the most important issue we all face. Have you ever considered the miraculous events that take place when we share Jesus with others? God will move supernaturally in a variety of ways to reach a person with His love and truth. Listen as Bill and Annette share inspiring true stories of people who witnessed God do miracles when they stepped out in faith to share the Gospel!

Why does the Bible say we are to seek the Kingdom of God? What does the Kingdom consist of? The Kingdom of God, also referred to as the Kingdom of Heaven, includes sharing the gospel (the good news)...about salvation through Jesus Christ. That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. - 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 The gospels record the good news that Jesus preached and demonstrated which also includes physical and mental healing, deliverance from demons, provision, protection, and eternal life! The preaching of the Gospel is to show man the way of salvation, which gives us the only way into heaven...the way to the Kingdom of God!

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. - Hosea 4:6 The Bible demonstrates that God's people were living in rebellion against Him, and God said they will be destroyed because of it. The word “destroyed” carries the meanings “cause to cease, cut off, perish, to be undone.” Their condition was serious. The prophets came to rebuke the sin of the people, and to declare God's coming judgment so they might repent. Is there an area of your life that you are ignoring? Are you rejecting God's knowledge? Perhaps the Lord has been dealing with you to forgive someone. Maybe He wants you to reconcile with another believer, a family member, or neighbor. The Lord may be prompting you to be the bigger person, humble yourself, and apologize. Listen as Bill and Annette share the biblical importance of repentance, and obedience to God's instructions.

Throughout our lives, we will all experience some kind of uncomfortable situation. Starting a new job, moving to a new neighborhood, or meeting new family members through marriage can all feel out of our comfort zone. I experienced something way out of my comfort zone when I began to share the vision God gave me of hell. Most people don't know that I always had a fear of public speaking. My worst class in school was English, because it involved speaking and writing, both of which I disliked. I was not skilled with writing a story, or standing in front of people to deliver a speech, and now I was faced with having to do both. Listen as Bill shares how he overcame that discomfort, going on to make his life's purpose to tell others about what he experienced.

Most of us would like to have favor with God and with man. The question is, "How do we acquire it?" Some people teach that all you have to do is claim it. However, this is not the case. Jesus gave us an example of how we find Godly wisdom in Luke 2:52. It says, “Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” Notice Jesus grew in wisdom. Wisdom is the principal thing, then favor will come after attaining it. This is the first and most important step. Scripture also indicates that a life of humility, and truthfulness, and living in a Godly manner will cause us to find favor. Listen as Bill and Annette share what the Bible teaches on the topic of finding favor in God's sight.

We are very grateful that many Americans woke up to the world around us, which was clearly seen in our historic election last week. The Lord was merciful to us and to our nation. As Christians, we are called to walk in the fear of the Lord, discern good from evil, and hate what God hates. This is reflected in how we live, which includes how we vote. There are very specific behaviors that God hates. As you read and hear them, ask yourself these questions: Do I hate them too? Am I guilty of any of these sins? Do I need to repent of any?

It's hard to believe that there are Christians, and even Biblical scholars, who still insist that the fires of hell are neither painful, nor meant for eternal torment. They have decided for themselves that the fires are intended for consumption and destruction. Revelation 21:8 says the unbelieving…and all liars…shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. The lake of fire is burning, and unbelievers will be cast into it. How could a burning lake of fire not involve pain? Why would this be stated as a threat if there was no ongoing pain and burning? In Matthew 23:33 Jesus said to the Pharisees, "How can you escape the damnation of hell?” He told us there is no escaping damnation. To say that the fires of hell are meant for consumption, and not eternal torment, is to be ignorant of the scriptures. Listen as Bill and Annette give more biblical insight on this topic.

Bill and Annette discuss a dream Bill experienced in 2001. This dream took place before Bill had written his book, 23 Minutes In Hell. They explain what the dream represented, the Spirit of destruction they witnessed, and why we must be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and the ways in which He communicates with us. As Christians, we must be watchful and spiritually alert, discerning the times and seasons. God's warnings are for our protection. We also have powerful promises from the Bible that we can pray over our families and our lives for protection and deliverance from harm.

The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ gives us a detailed account of what to expect in the last days. It is the revelation of Jesus Christ's second coming, and His wrath being executed upon earth's inhabitants. It describes the world leader known as the Antichrist, who is possessed by Satan, and makes war against those who become Christian during the seven-year tribulation period. It details the wrath of Jesus Christ (the Lamb), and the wrath of Satan against believers, and against Israel. It also describes the wrath of God poured out in full measure. Revelation also speaks to us of hell. It tells us that anyone not found written in the Book of Life will be "cast into the lake of fire.” This will be the most terrifying experience for every person that chose to ignore Jesus Christ and thereby reject Him.

A recent Barna pole shows that only 51% of all faith voters are likely to vote in November. That means 104 million faith voters are unlikely to vote this election—including 32 million regular Christian church attenders. How can a Christian be indifferent to one of the most critical elections of our lifetime? Some believers spiritualize the election and refrain from voting saying, “the gospel is more important than politics.” Guess what? Christians may lose the freedom and privilege we have to preach the gospel depending on which candidate becomes president. In Communist China, they are prohibited from teaching the Bible. In Islamic countries, they will receive the death penalty if caught preaching the gospel. Will you rise up and vote to protect our religious freedoms if nothing else? Thousands of people have died for us to have the right to vote. We must do our part and vote for the candidate whose track record most aligns with biblical values. If you don't vote, your silence equals consent. “The Bible says in Proverbs 29:2, ‘when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan." Listen as Bill and Annette share more on the political positions held by the two presidential candidates. There is a clear difference believers must recognize in choosing the next president of the United States.

Whenever we face trials and difficulties, the devil will make us feel as though all hope is gone. He will try to convince us that the darkness will never lift, and there is no way out of this mess. Don't entertain those negative, evil thoughts! The Bible instructs us to trust in the Lord for His rescue, His wisdom and His help. No matter what we face, Jesus promised to never leave us nor forsake us. There is always hope when we put our trust in God. The Bible is full of encouraging, true stories about some very challenging circumstances people faced and how they overcame. When these people put their faith in God, they experienced God's miraculous intervention. Listen as Bill and Annette share true stories from the Bible that will encourage you today!

Going to war should always be a nation's last resort. If there is any other way, we must absolutely explore all possibilities before entering a battle. However, war sometimes comes to a nation unprovoked, and they are forced to defend their people. If this is the case, and if all solutions are exhausted or ignored by a nation's enemies, yes the Bible does support war. We should also be grateful for the men and women who have fought in wars, who have given their lives for our freedom, and for those serving today. We must continue to pray for our military and for our leaders. Without our mighty military, we would not be able to enjoy the blessed freedoms we have as a nation.

There are three themes used by Jesus that describe hell in the New Testament. Punishment Destruction Banishment Punishment includes burning that shall not be quenched, torment and agony, extreme thirst, weeping and gnashing of teeth, being cut into pieces and more Destruction refers to damnation, perishing, death, judgment, and eternal ruination. Banishment is described as outer darkness, inability to cross over into heaven, being cast away from God's presence, and being cast into hell fire. With all these terms used by Jesus Himself, it is impossible to justify annihilation in hell...or that every person will go to heaven. The bible clearly debunks both of these false beliefs.

A pre-tribulation view teaches that the Rapture of the church (both the dead and living saints) will occur before the seven-year tribulation period, or before the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel (verses 9:24–27). People will say that believing in a pre-tribulation rapture makes you a person with an “escape mentality.” They're right! We do want to escape the events to come. If people fully understood how horrendous the seven-year tribulation will be, they would want to escape it too. We see the increase in deception and lies, the wickedness, the perversion, the attack on children, the censorship of truth, and the persecution against Christians and Jews. It is obvious that more of this is coming and we believe that we will not be here to see it come to its full, evil fruition. Listen as Bill and Annette share biblical insight on this subject.

The word Hell is mentioned 23 times in the New Testament. The words hell, pit, sheol, and hades are mentioned 132 times in the Bible. Jesus spoke of hell and destruction 46 times. Other writers of the New Testament talked of hell or everlasting destruction 10 times. People are quick to dismiss that which they disagree with. Hell is definitely one of those topics. The old adage is, “Don't discuss religion or politics.” That statement is from the pit of hell. People are dying every day and going to hell because people wont discuss the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ...and the consequences of rejecting that gift. Sadly, in large part Christians have ignored rejected, and watered down the reality of hell regardless of its mention throughout the Bible. Listen as Bill and Annette shed light on the subject of hell and the consistency of its mention and warnings in the Bible.

We live in a world where moral standards have completely deteriorated. Most people, even professing Christians, believe it is fine to be sexually active before marriage or to live with someone. This behavior may be widespread and common in the Church, but God still calls it sin. What happens when a person plays with sin repeatedly? They open themselves up to being demonized. Yes, even unrepentant Christians can be influenced and driven by demons to continue in sexual sin. Throughout the Bible, particularly the gospels, demon spirits are referred to as unclean spirits. The way to gain freedom from an unclean spirit is to take action and repent! Listen as Bill and Annette discuss the presence of unclean spirits in the lives of believers, and how to be rid of them for good.

You would be surprised at how many people in the church think they are safe to continue sinning because they said a prayer receiving Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Are these people truly born again? Beware. Sin can and does cut a person's life short, and that includes Christians. The Lord is merciful, and He gives people numerous chances to repent and change but time is running out. Practicing a lifestyle of sin and thinking you are "ok" with God is a great deception. A truly born-again Christian will show the fruit of a changed life. The incorruptible seed (word of God) is in the heart and produces a changed life. If a person claims to be a Christian but their lifestyle never reflects change, they should question if they have ever been born again in the first place Listen as Bill and Annette give biblical insight on to the topic of Christians who continue in a lifestyle of sin, and the danger it represents.

The lack of self-control in today's society is evident all around us. When a person has no divine guidance and no meaningful purpose, they lack healthy boundaries concerning their behavior, attitudes and choices. When was the last time you examined your spiritual walk, your emotions, your relationships, social media habits, spoken words, and even your eating and financial habits? Living in the last days takes God's supernatural grace and ability. The Holy Spirit lives inside of us and He will empower us to walk in freedom rather than live at a low-level of existence. But we must be intentional in our relationship with God each day to fulfill God's plan for us to reach this lost and hurting world. Time is running out. Listen as Bill and Annette encourage each of us to take stock of our attitudes and behaviors, being mindful of the last days we are living in.

Genesis 9:6, "From the hand of every man's brother I will require the life of man. Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man." God is the one who instituted capital punishment. However, there are some qualifiers, and there are some exceptions. The original reason God demanded the death penalty for certain sins was not only because they were heinous crimes, but because death is a severe deterrent to prevent others from committing them again. If sin is addressed and punished early on, the rest of society will not embrace it. Join Bill and Annette for a biblical discussion on capitol punishment.

A clear indication that we are living in the last of the last days is the continual attack and mockery against Christianity. Last week, potentially over one billion people watched the Olympics and witnessed the world applaud an offensive, demonic mockery of Leonardo da Vinci's painting, "The Last Supper." This painting portrays Jesus Christ's last meal with His disciples before His crucifixion.

Jesus Christ came to earth the first time as our Savior. He died on the cross, was buried, and rose from the dead. He said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.” Do you know that Jesus Christ is coming back again, but this time as King and Judge of all the earth? The Bible warns us in 2 Peter 3:3-4 that in the last days scoffers will say, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” Today, many people have no regard for His second coming and even go so far as to mock it. Listen as Bill and Annette share what the Bible says about the second coming of Christ.

If we could see into the spiritual realm, we would witness a fierce battle between angels and demons over nations. We would observe the evil spirits influencing individuals to commit evil acts. We would see the spirits of confusion, hatred, fear and addiction holding people in bondage. Every day, we see the evidence of this spiritual realm and the battle between good and evil in our world. If we could see into the spiritual realm we would also see angels working for God in the protection and salvation of countless millions. And we do see the power of prayer, and how world events and circumstances change with God's intervention. We see the power of God's word to change hearts when it is heard and received. Listen as Bill and Annette share about the spiritual world around us.

God's original plan for man was to live forever in paradise, and not work by the sweat of his brow. When God created Adam and Eve, there was no sickness, disease, or lack. There was no death or destruction of any kind. Satan, who was called Lucifer chose to rebel against God because he wanted to be like God. Pride arose in his heart, and he convinced one-third of the angels to follow him. He was, and is, extremely persuasive. The Bible calls him the “father of lies.” Any rebellion against God's commands is sin, and sin brings forth death. Death is the penalty for sin, and sin separates us from God in this present life, and for eternity. Because of God's great love, His plan has always included reconciling man's relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. Listen as Bill and Annette share the amazing plan of God for mankind.

During my vision of hell, Jesus took me high above the earth. While I was coming up out of hell, we were in a whirlwind tunnel that extended far above the surface of the earth. It looked similar to a tornado, circular in motion, with a narrow funnel. It was terrifying to observe. I saw people falling into this whirlwind, one after another after another, back down into hell. They were completely helpless. I knew that these were people who had just died, who didn't know God, who had rejected His free gift of salvation. It was an extremely sad and disturbing sight because I also knew that they were never getting out. I knew it was too late for them. Learn more with Bill and Annette in this podcast episode.

Someone recently asked me, “Bill, you said in one of your podcasts that the only sin which sends a person to hell is the rejection of the provision for our sins, which is Jesus Christ." They added, "If a man professes to believe in Jesus Christ, lives a secret sinful life and even feels guilt about it, but dies in such a state, will he be saved for his initial confession?” Learn more on this topic with Bill and Annette in this podcast episode.

In the vision that God gave to Bill about hell, he saw prison cells in a place that was like a dungeon. There were rough-hewn, stone walls with a gates and bars. The Bible indicates that there are actual gates at the entrance of hell. In addition, scripture states that there are bars in hell. Gates and bars would be indicative of a prison, and hell is just that. Bill and his wife Annette point us to scripture to confirm that hell is indeed a place of torment and captivity.

Why is it that wicked people seem to prosper? There is nothing wrong with asking this question as long as we keep from envying them or fretting about it. Psalms 37 says, "Do not fret or envy the wicked. Unless they repent, we know they will end up in hell. We may also ask, "why do many of them live a long life while others we know die tragically?" Let's not forget that God's great mercy is for all people. He had the same mercy for us when we didn't know Him. 2 Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Learn more on this topic with Bill and Annette in this podcast episode.

Hell was prepared, not created, as some people might believe. The word “prepared" in Strong's Concordance means, “to make ready.” In Matthew 25:41 Jesus said, “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'" The word prepared used here is the same word that God used in John 14:2 where He said, "I go to prepare a place for you." In the preparation of hell, God simply removed His attributes, or His goodness from it. Learn more as Bill and his wife Annette explain the creation of hell, and its purpose.

The Bible calls King David a man after God's own heart. Why? What exactly did David do in God's eyes to earn that kind of title? One reason we know for certain is because David had great faith in God's Word, and stood bravely before the enemy. He also displayed humility, recognizing that his strength and victories came from God and not Himself. In addition, he didn't just obey God's Word, he had a genuine love for it. In Psalm 119 we read how David's words, "My soul breaks with longing For Your judgments at all times" and "Your testimonies also are my delight…" Would you be called a man or woman after God's own heart? Listen as Bill and his wife Annette share more about David and his Godly character.

Two people die every second of every day. And how many of those even believe hell is real? If one doesn't believe in it, how can they escape from it? The Bible gives us a few verses that indicate there are many going to hell, and few that will enter Heaven. We can only assume what percentage a few is. When God flooded the entire earth and saved only Noah and his family, there were only eight people found righteous. Some scholars believe that there would have been at least 1.5 billion people on the earth at that time, and yet only eight were saved. Is it really few who will make it to heaven? Are you one of them? Listen as Bill and his wife Annette share more in this podcast episode.

In Luke 16 Jesus gave an account of a rich man in hell. In doing so He revealed much information to us about hell and a place called Paradise, which is also referred to as “Abraham's Bosom.” We know that t his story was not a parable, but an actual account of a true story for two reasons: 1. No parable has a name mentioned. This has three, Abraham, Lazarus and Moses. 2. In verses 25 and 29 Jesus indicates "Abraham said" and then continues to tell us the words Abraham spoke. Jesus is quoting Abraham. If it were just a parable, then Jesus would have been lying to share words that Abraham had said. Since Jesus is no liar we can be sure He described an actual incident. The question is, "Is anyone in Paradise now?" Listen as Bill and his wife Annette share more in this podcast episode.
