“For many people, life is already hell on earth. We aren’t called to prophesy condemnation and hellfire over people, but we share the Good News of a God that is so in love with the world. It is the goodness of God that leads people to repentance. Don’t try to scare the hell out of people, love the hell out of them. We are called to remind people of God’s original plan for their lives, that they have a purpose, are loved, and are made in God’s image. Every single person is one moment away from tripping into the lovingkindness of Jesus Christ.”
