When the world dissolves, all places will be hell that are not heaven.

The perpetual death of the damned will go on without end and will be their common lot regardless of what people prompted by human sentiments may conjure up.

Hell is truth seen too late -- duty neglected in its season.

Will it not awaken us to compassion, to look on a languishing man, and to think that within a few days his soul will be in heaven or in hell? Surely it will try the faith and seriousness of ministers, to be much about dying men! They will thus have opportunity to discern whether they themselves are in good ernest about the matters of the life to come.

Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern.

The poor dunce who says, "If I go to hell, I'll have plenty of friends," will be forever shocked to find that in hell nobody will have any friends! Everyone will be the eternal enemy of everyone else.

When we preach on hell, we might at least do it with tears in our eyes.

Most of what we know about heaven from the Bible is the listing of things we do not like on earth - no sorrow, no sighing, no pain, no sin. The one theme that runs throughout the Bible is that in heaven we will be with God; and the horror of hell is that it will be a place without God.

When people no longer believe in hell, they promptly make this world into place of torment.

The word "hell" (gehenna) occurs in the New Testament twelve times -- eleven on the lips of Jesus. It is not a myth created by dismal and angry preachers. It is the solemn warning of the Son of God who died to deliver sinners from its curse. We ignore it at great risk.

The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of Fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.

I willingly believe that the damned are, in one sense, successful, rebels to the end; that the doors of hell are locked on the inside.

Did you ever notice that while the gospel sets before us a higher and more blessed heaven than any other religion, its hell is also deeper and darker than any other?

When you speak of heaven let your face light up...When you speak of hell -- well, then your everyday face will do.

Why should anyone be shattered by the thought of hell? It is not compulsory for anyone to go there.

There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it.

The preaching of Christ is the whip that flogs the devil. The preaching of Christ is the thunderbolt, the sound of which makes all hell shake.

I am abandoned by God and man! I shall go to hell! O Christ, O Jesus Christ!

If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.

'Not called!' did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world.

If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.

Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry? Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die? Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand? Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you damned?
