From what I am yet still being shown . . . about the seriousness of our situation we are actually in . . . I am impressed to recall this quote of L. Ravenhill regarding one of those who find themselves headed to Hell.
And I find myself nearly ready . . . to crawl across broken glass . . . on my stomach . . . for miles . . . if one soul could be saved. . . . . . . .
What HE suffered and took upon Himself to block the deserved wrath of The Holy Father, is something that I am just barely comprehending.
I will and must tell you this. . . . GOD IS HOLY, HE IS JUST and this reality IS WHAT IT IS . . . for HE IS WHAT HE IS--THE GREAT I AM!!!!!! The Truth is The Truth! Take it or leave it.
The enemies of God hate that fact, truth. They say "it's not fair" . . . and then delve into being "the victim". . . . And then the devil is ever ready to assist them in having a "pop", a "best life now" in this world (the world the devil is temporarily ruling". . . . . . .

"Charlie Peace was a criminal. Laws of God or man curbed him not. Finally the law caught up with him, and he was condemned to death. On the fatal morning in Armley Jail, Leeds, England, he was taken on the death-walk. Before him went the prison chaplain, routinely and sleepily reading some Bible verses. The criminal touched the preacher and asked what he was reading. “The Consolations of Religion,” was the reply. Charlie Peace was shocked at the way he professionally read about hell. Could a man be so unmoved under the very shadow of the scaffold as to lead a fellow-human there and yet, dry-eyed, read of a pit that has no bottom into which this fellow must fall? Could this preacher believe the words that there is an eternal fire that never consumes its victims, and yet slide over the phrase with a tremor? Is a man human at all who can say with no tears, “You will be eternally dying and yet never know the relief that death brings”? All this was too much for Charlie Peace. So he preached. Listen to his on-the-eve-of-hell sermon:
“Sir,” addressing the preacher, “if I believed what you and the church of God say that you believe, even if England were covered with broken glass from coast to coast, I would walk over it, if need be, on hands and knees and think it worthwhile living, just to save one soul from an eternal hell like that!"
--from Leonard Ravenhill's "Why Revival Tarries"
