Perry Admits to Sending People to Hell
This coming Sunday, Perry will be hitting a very hot topic to open the new series, Illuminate. During this series, he’s going to be addressing some challenging questions. And, let’s just say, he picked a doozie for the first week. I caught up with Perry earlier today, and asked him to preview what’s coming this Sunday.
Tony: Is it true that you’re teaching about Hell this weekend? Have you ever taught a full message on that topic?
Perry: Yes, I am teaching a message on the subject of Hell. In leading and teaching at NewSpring the past seven years I have talked about Hell on numerous occasions, but have never dedicated a full message to it—this will be a first.
Tony: Why are you doing it…because this doesn’t sound like a feel-good topic?
Perry: You are right. It does NOT feel good. In fact, in studying and preparing for this talk, my heart has grown VERY heavy. BUT…the Bible is very clear that Hell is a literal place. And, because Scripture (AND JESUS) talks about Hell, then I must as well.
Tony: You don’t seem like the "fire and brimstone" type. Has something changed?
Perry: Nope, I am not the typical fire and brimstone preacher who holds people over Hell every Sunday. To me, scaring the Hell out of people just isn’t the way I believe Jesus taught us to do evangelism. However, as a minister it is up to me to preach what the Bible says, and with Hell being a pretty important doctrine, I think that this will be the weekend we need to cover it. This will be a very straightforward presentation…very little fire and brimstone.
Tony: On the topic of Hell, how hot is it? Does it ever freeze over?
Perry: Hell does freeze over…and we have the video-taped testimony to prove it! We actually pulled off something amazing for this Sunday. We literally sent a video crew to Hell. You will have to check out our service on Sunday to see what it was like.
For the rest of the story, you’ll have to join us on Sunday or catch the video next week. Rats. I forgot to ask Perry one very important theological question. I’ve always wondered if they play country music in Hell…
“I’ve always wondered if they play country music in Hell…”
BOOOOOOOOO!!!

Yes, they do play country music in hell. Also, old State of the Union addresses play on the big screen in a continuous loop, all cell phones are programmed to ring Fergilicious, there are no dividers in the restrooms, and every section is a smoking section. It’s a very bad place!
I also believe they continually play the commercials that are aired during the presidental campaign season for all candidates and the Head On commercial over and over again.
According to the Veggie Tales it is a land of continual tickeling also (which negates the no laughing theroy but after laughing that long would it be laughing or agony?)
Dude, you are hilarious! I love the dialog b/t you and Perry! Gives the facts of what’s to come, explains it out well, and still has great humor. Just thought I would let you know I liked it…even if it wasn’t meant to be funny?! :)
Thanks!

There is still time for this if the building administration staff reads this before bed (I’m sure they check in regularly).
Turn the heat up to 90° for in the morning.
For a true multisensory experience, start it up just before service so everyone can smell the dust burning off the system.
