Jesus On Hell
May 17th, 201202:17 PM ETBy George W. Sarris It has often been pointed out that Jesus spoke of Hell more often than any of the other New Testament writers. That claim is clearly true . . . and untrue at the same time. The claim is based on the number of times Jesus used the word Gehenna – the term most commonly translated “Hell” in the modern versions. Gehenna... -
Tattoos, Mini-Skirts, Pink Hair and Drugs
May 10th, 201202:35 PM ETBy George W. Sarris Is teen rebellion a necessary part of raising a family in today’s modern world? That is a question every set of young parents asks as their children begin to grow up. I have five children, and I was often warned, Just wait until your kids hit the teen years! It’s brutal!

The Question Every Christian Asks
April 25th, 201211:58 AM ETBy George W. Sarris In Seven Days in Utopia – an excellent film based on David L. Cook’s best-selling book, Golf’s Sacred Journey – Robert Duvall’s character makes a very profound statement about his beliefs: I respect tradition. But, I have a passion for the truth!

Vote The Bums Out!
April 18th, 201203:34 PM ETBy George W. Sarris Diogenes of Sinope was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived in a tub, and walked through the streets of Athens in the daytime carrying a lantern. When asked what he was doing, he replied, I am looking for an honest man! The more I read about the politicians of our day, the more I resonate with Diogenes! Are there any ho... -
Hell: It Has Its Problems!
April 10th, 201202:53 PM ETBy George W. Sarris Have you ever had an experience similar to mine? I talked with a man who told me that he stopped believing in God and going to church when he heard that most of his friends, and a lot of people in other parts of the world who had never heard of Jesus were going to go to Hell. He decided at that time that he just couldn... -
Resurrection . . . Did He or Didn't He?
March 29th, 201204:08 PM ETBy George W. Sarris As we approach the Palm Sunday and Easter holidays, I was reminded of a Christmas card I received from a friend some years ago. It had a very simple, but profound message. The cover asked, “What's the difference between Christmas, Buddhamas, Confuciusmas, and Mohammadmas?” When you opened the card, the an... -

False Teachers, False Prophets, Heretics and Wolves
March 14th, 201212:43 PM ETBy George W. Sarris I had the sad experience recently of having a dear friend who I have known well for over a dozen years come up to me at a conference where I was speaking to inform me that, in essence, he didn’t want to be my friend anymore. His reason? He has concluded that I am a “false teacher” who is leading people astray ... -
Adult Filmmakers
February 29th, 201211:52 AM ETBy George W. Sarris Well, the festivals are over. I’m referring to the two film festivals that were held last weekend – the Academy Awards in Hollywood, and the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival in the Alamo City. The first is well-known, of course. The second is much less known. I’ve had the privi... -
The Rich Man and Lazarus
February 17th, 201202:25 PM ETBy George W. Sarris In any discussion of ultimate destinies, one passage of Scripture almost always comes up in support of the idea that Hell is a place of conscious suffering that never ends – the parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31 In that passage, Jesus tells his listeners: The time came when the beggar died and the angel...
