HELL
1. Place yourself in the Presence of God and humbly ask His help.
2. Imagine yourself in a city of gloom, a city of burning pitch and brimstone, a city whose inhabitants can never escape.
Considerations
1. Like those in this city, the damned are in the depths of hell, suffering unspeakable torments in every sense and member. Having used their life to sin, they suffer pain befitting their sin; eyes which looked on evil things will endure the awful visions of devils and of hell; ears which delighted to hear evil conversations will listen forever to awful wailing’s and lamentations and cries of despair.
2. Yet greater than all these torments is the loss of the glory and the Presence of God, being deprived of it forever. If Absalom found the suffering of never seeing his father’s face greater than that of banishment, how much greater our suffering at being excluded forever from the Face of God!
3. Consider that what makes hell intolerable is the fact that our suffering can never have and end. If a ache in the tooth or a slight fever makes the night seem endless, then how terrible that eternal night when afflicted with so many sufferings! An eternal night which gives birth to eternal despair and frenzied blasphemies without end.

There is much more Christian stupidity at Do you think threatening people with eternal torture in hell is a good way to convince them to become Christians?
