The Gospel Crux is a fresh look at the teachings of Jesus in the context of their Hebrew origins.
The current versions are not working. If they were, the world around us would not keep going to pieces every now and then.

"No one goes to hell by accident!" were the words I heard as the vision opened before me. The scenes that followed forever changed the way I saw the often-controversial subject of Hell. This experience confirmed that hell is a real place. It also served to confirm that it is very difficult to go to hell, although many will end up there. You have to work at it. Jesus is constantly getting in your path to redirect you to heaven. The Bible records hundreds...

Long before the words of the Bible were written, God's communication through the spoken word rang out loud and clear. Jesus in particular commissioned representatives to speak on his behalf even during the time of his earthly ministry. And yet today we are a reading culture.

A Great Need Requires a Great Response
