This is a recent picture from a non profit that my business partners with, I love what we at Blusource do.  I am grateful to be in a business that is providing resources to those on the front lines.  Through our simple backpacks (which required thousands of man hours in design) a child is given dignity, self worth, and potentially hope to learn.  But thankfully it doesn't stop there, for many of our partners, they continue to love and serve the least of these.  Sharing Christ's love and message in all they do - That He is the Hope of the world.

Bell's new book, Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived, has provoked weeks of fierce infighting among pastors, theologians and anyone else who scans the Christian blogosphere where critics rage that he's a hipster heretic.

In Love Wins, which arrives in stores Tuesday, Bell claims:

• Heaven and hell are choices we make and live with right now. "God gives us what we want," including the freedom to live apart from God (hell) or turn God's way (heaven).

• Death doesn't cut off the ability to repent. In his Bible, Bell sees no "infinite, eternal torment for things (people) did in their few finite years of life."

• Jesus makes salvation possible even for people who never know his name. "We have to allow for mystery," for people who "drink from the rock" of faith "without knowing who or what it was."

• Churches that don't allow for this are "misguided and toxic."

“In him I have everything and more. To die is gain.” If we learn to die like this, we will be ready to live. And if we don’t, we will waste our lives.
