Famous In Hell
00:02:24

|
| You write here that the Apostle Paul was famous in hell. | |
| Yes. | |
| Why would a man of God be famous in hell? | |
| Oh, because he's given so much trouble to the devil. | |
| You see, the devil was threatened by somebody like Paul. | |
| And I would love to think that I'm a threat to the devil. | |
| I would love to think that. | |
| Oh, but you are. | |
| I wish, I hope you are. | |
| In my case, you were. | |
| Well, if I knew I was, it'd probably go to my head. | |
| I would love it if I were famous in hell so that I was a threat to the devil. | |
| I think one qualification for being famous in hell is to be a soul winner. | |
| And there are people that don't even think about winning the lost. | |
| And you see, if you win a person to Jesus Christ, that means that one of Satan's has become one of God's. | |
| That's right. | |
| And then the devil now has your number because you've got one of his. | |
| And so I'd urge people, when I first went to Westminster Chapel within a month, I remember asking the question, how many of you out there have never led a soul to Jesus Christ? | |
| Well, there was one man, his name was Bob George. | |
| He said, here I am, 60 years old, and I've never led a soul to Christ. | |
| And I felt so ashamed. | |
| Well, to fast forward, we eventually had Arthur Blessett come to Westminster Chapel. | |
| Old man's carried a cross around the world. | |
| The best decision I made in 25 years is to invite Arthur Blessed to Westminster Chapel. | |
| He turned us upside down. | |
| He got us out on the streets witnessing. | |
| I had never done it in my life. | |
| And I thought, if I preach the gospel from the pulpit, that's good enough. | |
| And Arthur said, no, you need to talk to people one-to-one. | |
| And I had never done it, but I started doing it. | |
| And we started our pilot-like ministry. | |
| And the first person to join us was that man, Bob George, who was so ashamed that he never led a soul to Christ. | |
| And he learned how to present the gospel to people. | |
| The last time I talked to him before he died, I said, Mr. George, how many people do you suppose you've led to the Lord? | |

Why Be Popular in Heaven?

|
|
| He said, well, it's over 500. | |
| Over 500. | |
| He made up for lost. | |
| I would say he got famous in hell. | |
| So that's the idea. | |
| I want to be popular in heaven because the decisions I make are not to be popular on earth, but to make me popular in heaven. | |
| And then you become a candidate to be popular or famous in hell. | |
