. To fill heaven with hells, Thomas Brooks, The Crown and Glory of Christianity, or Holiness, the Only Way to Happiness, 1662. Man who is vile and corrupt, who drinks up evil like water, Job 15, 16. A wicked man is a sin-lover. He is a sin-maker. He lives in sin upon choice. All profane people give up themselves to wickedness, wallow in all ungodliness, delight themselves in all manner of filthiness, commit wickedness with greediness, draw iniquity and sin with cords of vanity, weary themselves to commit iniquity, and are so desperately set upon wickedness that neither the rod of God, the lashes and checks of their own consciences, nor the flashes of hell upon their souls, can stop them. They are resolved that they will gratify their lusts, though they damn their souls, that they will live wickedly, though they perish eternally. By custom in sin, they have destroyed all conscience of sin, and contracted such desperate hardness upon their own hearts as neither God smiles nor frowns, God's promises nor threatenings, life nor death, heaven nor hell, can possibly hinder them. The hearts and ways of wicked men are full of hells, and therefore to fill heaven with such would be to fill heaven with hells. Certainly God will shut the gates of glory upon such workers of iniquity. These souls are sadly abandoned by God and woefully blinded by Satan and fully ripened for ruin. All will be damned who have not believed the truth, but have delighted in wickedness. 2 Thessalonians 2.12 Unless you are converted, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18.3
Pristine Grace functions as a digital library of preaching and teaching from many different men and ministries. I maintain a broad collection for research, study, and listening, and the presence of any preacher or message here should not be taken as a blanket endorsement of every doctrinal position expressed.
I publish my own convictions openly and without hesitation throughout this site and in my own preaching and writing. This archive is not a denominational clearinghouse. My aim in maintaining it is to preserve historic and contemporary preaching, encourage careful study, and above all direct readers and listeners to the person and work of Christ.
