[QUOTE="avatarblade2000, post: 19618854, member: 122285"] KataGraphe hit all the right issues, and was absolutely right about all of them. I too go to Judgment House every Halloween at our church, and have seen over the past few years that while it is a very powerful ministry, it is also one you have to be particularly careful with. Fire-and-brimstone tactics, they work only to scare you into salvation, but not often do you hear anything relatively good about the heaven that salvation gets you: in Judgment House especially, the balancing of these two elements - showing how bad Hell is and how great Heaven is - has to be taken extreme care of, otherwise it's just blowing a lot of hot air into a bunch of lost people's faces and sending them out the door faster than they got in. I was always proud of our Judgment House, though, because it did achieve that balance: even though I would walk into "Heaven," recognize every actor in the room playing some angel, saint, or even Jesus Himself, I would always think to myself, "Wow...this is what I'm getting when I die...plus some. Jesus really does love me." THAT is what Judgment House - or Hell House, or Halfway House, or whatever in the world it's called from place to place - should aim for: showing people that Jesus loves us and wants to be with us, and that it's a whole lot nicer than being with the Devil...
