Peter -
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry while viewing the video.
Fifty years from now, the next generation will be pondering the culturally-relevant gadgets and gimmicks used today. Some will laugh ... others will cry. I wonder what the next wave will bring to the pulpit after blogs, Twitter, and Facebook are laid to rest? When the roll is called up yonder, ministry will be measured by substance not form. As Casey reminds us "Keep Me and My Word above all else".

I believe this video is from a film produced by an independent church. This same church produced a film called "Burning Hell." A pastor I knew showed the film in the Philippines. He had to stop showing it when the Filipinos noticed that only Caucasian people were in hell.

I remember seeing this video as a kid and then saying if this is what heaven is like then I don't think I want to go there! I believe their intent was right but it was dated back then!
