Is This Life Too Short to Determine Our Eternal Destiny?

Eternal Retribution

If you dishonor a toad, you’re not very guilty. I stomped on a toad when I was a teenager, and I felt a little bad, but not much. If you dishonor a man, you’re very guilty. If you dishonor God, you are infinitely guilty because he’s infinitely worthy of every millisecond of worship in your life. If you don’t give him worship, you multiply the storehouse of wrath. And who can measure such an offense? Well, God can, and he is just.

Discussion

Sharper Iron will go offline Saturday evening 7/18/26 for upgrades.

The site is getting a visual design refresh, some new features, moving to version 11 of the Drupal platform, and also moving to an upgraded server instance.

The work could take a day or two. Most should be seeing the new site by Monday 7/20.

We’ll go offline around 9 PM Central 7/18.
