Do you believe what you believe?

Faith means nothing if it costs nothing.

Let's examine our "beliefs" and what they could mean in practical application.

2 Peter 3:9-The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Wait a minute...ALL!!??

Let's give that a little thought.  Do we really believe that God wants everyone to come to repentance?

What about Jeffrey Dahmer?  Read this article if you have a chance.
The Christian Chronicle: Did 'jailhouse religion' save Jeffrey Dahmer?

I believe that Jeffrey Dahmer's eternal destination is not my concern.  But don't some people deserve to go to hell. 
Murders, you know like Paul.  Maybe not a great example.

Adulterers, uuhhmm like David, uuhhmm a man after God's heart (Acts 13:22).

Ok..Ok.. but what about people who swear and curse at the mention of Jesus--denying to even know him, like Peter--upon whose confession the Church is built (Matt 16:18). 

Really looking into the people God chose, the people in the lineage of Jesus and the people Jesus associated with shows a pretty dysfunctional group.

Some were judgemental, selfish, alcoholics, murders, prostitutes, anger issues, and a host of other "hurts, habits and hangups".

It is not God's wish that any sinner should perish.  And we're all sinners (Romans 3:23).  BIG SINS little sins.  All sin worthy of death and hell. (Romans 6:23).  I'm glad that blood of Jesus covers all sins.
