Continuing the series on the judgments still to come, Pastor Scott Thom teaches on the judgment of the believer, the Bema Seat, and the four crowns Scripture promises for faithful service: the crown of rejoicing, the crown of righteousness, the crown of life, and the crown of glory. A listener named Steve asks the question so many are wondering right now: with wars, unrest, and disasters in the headlines, why aren't more pastors teaching on the end times? And in one of the most personal calls this show has taken, a caller named Linda, a police officer for ten years who lost her son to suicide, asks Pastor Scott directly: who actually goes to hell? Is it only about accepting Christ, or does mental illness and addiction change the answer? Pastor Scott walks through accountability, God's mercy, and what Scripture does and doesn't say about suicide.
