"You smell like Hell, get away from me!" Those are not exactly the words one would expect to hear upon entering through the doors of a church, the place many refer to as the House of God. Unfortunately, that is the message that is being screamed loud and clear by many that call themselves Christians. The message that is being sent, either intentionally or unintentionally is "my opinion of you is you are on your way to hell, in fact you are already so close to getting there you actually are beginning to smell like hell!" So, what if, we cared enough about those around us, that instead of bashing or ignoring them we did the unthinkable by reaching out and offering them a hand up? Instead of being satisfied with our own fire insurance policy maybe we could use it as motivation. The type of motivation to do all we can to inform others of what we have found in Christ. Becoming so desperate for the souls of those we love and even those we don't love would make us stay awake at night. The type of sleepless night where each time you close your eyes you see all the faces of the people in Hell. Their anguished faces contorting as they plead over and over with you asking WHY? Why did you not let us know there was another way? You realize you failed to ever share with them THE way, Jesus Christ. You can't stop hearing their screams or seeing their torture. In fact, what if we were so consumed and desperate for the eternal destinations of our fellow humans that we got so close to the fires of Hell, pulling them from the flames, that we smelled like smoke? What a compliment it would then be for someone to say, "you smell like Hell!" This is not a church bashing book, instead it is intended as a wake up call for all people.

We all love our pets, and we each have unique ways in which we communicate with them. Have you ever wondered what they really think? What would it be like if they could communicate their thoughts and feelings in words? My nine year old Yorkie poo has done just that. He wrote this book featuring some of his more memorable adventures, and his everyday interactions with his family, friends, and other animals. This is a chance to get inside the mind of a dog, and see just what makes him tick. Most of his antics are humorous, however he does offer some insights into life and how we can learn from our experiences.

Today's church seems to have lost focus on its mission of connecting people with Jesus. Instead of hiding behind the four walls of a building, Christ-followers need to be out engaging the community. Seeking out the broken, lost, and hurting and showing them Jesus in action. As Christ-followers we need to follow the example set by Jesus and meet people where they are. The only way to saturate society with the love of Christ is to actively engage those around us. We must go to them, not sit on a pew waiting for them to come to us.Don't just go to church BE the Church!
