There is a Hotter Place

People often talk about the weather—how hot the summers are and how cold the winters can be—but Malcolm Hill reminds us of a place far hotter than any earthly season. Drawing from Luke 16:19–31, he speaks of the rich man who learned too late the reality of eternal punishment. This powerful message urges us to reflect on the state of our souls, remain faithful to God, and be prepared to meet Him in eternity.

Malcolm Hill, Tennessee Bible College’s founding president and the original host of One Gospel Minute, left a lasting legacy of faith and teaching. His dedication to spreading the gospel in clear, powerful messages continues to inspire this podcast today.

Men often talk

(00:07):
about the weather.
They talk about how cold it is inthe wintertime, and they talk about
how hot it is in the summertime.
They've been talking about oflate how hot it was and has
been during this past summer.
And I've heard people say, "I just cannotstand the heat. It's too hot, and I just
don't know how I can bear up under it."

(00:29):
But I want to tell you something,my friend—there is a hotter place
than this awaiting the wicked.
And unless a man is a child ofGod, he can expect to find that
place in the after a while.
We've got to be faithful children of God.
In Luke 16:19-31, we read of the richman that died, and he found out that

(00:52):
there's a hotter place in the worldto come than there is in this life.
So you need to really be thinkingabout your soul—how it stands,
where is it in the sight of God.
You've got to be prepared tomeet God in the after a while.
I'm Malcolm Hill.
