I realize that I may not be talking on their level of understanding. I still have their attention with words like 'torment' and 'hell', but I need to focus more on the simple truth.

"Before many of you came here, you likely were led down a path you had no idea where it was leading to.  You were shown outright, or perhaps got lost and came upon it.  But God shows us a path that leads to the place of no pain and no suffering.  This place which has been prepared for us is called Heaven.  And we have a guided tour down that path so we don't get lost; or mistakenly take a wrong turn, leading down the wrong path.  God wants there to be no mistake who our guide is …we must follow Jesus!"
