What do you think about hell and Satan, Heaven and God?
DO you think...
Hell is that place burning hot with fire,
And the devil is that red, two-horned beast,
Where every bad person would retire
IN the evil feast?
Heaven is that magnificent place,
And God is that magnificent master of even the least.
Who would allow a lot get into with grace
To have a magnificent feast...
??
Then you might be right but there's a need to have a wider horizon or perspective with a poem from Oswald Mtshali:
A Voice from the Dead
I hear it in my sleep,
Calling me softly,
It was my mother,
Speaking from her grave.
My son, "there is no Heaven
Above the clouds"
WHAT?
Yes, Heaven is in your heart,
"God is no picture
With a snow white beard"
WHAT?
Yes, God is that cripple beggar
Sprawling at the corner street.
"There is no Hell burning
With sulphur and brimstone
WHAT?
Yes, Hell is the hate and anger
Flickering in your eyes.

Dear T-4-G,
I feel like my life is a total wreck. Nothing is going on well for me. I mean my family: my Dad drinks, my Mum nags a lot and usually gets beaten by Dad, my elder brothers have my Dad's genes and they are angry at me that I do not booze with them, go for parties and flirt around. They think I am jew and even feel I'm not man enough to be considered a male specie. My sister is not straight either. I feel like giving up on God entirely but I really wonna be for him; A-T-4-G, what do I do?
I have prayed to God but it seems He doesn't listen. I feel like He's taking sides with my family and life against me.

Leroy,
There's this girl who's a teenager like us. Her story is similar to yours only that your personalities do not seem to match. [Apart from her being a girl and you are a guy, she is the only one interested in God in her family; she is serving Him whole heartedly and praying fervently for her family]. When I got really close to her, I realized that she wants to be different from the rest of her family so she has decided not to make herself a prayer point. I think you should too.
So pal, it is high time you stopped brooding and using your family problems as a barrier. You can be different if you want to and are determined. Just pray with faith that God will touch them positively and transform them as He did Paul. Pray also for God to continually strengthen you (trust me bro, you need lots of energy and patience) and bless your family through you. Reflect upon these scriptures:

1st Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. (NIV)
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee (KJV)
Romans 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NIV)
I appreciate your being fervent for the Lord; you're A-T-4-G please, don't give up on Him because He'll never give up on you. Remember, the Lord would never place upon you more than you can bear/handle so just hold on to Him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
