Yesterday, Pastor Mark Driscoll tweeted this:

If you are not a Christian, you are going to hell. It's not unloving to say that. It's unloving to not say that. — Mark Driscoll (@PastorMark) January 10, 2014

You should respond to him on Twitter — I’m sure he can’t wait — but anyone who leaves their responses below with the hashtag #Hellbound will be entered in a random drawing to win the audiobook version of Steve Wells‘ excellent book Drunk with Blood: God’s Killings in the Bible:

Have at it. How do you respond to someone who says you’re going to Hell?
