Swiss MountainsI’m not one for danc­ing on this side of death but I sup­pose I will indeed do some danc­ing in heaven. In fact, I’m sure I will delight in the glo­ries of God by dancing.

It is true that danc­ing has got­ten a bad rep through immoral­ity and immod­esty and of course this dis­hon­ors God. Read the rest of this entry »

Half of HeavenFor it is writ­ten Christ loved the church and gave him­self up for her, that he might sanc­tify her (Eph­esians 5:25–26). Christ has pro­found love for his peo­ple. Christ paid an enor­mous price (that will take us an eter­nity to com­pre­hend) to give his church the great­est gift that God could ever give. And that gift is Him­self in full glory. That is the trea­sure that a Chris­t­ian val­ues. Read the rest of this entry »

John 3:16 in GeorgianJohn 3:16 is mea­sured as the most widely known pas­sage in scrip­ture. For it is writ­ten, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that who­ever believes in him should not per­ish but have eter­nal life.” Do you recall the sac­ri­fice in “gave his only Son?” Why is there not another way to save sin­ners? Why save sin­ners at all? Why the only divine Son? God’s only Son! Read the rest of this entry »

HarpI never con­sid­ered myself much of a musi­cian or even a singer. In fact, I shy away from it. But in Heaven I believe God will unleash the cre­ativ­ity for me to per­form and even cre­ate musi­cal instru­ments and also sing. Yes, music and singing will be in Heaven.

John when he was taken up said this about music and singing, “And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thun­der. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists play­ing on their harps, and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four liv­ing crea­tures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.” John implies that there were new sounds (voices). John couldn’t hit the nail of what sound it was because there is noth­ing on earth that sounded like it. He could only pin­point on what it sounds like as close as he can describe it as.

New Year's CelebrationMy wife recently brought my new born son into the world. It was a spe­cial day for my wife and me along with other fam­ily mem­bers. We have been antic­i­pat­ing for this day to be closer to the 22nd of Jan­u­ary. But through God’s prov­i­dence and sov­er­eign will He chose New Year’s Day (2011).

New Year’s Day has become the clos­est thing to a global pub­lic hol­i­day. For most of the world this is a day of New Year res­o­lu­tions. In fact, accord­ing to The Barna Group, 61% of the nations (U.S.) pop­u­la­tion has made res­o­lu­tions some­time dur­ing their lives and 41% will make res­o­lu­tions for this 2011 year.

Paradise LostWhat would you sup­pose a town or per­haps a city that Satan has com­pletely taken over look like? Would you imag­ine bars and clubs being filled up? Would you imag­ine pornog­ra­phy ram­pant in every cor­ner? Would you imag­ine no church, no ser­mons, no preach­ing, and no min­is­ters? Would you imag­ine gangs, vio­lence, sex, drugs, gun shoot­ings, molesta­tions, immoral­ity, rape, mur­der, strife, deceit, or a com­plete and total chaos of life?

Let’s sup­pose that Satan took a vaca­tion and God decided to turn us over to who we are. Read the rest of this entry »
