A Heaven for the Lost and Forgotten.

Life can be unfair at times, or even for seasons, but what I want to reflect upon today is God's justice otherwise known as Heaven. When we think of God's justice we might think upon the punishment called hell, but for the millions who are experiencing a nightmare of an existence right now through social injustice, or any kind of injustice, or who are poor or sick, Heaven is and has to be the ultimate destiny and justice for social outcasts. With that said, I have been pondering at what Heaven will be like when God remakes this world. There are many theological ideas, based on the scriptures, and I don't think that this picture that I am going to paint of the eternal Heaven differs at all from all of the theological exegesis of what heaven is.

Obviously we can't know everything about God justice, but the light of human conscience can give us clues to the rewards that God has in store for all those here on this earth who will make their eternal home with God on a rebuilt and reunited earth. Heaven will be an existence not too much unlike our earthly existence now, but there will be no need, no illness, no sin or prideful people, the light of God will provide life sustaining life and love for all her inhabitants. First we must stay in the order of time, and before the eternal Heaven happens, Jesus Christ will bring peace to this earth at his second coming. At last, innocence will be restored to forgiven men and women, and children.

All evil doers will be locked up, away forever. We will live in peace with God on this earth forever and forever. All injustice will be made right, and all our suffering will be gone. People's health will be restored, missing limbs and disabilities will be healed. We will live in perfect health forever because the curse of sin will be completely gone at the first resurrection. ( Oh Death, where is thy Victory where is thy Sting?) And no one, and nothing will ever again take that peace from the earth (Heaven) and from us. We will be happy forever, and we will never be lonely or afraid. Surprisingly we won't miss our loved ones, some will be there with us, but because we will be there with God forever, we won't miss anything.

The goodness or Christ's righteousness and our holiness or sanctification, will sustain us for all eternity--and the pure in heart with their goodness and love for God and for each other will feed them for all eternity. We will only be a bit restless I think at times, because we will have a constant "craving" for more of God, even though our hearts will be fully satisfied with the constant love and affection from God Himself and all His goodness. We will understand that all goodness belongs to God. We will be forgiven forever, and there will never be sin or any kind of darkness. Human beings will flourish forever, and those who failed to reach their full potential on earth will find it in God alone. This is Mike.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

  Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

  “Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17).   Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
