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.

Age of Brokenness.

  We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

 Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this:    “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.   2  Five of them were foolish and five were wise.   3  The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.   4  The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.   5  The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6  “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7  “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.   8  The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9  “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

  Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord.   From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
