Let Us Live and Pray as One Baptized into the Threefold Name

The Puritans have been stereotyped as legalistic and impersonal and believing in an impersonal God, but in many hours of reading them I believe nothing could be further from the truth!

Will We Have Desires in Heaven?

Christianity is unique in its perspective of our desires, teaching that they will be sanctified and fulfilled on the New Earth.

When “Blessed” Means “Happy”

Every definition and synonym cited for blessed relates to holiness. Virtually nothing relates to happiness, though a few dictionaries acknowledge that it once meant “happy.”

Are You Looking Forward to the Earth’s Redemption?

The “redemption of our bodies” refers to the resurrection of the dead. Paul says that not only we, but “the whole creation” longs for and cries out for the earth-wide deliverance that will come with our bodily resurrection.

We Grow Up in Christ by Growing Down in Lowliness

Of his own ministry, in relation to that of the Lord Jesus, John the Baptist declared: “He must become greater; I must become less” (John 3:30).

Is It Possible to Be Hyperimaginative in Thinking about Heaven?

I believe that God expects us to use our imagination, even as we recognize its limitations and flaws. If God didn’t want us to imagine what Heaven will be like, he wouldn’t have told us as much about it as he has.

What Is Eternity-Minded Stewardship?

Jesus sees our hearts and knows us well. He doesn’t call all disciples to give away everything. He does call us to take radical action that breaks our bondage to money and possessions, freeing us to live under His lordship.
