The Gold Of Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

The gold, the jewels, the beautiful garden fruit trees, and the clear flowing stream from the throne of God, are all a part of the final paradise. Peace and prosperity forever is just what man most craves. That is what the search for gold has always meant to people.

On our vacation in South Dakota, we stopped in the small town of Keystone. Almost every store in town had a variety of Black Hills Gold on display. Seeing all this gold made me want to study gold in the Bible. The streets of the New Jerusalem are to be made of pure gold, and that means gold ...read more

Humor In Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

Laughter must be a part of heaven, just as weeping will be a part of hell. They are opposites, and what is absent from one is present in the other. Rob heaven of laughter, and you drag it nearer the abode of the lost. If God laughs, why should His children be deprived of laughter in His presence.

The Location Of Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The Order Of Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The vision God gave John of the New Jerusalem is a vision of precise and exquisite order. Pythagours said, everything can be described in numbers. That was a profound insight, for numbers are the ultimate symbol of order. God is the great mathematician, and everything He has made has a number.

In the sixth century B. C. a boy by the name of Pythagorus grew up with his father, who was a gem-engraver. He noticed that gemstones came in regular geometric shapes. The beryl was a hexagon, the garnet was a 12 sided crystal, and each gem had it's own unique order. This observation was the ...read more

The Stairway To Heaven

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

Have you ever noticed that? The Bible is not simple, and it's not man made. It's all interconnected. The first verse of the Old Testament says "in the beginning God created" it all. Of course we know from Genesis chapters 2 and 3 that things went wrong.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1:1. Have you ever noticed that? The Bible is not simple, and it's not man made. It's all interconnected. The first verse of the Old ...read more

Citizens Of Heaven

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 28, 2015

As we imitate Paul’s behaviour, and as we learn from the faith and life of our Christian brothers and sisters, the result is a community of people who resemble Christ. Jesus showed us what it’s like to be fully human and to be right with God.

We are not citizens of the world. Is that a surprise? Not if you’re a Christian. Paul says in Philippians 3:15-21 that we do not belong to the environment in which we live. We live elsewhere. Our citizenship is in heaven. We need to know which realm we are citizens of, because the answer ...read more
