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.

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 2, 2017

I’m trying to follow you best I can. Why, Lord?” Yet, perhaps the better question would be, “Lord, what do you want me to ...read more
