A Better Place Than Heaven

Contributed by John Gaston on May 30, 2013

Many Christians are more anxious to go to heaven than to remain here and work. Heaven is wonderful, but the Bible reveals why the Earth is still the focus of heaven's attention, and why most heavenly saints still probably wish they were down here!

A BETTER PLACE THAN HEAVEN 1 Jn. 2:28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Tom and Matt were best of friends, they played football once a week for 50 years. 2. When they were getting older, they had an argument about whether people play football in heaven. So they agreed that whoever died first would let ...read more

Crossing the Line Scripture: Romans 3:5-6 5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might ...read more
