     | 5,372 views

    God is Dad! The Bible declares that the Father’s passionate rejoicing over His children echoes throughout the heavenlies.

    How do people imagine God to be when they pray? Is He far from them or is He near? Is He powerful or passive? Is He disgusted with them or in love with them? Is He a mean old man, or a kindly grandpa-type, or neither? Is He listening? Does He care for them? Can He help them? What a person believes ...read more

    Persecution against the children of God is meant to accomplish two things... shut them up and shut them down.

    Matthew 5: 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    Until Jesus returns and ushers in the eternal heaven, what is life like for God's children who are in heaven now?

    We have made note of the fact that God isn’t through with heaven. When a child of God dies, they pass into the immediate presence of our Lord and do go to heaven. But the heaven they go to is an intermediate heaven. Upon the return of our Lord, He will establish a new heaven and a new earth - ...read more
