How is Heaven Like the New Year?
There is an idea going about that we can’t know what Heaven is like and will never know until we get there.

Reigning Over Everyone And Everything
Reading the book of Revelation, it occurs to me that the greatest thing we can take away from it is that God reigns over everyone and everything for all of history.

And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with… Continue reading
