I was recently listening to Chris Tomlin’s version of “Is He Worthy?”, and that prompted me to share some thoughts related to two favorite passages of mine, Revelation 5 and Daniel 7. 

In this video clip, Randy Alcorn and Greg Laurie talk about having an eternal perspective and how our belief in the life to come should affect us in the day-to-day. 

In this video clip, Randy Alcorn and Greg Laurie talk about what we can expect when we get to Heaven, what we might wear and what we might eat.

God’s people are aliens and strangers, looking for a country of their own. This world, as it is now, under the curse, isn’t our home. But one day not only we but the earth itself will be remade. That earth, the New Earth, will not only be a place made for us but the place we were made for.

In this video clip, Randy Alcorn talks about the connection between storing up your treasures in Heaven, while also living the good life here on earth

In my book Heaven, I share how years ago, Nanci read me letters we’d never before seen translated, written in 1920 by her grandmother Anna Swanson to her family in Sweden. Anna suffered severe health problems. While she was in Montana, cared for by relatives, her husband, Edwin, was in Oregon, working and caring for their seven children day and night.

I sometimes ponder what it’ll be like to see Jesus, to fall on my knees before Him, then talk with Him and eat with Him and walk with Him as a resurrected person living on a resurrected Earth. 

We’re told that those coming out of the Great Tribulation will be specially rewarded by being given a place “before the throne of God,” where they will “serve him day and night” (Revelation 7:14-15). Notice that the Master rewards His faithful servants not by taking away responsibilities but by giving them greater ones.

Some time ago Greg Laurie asked me to interview me about Heaven, Happiness, and Hope at his Harvest Fellowship churches in Southern California. I’ve written multiple books on the first two subjects so as I prepared I put my focus on HOPE. And God really did encourage me and renew my hope even as Nanci and I face another challenging episode in her cancer journey.
