Heaven and Why I Want to Go There
A few weeks ago, I did a
mini review of a book by Rob Bell entitled “Love Wins.” As you may remember,
Bell has determined that heaven will be nothing more than a glorified earth
where God will banish anything that is “bad.” I discussed at the time, that Bell’s
concept of heaven has little to do with the scriptural idea and very much to do
with the concept that man has of what heaven “ought” to look like. As humans,
we have a tendency to fill in the gaps with our thoughts and ideas about what
heaven, or anything we have not experienced or seen, is like.

The Bible Tells Me So

Jonah’s Decision
One of the most interesting characters in all of the Bible has
to be Jonah the prophet. Just about everyone knows at least some of the story
of Jonah, especially the part where he is swallowed up by the big fish (most of
the stories, especially children’s stories, say it was a whale) and, after
three days, is spat up by the fish unto dry land. But often we read Jonah’s
adventure without really understanding what the book is all about. In the story
of Jonah, we are faced with some very important issues that we all come face to
face with at one time or another. They are the sovereignty of God, man’s
decisions and Jesus’ resurrection. And it is God’s sovereignty that I’d like to
discuss briefly here.
