Because nothing is more relevant to how we live today than what we believe about tomorrow. God didn’t fill the Bible with details about the future just to satisfy our curiosity or to spark theological debates. He gave us these promises to strengthen our lives today.
The truth is that heaven is transformational. Yes, we will be transformed when we enter our eternal home, but I’m talking about today! Heaven transforms us now. It works in our hearts and minds. It gives us perspective. It makes us hopeful, steady, forward-looking. It infuses us with strength, comfort, confidence, and a sense of purpose. The Bible’s teaching about heaven is like a rocket booster, pulling us forward toward the most meaningful life possible.” (David Jeremiah, “The Promise of Heaven,” page 258)
And note this important reminder of the next Vital Signs Saturday Brunch coming up on Saturday morning, March 28 beginning at 10 and ending before noon. As usual at our brunch parties, the meal will be delicious and plentiful, but the primary blessing of the event will be the heavenly fellowship you’ll experience with like-minded Christians. And, in this case, I mean heavenly in a very literal sense because the subject to be discussed that morning is just that -- heaven! Please consider joining us.
