An excerpt from Deadline

“You’ve taught me so much, Zyor. This place is wonderful, much more wonderful than I had even dreamed. And, besides Elyon himself, you’ve been the most wonderful part of it. I’m so glad we’re here together, finally able to talk face to face as friends.”

“I am but a tiny part of your life here, which has just begun, with endless eons of joyous adventure ahead, in Elyon’s new universe.” The mighty one’s face softened into its most childlike features. “But I am honored you believe that part significant.”

In 1952, young Florence Chadwick stepped into the waters of the Pacific Ocean off Catalina Island, determined to swim to the shore of mainland California.

Are animals capable of praising God?

Throughout Scripture we read that animals praise God. I don't know exactly how animals praise God, but our inability to understand it shouldn't keep us from believing it.

Are we really supposed to think about heaven?

Like a bride's dreams of sharing a home with her groom, our love for heaven should be overflowing and contagious, just like our love for God. Our passion for God and our passion for heaven should be inseparable.

50 Days of Heaven: An Excerpt

Throughout the ages, Heaven has played a dominant role in the thoughts and lives of God’s people. Heaven is the North Star by which countless Christians have navigated their lives. But have you noticed? Heaven today has largely fallen off our radar screens. If we are honest, we must admit that we are not daily and consciously looking forward to Heaven, much less to a New Earth. We’ve reduced Heaven to an otherworldly state, and we’ve ignored the clear biblical promise of a redeemed universe over which we will serve as God’s delegated rulers. We’ve ...

Can people in Heaven see what’s happening on Earth?

Yes, people in Heaven have some idea of what’s going on here. They may not know or pay attention to everything that’s happening (like the time you slipped ice into your brother’s pillowcase). But the martyrs in Revelation 6 knew that God hadn’t yet brought judgment on those who killed them, so it’s likely that they knew many other things about what’s happening on earth.

Eternal Rewards

ETERNAL REWARDS

It is my happiness that I have served Him who never fails to reward His servants to the full extent of His promise. – John Calvin

Consider, to provoke you to good works, that you shall have from God, when you come to glory, a reward for everything you do for him on earth.

Whatever good thing you do for Him, if done according to the Word, is laid up for you as treasure in chests and coffers, to be brought out to be rewarded before both men and angels, to your eternal comfort. — John Bunyan

He who provides for this life but takes no care for eternity is wise for a moment but a fool forever. — John Tillotson

Earth’s not our home…or is it?

The Bible teaches that our eternal home will be a place we’ve already been—earth. It will be a New Earth, a transformed earth.

El Cielo ¡Un Lugar Emocionante! (Heaven, An Exciting Place!)

Es natural que el hombre que está a punto de navegar hacia Australia o Nueva Zelanda esté ansioso por saber algo sobre su futuro hogar, su clima, sus condiciones de empleo, sus habitantes, la forma en que se hacen las cosas allí y sus costumbres. Si esperamos vivir para siempre en esa patria mejor, es decir, la celestial, deberíamos tratar de obtener todo el conocimiento que pudiéramos sobre ella. Antes de ir a nuestro hogar celestial deberíamos tratar de conocerlo.

Jonathan Edwards, el gran predicador puritano, habló con frecuencia del cielo. Él dijo: "Sería bueno que ...

Does the idea we may inhabit other planets lend credit to the Mormon belief that you get your own planet when you die?

Question from a reader:
In Chapter 26 of your Heavenbook, you discuss space and time. You say, “I can easily envision our inhabiting and governing other resurrected planets.” Does this lend credit to the Mormon belief that you get your own planet when you die?
