“In heaven, we will see Him, know Him, be with Him, serve Him, and reign with Him!”

“I think what hides under the surface of both approaches, though, is fear. Fear of God. Fear of there being no God; fear of there being a God who is in a perpetual state of irritation; fear of discovering that your religion got it horribly wrong; fear of being afraid because that is assuredly a sin. The people here wrap themselves in what they fear most, like hunters who would dress themselves in the animal skins of fierce predators, while we pay distant homage to that same horrific thing from behind the three-inch safety glass of pious ceremony.”

“The desire to compete and win is part of what motivates great athletes to play their best. But the negative thought (fear) of losing also drives them to pursue victory. The same is true concerning the bema. Paul saw himself as a competitor, determined to win. How awesome then must our God be that when we see Him, we will either desperately wish or jubilantly celebrate that our life had been devoted to Him?”

“Satan does not know the exact time of Christ’s return or when the restrainer will be removed, so he must have a potential candidate for the Antichrist ready in every generation.”

“The Rapture goes way beyond the sensationalism of an apocalyptic movie. And it was never intended to be a salvation scare tactic. Instead, it’s a romance. An ancient promise fulfilled. A moment in time when the bride of the ages finally beholds her bridegroom. It’s when Christians realize how imperfect their vision of Jesus has been. They realize how little they thought of Him and how weak their worship of Him was. He is more majestic than the preacher had described. More powerful than He had been portrayed in books. More beautiful than they had imagined.”
