  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Until Heaven, Hold Onto Jesus
“Yet, the life I now live before entering heaven, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. So, until then I will hold fast to the Lord my God.”

Joshua 28:8
but you shall hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.

I was pondering heaven while washing dishes the other day. “Lord, thankfully I won’t be doing this in heaven,” I mused with a smile. Indeed, when we get to paradise, we won’t need to do any of the chores we do in this life. But on the other hand, neither will we be involved in any activities we deem pleasurable here on earth. Heaven is a place like no other.

Heaven is the dwelling of our loving, eternal, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God. The Bible tells us that heaven is filled with his glory. There will be no need for the sun or a lamp as the splendour of God fills its expanse. Often called the New Jerusalem, heaven will be a place of majesty with streets of gold, gates of pearl and foundations decorated with precious stones. God will wipe away every tear, there shall be no more death, nor sadness, nor crying nor pain. It will be a place of splendid glory, peace and ecstasy (no washing dishes). And the pleasures we enjoy on earth will pale into utter insignificance compared to the euphoric pleasure of being in God’s perpetual presence.

Heaven will be eternal (and we have eternal life through Jesus). Won’t we get tired or bored living forever, year after year, millennium after millennium? No, because as we will exist in infinite time, we will only experience it as a moment - one eternal moment of grandeur.

Still, what of now? How do I live in the here and now before I cross over to be with him in his paradise? I long to be there, not here washing dishes. This 21st-century world is filled with pain, corruption and decay, I want out! And yet, I have a mandate from my Lord that qualifies me to remain here on earth; a lifelong mandate to make disciples of all nations so that others may hold to the hope of glory to which I hold.

Christ in me is the hope of glory. I long to be home with Jesus in the splendour of his glory. Yet, the life I now live before entering heaven, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. So, until then I will hold fast to the Lord my God.

God-tracking is holding on until Jesus comes.
