Heaven on your mind ?

                                              Heaven on your mind ?

 While watching videos online I read on my feed a list of videos. One of the video speaking about why Heaven is not so important! A provocative title. I saw the video headline and moved on not willing to waste my time on, what I think is a foolish proposition.  The reality is many of God's people live theirs lives like that headline is true. We read self help books on spiritual growth, sing songs about earthly victories in Christ , all worthy topics. God  does deserve our praise, the Psalms are filled with songs of praise,  and many of the topics we write, preach and sing about have a place. The problem is forgetting about what Jesus sasy is our first priority. Our prayers many times are filled with requests for our daily bread and not God spiritual "bread".  Moses tells us in Exodus 13:21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. 22 The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people."Like the children of God in the wilderness, sometimes we care less about his presence and more about getting quail , manna and water. 

   Are we seeking heaven? If we are then we should be thinking about Heaven more  and more! Being in Heaven and  in God's presence , Paul longed for Heaven and God's presence. 2 Corinthians 5:8  He sasy "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him." We should stop each day, several times a day and ask am I seeking Heaven , or do i spend my time seeking my promotion , my new car  my new romantic partner , my kids happiness, my happiness, my next meal, or my next vacation.  

   We going to spend eternity in the Kingdom of God and with the Trinity.  If we are truly seeking, as we are told to, we would not living our lives fully focus of the material and earthly. They have a palce but Jesus says in Matthew 6:30 "Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

   So today or tommorrow ask your self : When was the last time I thought about heaven and God's kingdom work in my life and the life of others. Was it more times than you thought about that new amazon purchase or exciting vacation, your family , friends , home , or political cause.  We all hoping to go to heaven and I wonder what it will be like dont you.

Trapped in a burning building with one way out !

                                   Trapped in a burning building with one way out !     I was listening to Mike winger, who is a Christian apologist and speaker.  He was discussing how people get angry when they are told that there's only one way to heaven.  a burning  anger comes at being told there is one way to be right with God, one way not to end up in hell or more specifically the lake of fire. Many people get upset and angry Christians have been branded as elitist, phobic and intolerant because of this TRUTH. A truth spoken by Jesus Christ himself. John 14: 6 "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. "  That is clear but what about those before Christ well the bible says in Romans 4: 4 "What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by...

Psalm 100 lesson

 Psalm 100  gratitude attitude, King James Version 1. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.    Someone once asked a question, Why I call people Saints and they say you you can't call us Saints because we're not perfect. No Saint is perfect. The Bible refers to believers or followers of Jesus as Saints to the Saints at this church, to the Saints at this house. It simply means we've been saved. You know in in the in the Catholic culture or religion or way of understanding the Bible, you have to do some tremendous outstanding achievements to to gain. S...
