@lukedsimmons @CTpastors I appreciate the article, but I feel this might be a response to a consumer mindset: “What’s in it for me?” There is a sense in which all people ask that, but shouldn’t they also be asking, “What can I offer?” and will this church enable/train me to do it?

Ever wish you could get inside the head of a guest to your church? As you prepare for Easter, it's worth considering. In my writing debut for @CTpastors, I offer some insight.

@branthansen Also, IT Crowd at #1 is mad respect.

@revchadbrooks They used to actually do this. Many of the books were $2.99.

I wish Amazon had some sort of discount price for Kindle Books once someone has purchased the physical one. I'm thinking of those HEAVY physical books that I also buy a Kindle copy just to wordsearch and find references.

@birdchadlouis It adds about five minutes to every funeral/graveside I do but it’s an important truth and distinction.

Attend many Christian funerals, and you’ll hear “heaven” mentioned constantly. Uncle Gary is “in heaven,” the preacher proclaims. “Grandma Jones is in her heavenly resting place,” a family member adds. The choir sings of being strangers here; heaven is our home. There’s one serious problem with this: we focus on a nice stopping place but overlook our ultimate destination. Imagine moving to a dream home, built just for you, nestled in a beautiful landscape. Along the way, you stop at a scenic hotel for the night. It’s lovely, but you don’t mistake it for your final home. In the morning, you leave without hesitation, eager to reach your true destination. Yet many Christians speak as if heaven is the final goal. It’s not. As one book title puts it, Heaven: It’s Not the End of the World. Heaven is wonderful, but it’s not our home. When believers die, they go to paradise (Luke 23:43). They are with Christ (Phil. 1:23). This is good—more than good! But it’s not the end. God’s goal is not for us to remain in heaven, but to live on a new earth (Isaiah 65:17; Rev. 21:1-2). Creation groans, waiting for Christ’s return, when it will be freed from corruption (Rom. 8:21-22). We are not destined to be angels or spirits but resurrected people, bearing Christ’s glorified image. When Jesus returns, he will raise our bodies—whether buried, burned, or lost—restoring them perfectly. We will stand, embodied and glorified, on a renewed earth. The story will come full circle: from Eden, where humanity lived and worked in God’s presence, to the new creation, where we will do the same in a world made new. A world made better than ever before. I can't wait to leave heaven because it's not home. It’s the best “hotel” ever, but when the morning of new creation dawns, I’ll leave it behind for the perfect earth and the perfect body God has prepared for me. For the Christian, home is resurrection life on the new earth. That’s the destination. That’s our final home. -summarized from my longer article, "I Can't Wait to Get Out of Heaven" at 1517.org

@lukedsimmons Not even looking at replies I know it's Hebrews 6.

Quiz: What text am I preaching today? Commentators said: These verses are some of the most difficult verses in the entire NT. (Mohler) The passage we now consider [is] one of the most controversial in the book... indeed, one of the most disputed in the entire NT. (Guthrie)

Immediately stopped what I was doing and just…outstanding. Cannot praise this enough.

@revchadbrooks Words of Radiance. Those that know, know.

What has been your favorite read over the last few weeks?

@bobstevenson Good to see the comments move to personal attack and slander. Sigh. So many forget that with God the way up is down. It’s like they completely overlook Isaiah 52–53, Philippians 2, and even the cross itself.

@bobstevenson I see it as boiling down to a defense of the comfort many had in a nominally-Christian way of life—an association of power and comfort with their belief system. This is counter to everything the Bible reveals about the genuine Christian experience.

@bobstevenson It’s almost as if many Christians—genuine Christians—forget 1 Peter all together. Submissive, gentle, hopeful, and even a different nation first.

@BrockWager Oh, those are the best! 😀

@agentgray These are compression socks! Oooooooo!

We’re just normal, innocent men who are getting some pretty fancy socks this morning.
