When I read the following article I thought what a reminder it was of what we, as believers in Christ, have to look forward to. Having this perspective especially helps me when I are going through trials. http://www.epm.org/resources/2011/Sep/12/how-does-considering-coming-new-earth-change-our-p/ Martinc Registered user Username: Martinc Post Number: 253 Registered: 9-2006 Posted on Friday, September 23, 2011 - 12:23 pm:        Thanks for linking that, Deb, that is really uplifting. Randy Alcorn has a terrific book called "Heaven," that challenges a lot of unbiblical thinking the church inherited from Plato and old Athens. He shows how Heaven is going to be so very "earthy," yet as the best of all worlds.

We also want others to accept Jesus so they can have a reward.
