Heaven is imagined to be many different things by many different people, yet scripture guarantees the glory of heaven is worship of the LORD forever. Scripture also describes heaven as Holy. Christ Jesus IS the only way we will live to worship God in heaven forever.

    “What good is it for man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

    MK 8:36-37 (NIV)

    The Letter

    Do you not realize that the master Builder of your soul cares enough to have written an entire book of love letters to you?

    Do you not know He cares deeply for the human soul?

    He reaches out to touch your soul.

    He treasures you as a friend.

    Your worth is special to Him.

    He wants you to know that your soul is to be cared for and highly though of;

    It is not to be thrown about and discarded as though it were trash.

    Just as the child builds up the walls of his sandcastle on the beach;

    You must protect your soul from the dangerous elements of the world.

    The Master Builder wants you to open and read His love letter to you.

    He wants you to find all the treasures that He has placed inside just for you.

    You will find your path in this letter.

    You will learn how to respect yourself and others through this reading.

    Will you take this journey to discovery your soul?

    A Temporary Throne – 10

    CHAPTER 10

    I spoke my plea to the LORD, as I had done so many times before pled to Him through prayer:

    “Lord, You know all things. May Your will be done… on earth, as it is in Heaven… Lord, in my life, may your will be done. All glory to You Lord, for Your Perfect Most-Loving Sacrifice for me…”

    “Lord, would you not save my most beloved ones, for whom I pray? Lord, has your silence been due to my sin?”

    “Is it because my witness of You, Lord Christ, does not further your Name? “

    “Do You want these I love most to see only my sin and not Your Own Righteousness?”

    (I realized that I had already said too much.)

    The Lord’s answer to this forgiven sinner, who repeatedly falls far short of God’s will, might well fill my ears for an eternity.

    DEAR ROGER, FOR THIS FAITH YOU STAND BEFORE ME.

    If I had not been so surrounded by the glory and the joy of Heaven, I would have shed a tear, as often I do now.

    When I think back on it, I now see clearly from this foreign place of our service to God, where sin is allowed: This is only UNTIL HIS RETURN to reign on earth, as it is in Heaven.

    Christ has already promised this through His Revelation to John:

    21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

    God, in the Person of Christ Jesus after His resurrection, has already revealed to John, His certain promise and completion of these last days in fulfillment of His Kingdom.

    May His will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.

    A Temporary Throne – 1

    CHAPTER 1

    I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN.
    I can’t really say how it happened, but I found myself in Heaven at the THRONE OF GOD.

    It wasn’t at all what I expected. In fact, (if thought or dream could even be spoken of as a fact of reality), I was certain that I had been called to the THRONE OF GOD for a reason NOT related to a Judgment of my life. For that, I was thankful.

    I had fallen to my face before GOD, clinging to the ground (or whatever it was), as though I were dead. In fact, (again, if the retold image of thought or dream can even be spoken), I lay on the ground dead – just like a corpse in a casket – except face DOWN.

    I WAS DEAD… or had been… but here I lay at the foot of the THRONE OF GOD. And before the THRONE, I knew that I was ALIVE – here on the ground (or clouds, or whatever it was).

    I lay there awaiting the VOICE OF GOD; for I was certain that I had been summoned to appear before the THRONE. I had no thought when GOD might speak; but as I lay there like a corpse not yet raised to life again, I listened.
