In his book The Eclipse of Heaven, theology professor A. J. Conyers argues that until recently the doctrine of Heaven was enormously important to the church. Belief in Heaven was not just a nice auxiliary sentiment. It was a central, life-sustaining conviction. Sadly, even for countless Christians, that is no longer true.

Randy spoke with John Rinehart on the Gospel Patrons Instagram. In this clip, Randy says, “Resurrected people living on a resurrected earth, for all eternity with the resurrected Jesus—what we will enjoy together is so far beyond this life. That is where an eternal perspective comes in as it relates to our PRESENT happiness; because we front load the realities of eternity into our life today.”

Earlier this year I did a podcast with Jordan Raynor to talk about the difference between Heaven and the New Earth, and what it means for our work. Also, how the certain hope of the Gospel is empowering my wife Nanci in her struggles with cancer.

Christ promises on the New Earth, “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Revelation 21:4). If your children know and accept Jesus as their Savior, you can look forward to renewed and loving relationships in His presence.

As Randy has written elsewhere, "What matters isn't what someone else says, but what the Bible says." So Catholic theology may get aspects of this right and others wrong (and of course, we all need to be humble enough to check our theology against Scripture)
