It’s not that often I read a book that deals with Heaven, the New Earth, or Eternal Reward when I feel like the author really “gets it.” Jordan Raynor has done his homework and really gets it. Hope you enjoy this excerpt from The Sacredness of Secular Work.

Randy Alcorn shares with Costi Hinn on For the Gospel podcast about why believers shouldn’t have a “bucket list mentality.” Rather, we can look forward to the incredible New Earth to come! 

Randy visited Shepherd’s House Bible Church in Arizona and spoke at their college/young adult ministry, The Fold. He answered questions about many topics including Heaven, the love of money, dating and how to be a young Christ follower.

Randy spoke at Shepherd’s House Bible Church about Heaven. He shares what we know about the present Heaven and the New Earth from Scripture, and reminds listeners of the real hope God’s children have for our future home. 

While Randy believes that it is quite possible that God allows believers in Heaven to see us at least sometimes, and for sure they have a front-row seat to what God is doing on Earth, it is helpful to remember that Scripture’s focus is on how God sees our lives, and ultimately, we want to please Him.
