“And now the best couple I’ve ever known... they’re reunited. They’re together again, celebrating with Jesus. They’re both looking down on us, waiting for us to join them in the eternal joy Heaven offers. But right now, I’m here. I’m stuck navigating the dark and treacherous road that is life, now without the two greatest role models I’ve ever had. A sob escapes my throat, my palms failing to soak the spilling tears.”

“...the Bible reveals that the untwisted virtues of each culture will be displayed in heaven. Can you imagine how glorious that will be? Revelation 21:24-26 (NIV) puts it this way: 'The kings of the earth will bring their splendor into [the heavenly city]....The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.' That is what God is doing today! Through the Good News of God's love in sending Jesus as our Mediator - the One who can straighten the twists - the ugly, frightening side of each culture can be removed. In the Kingdom of God, the West needs the East and the East needs the West. As we learn to see each other as God sees us in Jesus Christ, we are preparing for that day when the unique beauty of every culture will be fully restored, displaying the glory our Creator planned from the beginning of time.”

“There is one Father who will never give up on us. There is One out there who never leaves you and who would love to have a relationship with you. This Daddy wants to hear all about your day, the good and the bad times. I am describing God, the Dad in Heaven who loves you.”

“There are people that don't believe in heaven or hell. Then I look at the deep sky beautiful in its blue firmament where birds take wing and white clouds moving in wind, and then a burning sun in the midst of it. I think, if there couldn't be a hell, how can there be an eternal burning sun that consumes as a lake of fire? With the sun being a star, Lucifer was known as the Morning Star. Lucifer, being the Devil is already destined to hell. In a metaphorical twist, we call this star our sun, and Jesus the son of God, who's face we can't look into from sheer brightness. I wonder if this same sun will ultimately be hell in the end, and those who reject the Son as their redeemer, will ultimately be cast into this sun of burning fire. As for now, this sun will give us time to repent, light and warmth, but will turn to punishment in the judgment days. This alone makes me believe there's a heaven and hell.”
