“I don't think we've got the gospel right yet. What does it mean to be 'saved'? When I read the Bible, I don't see it meaning, 'I'm going to heaven after I die.' Before modern evangelicalism nobody accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, or walked down an aisle, or said the sinner's prayer.” ThinkingMeanDoeSaidDiesJesusHeavenChristPrayerModernJesus ChristAcceptedSavedSinnerSaviorAisleGoing To Heaven Author:Brian D.

“In the Bible, shalom means universal flourishing, wholeness, and delight--a rich state of affairs in which natural needs are satisfied and natural gifts fruitfully employed, a state of affairs that inspires joyful wonder as its Creator and Savior opens doors and welcomes the creatures in whom he delights. Shalom, in other words, is the way things ought to be.” WayNeedsMeanStatesNaturalWonderRichDoorsInspireOughtCreaturesUniversalAffairDelightCreatorSatisfiedSaviorJoyfulWholenessEmployedFlourishingNatural GiftsShalom Author:Cornelius Plantinga
