What comes to mind when you think of heaven? Heaven is referred to in fifty-four of the Bible's sixty-six books, and the final two chapters of the Bible are a virtual travelogue of our heavenly home. To visualize heaven accurately, study the Bible continually.

Some believe we have little or no role in our own Christian maturity. God does everything, they think, and we simply have to "let go and let God." After all, if it's the "fruit of the Spirit," we should passively let him work within us as we abide in Christ.

Every decision we make has to be evaluated in light of our life-changing commitment to being a servant of Christ and His kingdom.

We may go to church once a week, but our Christian life is daily - step-by-step.

God has stepped in at the last minute more than once in history (remember Moses at the Red Sea?). And He can do the same for you. Keep turning the pages by faith and let the story play out to the end.

God created the heavens and the earth to reveal His glory. Don't allow creation to eclipse and steal the worship God desires and deserves.
