Requiesce In Pace

Ray Evans • March 12, 2020
Our forefathers understood that when we die, we enter into God's rest...thus, you see "Rest In Peace" or "RIP" on many gravestones.

Today, preachers love to promote that when we die, we get to party with friends and loved ones in a mansion on streets of gold.  We get to live a new life, just like the one we have on earth...only better.

Sorry to disappoint, but this view of "heaven" is not supported by scripture; nor is kneeling before God and worshiping him for eternity...the only position supported by scripture, old and new testaments, is "sleep." 

With very few exceptions, everyone in the Bible who dies goes to "sleep with their fathers." 

Now, before you have a conniption fit consider...sleep is not a bad thing; in fact, sleep is the most merciful.

Partying with friends?  What if Dad, or God forbid, Mom, wasn't there?  How would you like to think, for eternity, about loved ones in hell?  God would not do that to his kids.  Heaven is not a continual party with friends; heaven is just a cemetery for souls where we (good and bad) will "sleep" until judgement.

Don't worry about those who have passed; their fate is already sealed and there's nothing you can do about it anyway.  If it helps you to think they're waiting for you in heaven, or watching over you on earth, okay; believe whatever you want; no one can disprove it.  In fact, heaven can be anything you want it to be because you won't know until you die.  If you want to believe "heaven" is a playground for "believers," have at it.  Of course if you're wrong, it will be too late to do anything about it.

You see, "Heaven" is not the issue...it's judgement.  "Heaven" is just a place to rest until you stand before God to be judged...at that time, according to your works, you will receive either eternal life or be tossed into the lake of fire and brimstone.  "Heaven" notwithstanding, what you do on earth will determine where you will spend eternity.

Here Is Wisdom: Stop focusing on the afterlife, and start focusing on life today.

How you live your life matters...it will determine your eternal future.

There's A New World Coming

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.

Be Careful Whom You Choose To Follow

A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.

A Part or Apart?

By Ray Evans • May 7, 2020
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

The $64,000 Question

By Ray Evans • May 6, 2020
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
