I heard Randy Alcorn speak at The Way last night. He shared in a q/a format from his book titled Heaven. I haven’t read the book but know many who have. It was really interesting to hear, though probably over the head for the average person.
One thing that came to my mind is how much focus Christians put on the tribulation and the events of Revelation, and how little focus we give to what heaven will be like. That needs to change, now.
