“Heaven is a wonderful place,
Filled with glory and grace.
I want to see my Savior’s face,
Because heaven is wonderful place.” [1]
When we realize how wonderful God is and how splendid His eternal kingdom is, it seems a small thing to obey His will. For example, Moses chose to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin. The heroes of the Christian faith embraced and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. They desired a better country, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God was not ashamed to be called their God, for He prepared a [heavenly] city for them. [2]
“The path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.” [3] The brighter days happen as we grow in Christlikeness. The final outcome of our walk with Christ is a better and heavenly country.

Heaven is a Wonderful Place
The Lord Jesus has graced me with revelations from the Book of Jeremiah that are helpful to better understanding the relevance of the Law, the Prophets, the Gospel, the Apostles, and the Book of Revelation. I am in the midst of preparing 54 video-recorded presentations, one for each chapter of Jeremiah, plus an intro and conclusion presentation. When the presentations are done, I plan to publish them on YouTube. I also welcome invitations to share these revelations in-person. In the meantime, I publish articles online, intercede for the peoples of the nations, and say to the Lord, “Here am I Lord, send me.”
