Preparing for Heaven by Gary Black, Jr. Pdf

In his acclaimed books, renowned writer, speaker, and philosophy professor Dallas Willard explored the nature of Christian life in God's Kingdom. Yet one topic remained undisclosed: Willard's understanding of heaven and eternal life. In the months before his death, Willard engaged in moving and insightful conversations about the meaning of life and the life to come with close friend and theologian Gary Black Jr. These inspiring dialogues were steeped in biblical theology as well as practical wisdom grounded in the here-and-now. In Preparing for Heaven Black reveals not only Willard's profound and liberating vision of life after death, he also deftly unpacks the implications these realities hold for our lives today. Black shows how Willard understood our mortal lives as preparation for what comes next—that death is not the end of one life and the beginning of another, but rather a transition through which we continue the transformational work begun on Earth. Informative, challenging, and poignant, Willard and Black's conversations and insights challenge us to reconsider our beliefs—that perhaps the line separating the afterlife from this life is not as absolute as we think, and that there is work to be done both now and in the glorious life to come. As a result we will find that our faith is more vibrant—and eternal—than we have dared to imagine.

Preparation For Heaven by C.H. Spurgeon Pdf

Preparation for Heaven is a message of meditation based on the Bible and written by one of the most important Christian writers of all time. A devotional message of faith and hope for you. Charles Haddon (CH) Spurgeon,19 June 1834 - 31 January 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher. Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, among whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist , defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day. It is estimated that in his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000 people,Spurgeon was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was part of several controversies with the Baptist Union of Great Britain and later had to leave the denomination. In 1867, he started a charity organisation which is now called Spurgeon's and works globally. He also founded Spurgeon's College, which was named after him posthumously. Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Spurgeon produced powerful sermons of penetrating thought and precise exposition. His oratory skills held his listeners spellbound in the Metropolitan Tabernacle and many Christians have discovered Spurgeon's messages to be among the best in Christian literature.

A Soul Prepared for Heaven by W. Britt Stokes Pdf

From his first publication of hymns in 1707, common knowledge regarding Isaac Watts (1674–1748) often revolves around his hymn-writing legacy. Though Watts legacy as a hymnographer is significant, he also functions as a key transitional figure between the English Puritans and the Evangelicals during eighteenth-century English dissent. As a pastor, theologian, philosopher, and literary mainstay of his era, Watts' influence grew well beyond his early work in hymnody to impact scores of Christians on both sides of the Atlantic. Watts' approach to Christian spirituality is an area of his thought thats been unexplored. This book provides the first ever analysis of Watts' theological vision for the Christian spiritual life. In emphasizing the experience of holiness and happiness, Watts leans heavily upon his Reformed theological heritage to underscore how knowing and loving God are central to God's preparation of the soul for heaven.

Heaven and Hell by Bart D. Ehrman Pdf

Over half of Americans believe in a literal heaven, in a literal hell. Most people who hold these beliefs are Christian and assume they are the age-old teachings of the Bible. Ehrman shows that eternal rewards and punishments are found nowhere in the Old Testament, and are not what Jesus or his disciples taught. He recounts the long history of the afterlife, ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh up to the writings of Augustine, focusing especially on the teachings of Jesus and his early followers. Ehrman shows that competing views were intimately connected with the social, cultural, and historical worlds out of which they emerged. -- adapted from jacket

The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God.

God's Secrets Revealed: As the War in Heaven Continues on Earth - PREPARE FOR THE FALL OF AMERICA by Cynthia Anne Dahm Pdf

Will America suffer the same fate as Atlantis? Atlantis was God’s first large province created after Lucifer was cast from heaven, but not before the ultimate fallen angel, renamed Satan, rebelled, causing untold chaos, death and destruction in the universe. Eventually, the devil’s hatred of God’s creation, law and order carried over into this world to such an extreme, only God Himself could intervene. It came in the form of a “pole shift”; the great Cataclysm that sank Atlantis, killing millions and sending the fallen angels or “dark lights” scattering. But God knew history would repeat itself as our world is once again experiencing the devastating effects of when man doesn’t learn from his mistakes; as greed, corruption and abuse of power relentlessly continues. The turmoil on earth has always been a Spiritual War between the Forces of Good and Evil that began in the cosmos. Earth was created as a “schoolhouse” to provide lessons for those who lost their physical bodies but not their souls, in the great Universal Battle, due to Satan’s deception. This battle will be permitted to play out according to Bible prophecy, wherein ones will again be given the chance to choose whose side they’re on, Christ or the devil. When global order deteriorates, especially in America, to the point of no return as is happening now, God will need to directly intervene again just as He did before in the antediluvian era, by bringing Judgment in the form of another pole shift. Meanwhile, Satan, knowing his time is short, is working overtime to take as many souls with him to eternal damnation, doing so through earthly minions, those who’ve sold out and are doing his bidding. The Mark of the Beast of Rev. 13 is destined to become the devil’s greatest tool to make this happen. And it’s just around the corner. This book shares some of God’s best kept secrets such as an elaborate account of the War in Heaven and how it affects everyone; also the Levels Planet System, why Earth was created and how it’s actually an extension of God’s mercy, the truth of past lives, benevolent human-looking beings from other planets and living spacecraft, the lost continent of Atlantis and how it parallels with America, soul mates or the “marriage made in heaven,” who guides and missioned beings are and much more. But its greatest purpose is to warn and help people prepare for the future so all can make the right choice for God and live forever, not only on a purified earth, but also within the realms of our original homeland, the place where everyone’s from, the universe.

Love Wins by Rob Bell Pdf

Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Troubling questions—so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud. But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them? What if it is God who wants us to face these questions? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins.
