A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven.Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.Part 2 Mike Paris Tent Coordinator discus the event.Gospel Tent Revival Meetings Every Night - Wells, Maine August 23rd-30th.Sunday August 23rd Through Tuesday Evening the 25th 7:00 PM: Evangelist Mark Dunfee of New Jersey will be preaching, prophesying and praying for people.

It's a synonym for heaven. Revelation 21:1 - Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. No more sea is a reference to the fact that God will remove every threat to His redeemed people. TRUTH #1: HEAVEN IS 2 Then I,John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. TRUTH #2: HEAVEN IS 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. TRUTH #3: HEAVEN IS THE PLACE OF GOD'S PRESENCE In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” TRUTH #4: HEAVEN IS A PLACE OF HEALING 5 ThenHe who sat on the throne said,“Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”6 And He said to me,“It is done!I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, andI will be his God and he shall be My son.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz explores the freshly released trailer for the upcoming "Smurfs" movie, set to hit theaters on July 18, 2025. Rihanna takes center stage, not only voicing Smurfette but also contributing to the film's music by producing it and writing new songs, including a remake of "Heaven Is a Place on Earth." Directed by Chris Miller and produced by Paramount Animation, this film blends live-action with animation, echoing the style of previous adaptations while paying homage to Peyo's original comic designs through innovative animation techniques. The plot sees the Smurfs on a mission to rescue Papa Smurf in Paris, surrounded by a star-studded cast that includes Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, and Daniel Levy among others. This "Smurfs" film dives into a multiverse of pop culture, drawing inspiration from "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and "Barbie," presenting Smurf Village as an idyllic setting disrupted by an existential journey. Analytic Dreamz dissects the marketing strategy, the soundtrack's anticipated impact, and how this movie aims to blend nostalgia with contemporary storytelling, potentially marking a significant moment for both animation and Rihanna's career in film.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
It's hard to reconcile the importance of a band like Pavement considering their lack of mainstream popularity and pedestrian album sales But like The Velvet Underground and others before them whose underground popularity helped launch a thousand bands, Pavement's twisted takes on pop rock, post-punk, jam bands, and even country somehow make their 1994 sophomore album Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain made a big impression on those looking for something the radio and MTV didn't offer. Witty lyrics, slacker vibes, jangly and occasionally conflicting guitars were present on their debut, but the band honed their skills to craft catchy, off-kilter melodies on tracks like "Cut Your Hair" and "Range Life."

This set is structured a bit differently from past efforts. We typically utilize key mixing for our podcasts, allowing for smoother transitions and a more pleasant listening experience. However, in this episode, the keys aligned perfectly, enabling us to load most of the Tea Dance-style tracks upfront before transitioning into the big circuit tribal beats you're accustomed to. Think of it as a slow build to the big room sound. Don't be fooled though, there's fire from the beginning. We have several notable entries, including the Superchumbo remix of the 80s gay anthem classic "Why" by Bronski Beat featuring a guest vocal by Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys. This was released in conjunction with a newly remastered and expanded edition of their queer classic "Age of Consent" album, a coming-of-age album for young queers in the early 80s. That song is quickly followed up by a remake of Madonna's "Into the Groove" by Drew G, surprisingly released around the same time as the Bronski Beat album in the 80s. Drew transforms the original dance groove into a big room scorcher, reimagining the song for late-night circuit audiences. There are countless Madonna remakes, but this version is truly one for the history books. Since we're on 80s throwbacks, Jace M & Toy Armada deliver the unexpected "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle. A proud LGBTQ+ community supporter and gay icon, Carlisle (of Go-Go's fame) shines in this remix. Jace and Toy's signature big room anthem style turns the giant pop song into a sweeping, hypnotic sing-along that captures the original's spirit. Don't miss it. Of course, we've got a plethora of new material from the diva of the moment, Chappell Roan, as well as Katy Perry, Kesha, Hayla, Anne-Marie, and the always fabulous Kylie Minogue (more on her in a moment). This set also features new and reworked songs from Gen X and Millennial divas like Erin Hamilton (RIP), Miss Suzanne Palmer, Anastacia, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Antoinette Roberson. As you can see, we've packed this set to the gills with old and new favorites that are bound to fuel your workouts for months to come. We had promised to deliver several reworked Diva Hall of Fame episodes but decided to cut it down to one. There seems to be a lack of appreciation for our work, and frankly, I'm not draining my bank account for folk's listening pleasure that refuse to support our efforts. The next release will be the long-overdue update for Kylie Minogue. It will be private and available only to those who've supported us since April — no matte...

On this edition of the Richard Crouse Show we'll meet Kevin Hegge, director of the documentary Tramps, which is now playing in theatres. His film has an up-close-and-personal look at the New Romantics, the countercultural scene that emerged in late 1970s' London. It united outsiders, misfits, and bohemians like Boy George, the scene's most famous member. It is a look back at a time when the artists starved but looked fabulous, but it's also a portrait of artists and their unswerving need to create, whether the canvas was the outrageous clothes they wore, the jewelry that adorned them, or the music they listened to. Tramps does a deep dive into the New Romantics as an art movement rather than solely a pop-cultural one. If you, like me, read magazines like New Musical Express, Face magazine or ID, you saw the photos and read the stories. Tramps brings the scene to vivid life. Then, we get to know Belinda Carlisle. As the lead singer of the Go Gos, who produced hits like "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "We Got the Beat," she fronted the most successful all-female rock band of all time. As a solo artists, she topped the charts with songs like radio hits such as "Mad About You", "I Get Weak", "Circle in the Sand", "Leave a Light On", and "Heaven Is a Place on Earth.” Her new record, “Kismet,” marks her first new English language studio recording since 1997 and the triumphant reunion with hot making songwriter Diane Warren. Finally, I'll introduce you to Chris Nielsen and Bart Batchelor, the Vancouver based co-creators of “Psi Cops,” a new series on Adult Swim Canada and Stack TV. It's the animated story of two paranormal investigators at a company called Psi Cops, who investigate alleged sightings of aliens, ghosts, demons, and other hocus-pocus nonsense. Imagine Mulder and Scully from the X-Files… if they were played by Abbott and Costello. It's a fun show, and we'll tell you all about it, and how Chris and Bart made the leap from advertising to the world of animation.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Heaven Is a World of Love - Charity and Its Fruits Subtitle: Jonathan Edwards's Sermons Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audio Book Date: 2/1/2023 Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 Length: 8 min.
Day 183 Today's Reading: 1 Thessalonians 1 Some time ago I was flying on a 10 p.m. flight. Earlier that day I'd preached four messages. I was exhausted. I noticed the man sitting next to me was reading Heaven Is for Real. This is good. He is a Christian, I thought. I can go to sleep because we are both going to heaven. He saw my Bible, which I'd pulled out to read, and began talking to me—a lot. Come to find out, he was part of a cult. I prayed the strangest prayer that flight: “God, I am so tired. Please don't use me. Find someone else. But I do ask that You don't let this kid die and go to hell.” I felt terrible praying that way, but I simply didn't have the energy to engage him in conversation. As disappointing as I know I must have been to God, the amazing thing is that I was still secure in God's love for me. His love did not decrease one ounce because of my poor tired attitude. He loved me exactly the same when I prayed that lame prayer as when I preached for Him. One of the saddest things that happens in Christianity is that we overemphasize what we do for God rather than what God has done for us. I used to think God loved me only when I was doing good. But 1 Thessalonians reminds me of the truth. Paul starts chapter 1 with a thunderbolt. In fact, I consider it the greatest truth I know, and it's all in verse 4: “My dear friends, God loves you” (CEV). God loves you! Those words change everything and cost everything. I came from a background in Christianity where the emphasis was on how much we love God and not on how much God loves us. In fact, I thought my actions determined how much God loves me. But there is not one thing you and I can do to make God love us any more than He does right now. We believe this in theory but we don't live this way. We think God loves us more when we are at our spiritual best. Here is good news: God loves us the same when we are at our worst on planes praying Don't use me prayers. William Coffin reminds us: “God's love doesn't seek value, it creates value. It is not because we have value that we are loved, but because we are loved that we have value.” Every religion in the world is based on what we do. The stars in those other religions is anyone who dies a martyr, carries a briefcase, rides a bike, or gives up years on the mission field. In Christianity, however, it's all about what God has done. One of my favorite authors, Brennan Manning, said: “My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done nothing to earn it or deserve it.” That's the scandal and that's the deal of the century. So if those words, God loves you, are difficult to accept, let me help you today. There is no greater place to deal with doubts of God's love than at the only place that settles the question—and that's at the cross. In the man Jesus, the invisible God became visible and audible. God can't not love us. The cross is the proof of His love—love that He demonstrated at Calvary. The well-known saying goes like this: I asked God how much He loves me, and He said this much. And He held His hands wide to his side and died for me. When you look at the cross, you see what price you are worth to God. God loves you just as you are and not as you should be. He died for you at your worst. He did not wait for you to change in order to die for you. Isn't it staggering to think you are worth the death of someone and most of all, God? That is what puts a large gulf between Christianity and other religions, such as Islam. Islam asks you to die for Allah, but Christianity has God dying for you. Brennan Manning tells an amazing story in Souvenirs of Solitude: More than a hundred years ago the atheist philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche reproached a group of Christians: “Yuck, you make me sick!” When their spokesman asked why, he answered, “Because you Redeemed don't look like you're redeemed. You're as fearful, guilt-ridden, anxious, confused, and adrift in an alien environment as I am. I'm allowed. I don't believe. I have nothing to hope for. But you people claim you have a Savior. Why don't you look like you are saved?” In Matthew 22 Jesus described the kingdom of God as a wedding feast. Do you really trust that you are going to a wedding feast that has already begun? Do you really believe that God loves you unconditionally and as you are? Are you committed to the idea that the nature of the world is to be a celebration? If you are, then in the words of Father John Powell, S. J., “Please notify your face.” You have something to be happy about: God loves you for who you are. Christianity is not a moral code but a love affair.
150 – I asked for your questions about the Bible. Wow!Several weeks ago, I asked listeners to send in their questions about the Bible. Thanks to everyone who responded. What wonderful and thoughtful questions.Asking questions is one of the most important ways to learn. Unfortunately, some churches discourage questions. They don't want people to think for themselves. I feel the exact opposite.Here are the questions sent in:My responses are not the be-all and end-all answers. But I share a few thoughts and encourage you to think how you would answer these same questions. How do you explain the contradictions in the Bible?Are Adam and Eve the first humans created by God? Is this a legend or not? Should we interpret the Bible literally or figuratively? Does Jesus have siblings? If God is all powerful, all knowing, and all loving why do bad things happen to good people? And since bad things happen, is that a reason we shouldn't believe God is good and all-powerful?Where does evil come from?Where does evil exist? Can you shed some light on the how Jesus multiplied the loaves and the fish?What does the Bible say about eunuchs?If only one of the sixty-six books that comprise the Bible could be preserved for all eternity, which book do you feel it should be?How can we see the Bible stories more spiritually and with fresh eyes instead of just from a human perspective? Are the miracles and healings of the patriarchs, the prophets, Jesus and his disciples, just symbolism of God being in power or can these things happen today? If so, how? If not, why not?Why doesn't God just heal us automatically?You talk about mud as a metaphor for the sins and mistakes in our lives, that can be washed away with God's love and grace. How do you know this is true? What if the "mud" or sin seems really convincing that it's part of us? How do we get rid of muddy thinking?What is your favorite Bible story, quote, or inspiration, and why?If God wants you to do something that is daunting and seems impossible, how do you know it's really God guiding you and not the whispering voice tempting you to jump off the pinnacle of the temple? When times are rough, how do you keep walking in the Spirit, even though you're afraid and times are hard?Here are three previous episodes I mentioned this weekEpisode 17 – If You Take the Bible 100% Literally, You'll miss 90% of What is Says Episode 2 – The Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand Episode 24 – Give Gratitude in Advance of a Healing or Blessing Bible references in this week's episode.

Sorry about the delay folks. I think we got too close to the truth on this one so god had to punish us. But this week, we're talking about how dang hot it is. I really despise the heat, even though I'm not one to go outside too often. But something about this weather feels unnatural. Perhaps some wicked force is trying to heat us all up in an effort to weaken us? Could it be global warming? Beats me, but we're going to talk about it anyway. As we are faced with tribulations completely out of our control, sometimes it helps to put on some really loud music and let your emotions pour out. Our loud music recommendation of the week is the album "Killers Like Us" by the band BUÑUEL. "Hornets" is arguably the only song from the record that we can play on this show, but scope the whole thing on bandcamp if you want to hear some even gnarlier tunes. Also, find them on social media and stuff. Content Warning: references to the various tortures one might endure in hell (freezing in ice, burning, flaying, stuff with needles, affliction with boils), absurd degrees of sacrilege, climate disaster Corrections: Greg Kinear was not in the film "God's Not Dead", however he was in the motion picture "Heaven Is for Real". Both movies are stupid garbage. Also, according to Dante, it is Judas, Brutus, and Gaius Cassius Longinus who are in the 3 mouths of Lucifer. Pontius Pilate might be on a different level of Inferno, but that is just a theory.

The purpose of Psalm 48 is to deepen our hope in heaven for the sake of our witness to the next generation. The main idea here is that our faith in the future, our meditation on what's to come, our glad hope in God's promise about the end of time, will drive and shape what we tell our children about God. Psalm 48 is aiming at that, and what I'd like to do is to:show you this in the text and thenend with an application of what this means for us.And God willing we're gonna get there by looking at three questions [and we're going to stack them]:What is heaven?What does heaven do?How does our hope become a witness?Father in heaven, lead us, we pray, by the power of your Holy Spirit, to understand your word. Show us the glory of your Son. We ask this in his name, amen. 1. What is heaven?Now I'm using the word “heaven” here, but I want you to notice that the word “heaven” is not used in this psalm. So where am I getting it from? Look at verse 1: Great is the Yahweh and greatly to be praisedin the city of our God!His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation,is the joy of all the earth,Mount Zion, in the far north,the city of the great King. Again, the word “heaven” is not used here, but it's easy to see the topic of these first two verses. It's “the city of our God,” or in verse 2, it's “the city of the great King.” That's what the psalmist is describing here.And our first thought when we read about this city is that the psalmist must be talking about Jerusalem, and that's right … Jerusalem was the capital city of Israel. It was the place of God's temple and the king's palace. So it makes sense that Jerusalem is this city … however what's described here is not the old, historical Jerusalem, but this city in Psalm 48 is the New Jerusalem. This is the heavenly city. I want to be clear right away: Psalm 48 is about the future city that Jesus will bring here at the end of time when he returns to make all things new. Now when you hear that, hopefully you have a couple things in your head:The first is heaven (everybody think about heaven)The second is a city (everybody think about a city)Now we've got “heaven” and “city” both in our heads. And what needs to happen — especially as we are more and more shaped by the Bible — is that we need these two thoughts to come together. We should think of heaven as a city. Because that's what the Bible tells us it is.We know this from Revelation Chapter 21. When John describes his vision of heaven, in the future, he says, Revelation 21:1,Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away [that's all this], and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.”And this is how the Bible ends. The last two chapters of Revelation end by pointing us to this heavenly city. Because this heavenly city, the new Jerusalem, this is where everything is headed. This is what it's all been about. And Revelation 21–22 is not the first place we see this. The Psalms shows us this too, and especially this section of psalms around Psalm 48. Tracking with Psalms 42–48So for just a minute here, look at Psalm 48, and let's turn back a couple pages to remember how this section begins. Start in Psalm 42, and if you can I want you to take your Bibles and try to follow along with me.Starting with Psalm 42, this is first psalm in Book Two, a psalm of Korah, and it starts with a resolute hope. The psalmist describes a gap here between what the he wants in God and what he knows, and there's a sadness because of this (verse 2). This is where we first read the psalmist questioning his own soul, verse 5: “Why are you cast down, O my soul,and why are you in turmoil within me?” He questions his soul, and then he exhorts his soul with hope to hope. He says to his soul: “Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,my salvation and my God.” That's Psalm 42, verse 5, and he repeats that again in Psalm 43, verse 5, and then in Psalm 44 he takes us deeper into his struggle. There's more struggle here. Just in case we mistake the “hope in God” exhortation to be a kind of abracadabra, the psalmist actually hits his lowest point in Psalm 44 when he says to God, verse 9,You have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies; you have led us to slaughter (verse 11); you've made us a laughingstock (verse 14) — and I don't think we deserved it! (verse 17).This is his lowest low. And yet still, the psalmist here practices what he preaches in Psalms 42–43. He hopes in God by praying. He petitions God to act. He says at the end of 44, verse 26: Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!He prays for God to send salvation, and God answers that prayer by sending his King! That's Psalm 45. And God's King, the Messiah who saves, is Jesus. Jesus is our true hope and salvation, and we should trust him. If you don't trust him, I invite you to. Psalm 45 ends in verse 17 with Jesus receiving the praise of the nations forever. And speaking of the nations and the king, Psalm 46 comes next and says Let me tell you about a city! It's the city of God; it's where God dwells; and it's unmovable (Psalm 46, verse 5).From this city the raging nations will be put in their place (verse 6);from this city all wars will cease (verse 9);from this city, God, who dwells there, will be exalted in all the earth (verse 10)!And speaking of all the earth, Psalm 47 comes next and says I want to talk more about that!God is a great King over all the earth (verses 2 and 7).God sits on his throne in his city and he reigns over all the peoples! (verse 8)God is high and exalted above all things (verse 9) — and as Mike said last week, God will have worshipers from every people group throughout all the world, and they will gather (verse 9) as the people of God in the faith of Abraham, by trusting Abraham's offspring, the Messiah.That's what the end of Psalm 47 is saying, and that has not happened yet. Which means as we're reading these psalms, by the time we get to Psalm 48, we should feel a disconnect between what these psalms have been saying and our current reality. The city of Jerusalem, filled with God's presence in Psalm 46, is not Jerusalem as we know it today. Anybody know what's going on in Jerusalem right? It's not a river whose streams make the city glad. Wars and violence have not ceased (not there or anywhere — not yet). Which means these psalms are describing a day in the future.And we know that before we event get to Psalm 48. These psalms have set us up to think future, end-of-time promise of God. And then Psalm 48 just confirms this. Heaven Is a CityEverybody look at Psalm 48, verse 1. The image in Psalm 48, verse 1 is that God, who is great, receives great praise in his city. And his city is unlike any city there ever was! And as the psalmist puts this city before our eyes, he points us heavenward. Notice this: The psalmist first describes the city as “[God's] holy mountain” — where do we look to see mountains? Then the psalmist says the city is “beautiful in elevation” — where do we look to see something elevated? Then he calls the city “Mount Zion, in the far north” — where do we look to see the far north? Actually, this Hebrew word for “far north” is a synonym for “heaven.” In some places in the Bible, like Isaiah 14:13, this word for “far north” refers to God's throne. The idea is that it's up there. So right away when we come into Psalm 48 the psalmist wants us to think about this city and to think about heaven and put them together. The whole Bible and especially Revelation 21 leads us to think this way;this section of Psalms leads us to think this way;and even just the first two verses of Psalm 48 leads us to think this way.So we're gonna think this way!Church, what is heaven? Heaven is a city. Heaven is the future city of new Jerusalem.Now, what does heaven do?2. What does heaven do?The answer is that heaven — the future city of the new Jerusalem — manifests the triumph of the Messiah. Now in what way does the New Jerusalem manifest his triumph?There are three ways here in his psalm, and I want to show them to you. These are three ways the New Jerusalem shows us the triumph of Jesus.First, we see the triumph of Jesus in that all the kings of the earth who have set themselves against him will be conquered. Think back a minute to Psalm 2.It's been a few years since we were in Psalm 2, but Psalm 2 is an important psalm because it gives us the Messianic lens through which we're supposed to read the entire Book of Psalms. And remember Psalm 2 starts by telling us that “the nations rage.” Psalm 2, verse 1: Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?And that phrase on the nations' rage is the exact same phrase in Psalm 46, verse 6. There's a cosmic conflict going on, and it's because the kings of the earth have conspired together against Yahweh's anointed, his Messiah, who is also his Son, whom God has given kingly authority over all the ends of the earth. If the earthly kings are wise, Psalm 2 says, they will willingly bow before Jesus, but most are not wise, and so what will happen to them? Psalm 2 says they will perish. Hold that in your minds from Psalm 2.Look now at Psalm 48, verse 4, “For behold, the kings assembled” … and the psalmist is saying, Hey, pay attention here! Same kings from Psalm 2. They've come together again, just like they do in Psalm 2, and they're coming against the King's city, New Jerusalem.But look what happens. Verse 5: As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;they were in panic; they took to flight.Trembling took hold of them there,anguish as of a woman in labor. Now think with me here. If you're in a city and you look out and see multiple armies coming together to invade your city, how would you feel? Can you imagine that? You look out and you can see them. Armies coming against you. If I'm looking out and I see that, I'd be astounded. I'd be in panic and anguish. We would be, right? That makes sense. But look at this.The astonishment and panic and flight and trembling and anguish comes not from the city when they see the invading armies, but it comes from the invading armies when they see the city they meant to invade! Do you see who's afraid here in Psalm 48? It's not the city afraid of the invading army, it's the invading army afraid of the city.This is the great reverse that happens at the end of time. Evil is afraid of holiness! War is afraid of peace! Anguish is afraid of joy!So it IS where the Messiah triumphs! All things will be put right. His enemies will be conquered.Also, secondly here, we see the triumph of Jesus in that the New Jerusalem will be the presence of God stretching over the whole earth.Look at verse 7 for a minute: By the east wind you shattered the ships of Tarshish. In the Bible Tarshish is a famous enemy of Israel. It's right up there with Babylon as a city that was a real city, but also takes on a kind representation for all of God's enemies. And here in verse 7, the psalmist says that by the “east wind” God shattered their ships. And I don't think this is referring to an actual historical battle in the past, but I think this is about the future. That's the way medieval Jewish scholars understood the verse. They saw it as describing the future triumph of the Messiah, and an important phrase in how we understand this verse is “east wind.” That phrase is used about 40 times in the Old Testament, and most of the time it has to do with God's judgment and salvation. The most notable example is Exodus 14:21. Remember the people of Israel, are leaving Egypt, and they come to the Red Sea. They're being chased by the Egyptians, their enemies, and they're stuck at the sea. But what does God do? He parts the sea. You remember how he did it? Exodus 14:21, Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. By this east wind, the enemies of God's people were conquered, while God's people were saved. And the psalmist, by using the phrase “east wind” here, says, basically, verse 8: What God promises to do in the future is the kind of thing we've already seen him do. We know what he can do and what he will do …in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God, which God will establish forever!The Messiah will triumph, and his city will show his triumph, but to what end? What does his salvation mean? Verse 9 takes us there. Verse 9: We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,in the midst of your temple.As your name, O God,so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.Your right hand is filled with righteousness. Notice here that Psalm 48 has now transitioned from describing triumph over enemies to describing the experience of life with God. Because that's what salvation means. It means we get to be with God; we get to think about his steadfast love in his temple, the place where he dwells. God is in this city, and now his name reaches everywhere, which is to say his revelation. This is the knowledge of him. This is his ways put into action for everyone to see, and one day all the ends of the earth will see, and they'll praise him. Everywhere his name reaches, his praise multiplies.And that's the whole point. That is the great purpose for all of creation. It's that “the earth be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea” (see Numbers 14:21; Habakkuk 2:14). That's what Psalm 48 is. God's presence will become the whole earth; which will be this city, the New Jerusalem.The New Jerusalem is heaven because God is there. His glory will be close and clear, with nothing in the way. “I saw no temple in the city,” John says, “for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb” (Revelation 21:22).And God will dwell with us there, and we will be his people, and God himself will be with us as our God (Revelation 21:3).That's heaven! That's the city of the New Jerusalem. And when we think about this city we will say, like verse 14 says, “This is God.” God is here! The presence of God is the whole place! And this is the Messiah's triumph. That's why Jesus came … he came to bring us to God like that. And, now thirdly, we see the triumph of Jesus in the New Jerusalem because it will be all joy forevermore.Look at verse 2: This city is “the joy of all the earth.” Look at verse 11: “Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments!” Joy, you know, is what this has all been about. All of it. Yahweh, in his triune fellowship as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is dependent upon nothing but all things are dependent upon him, and before he made anything, he just was, and he has always been, and he has always been happy in himself. Fullness of joy. Pleasures forevermore. That is the life of God from everlasting to everlasting, and his ‘move' to create the world was a move to share his joy. As we've seen in Psalm 16, joy is deeper than the universe … because there has never been a time when joy was not, because there has never been a time when God was not. All things then that exist, exist from God's joy and ultimately they are for God's joy. That's all where this is all headed. The New Jerusalem will be all glory — because we will see God everywhere — and it will be all joy because because God loves to show what we see, and we love to see it, and he loves that we love to see it, and we love that he loves that we love to see it, ad infinitum.That is the New Jerusalem, and that is because of Jesus. That is his great triumph. It's what the city shows us.And so that's the first two questions: What is heaven? What does heaven do?Heaven is the city where God is, and it manifests the triumph of the Messiah. And now that leads us to the third question.3. How does our hope become a witness?This question is about application, but first let me show you how I get here.Look at verse 12 and notice there are five verbs here: walk about Ziongo around herNumber her towersconsider well her rampartsgo through her citadelsWith each of these verbs, the psalmist is telling us, basically, to examine the city. He's been telling us about this city the whole psalm, and now he says to inspect it. Be well-acquainted with it. Basically, meditate on it. This is our city. Keep it always in view. We're supposed to keep always in front of us.And we do it for a purpose, which is in verses 13–14 … All those five verbs together mean basically that we hope in this city, “[so] that you may tell the next generation that this is God, our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.” [Do you see that in verse 14?]The psalmist is telling us to deepen our hope in the New Jerusalem — deepen our hope in heaven — for the sake of our witness to the next generation. He is saying to gladly hope in the future that God has promised so that we can tell our children who God is. And the idea here of our children — the “next generation” in verse 14 — goes for everyone. This is not just for literal parents, but it's for all of us. We all in the church have a responsibility to those who come after us, to contend and adorn and hand down “the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). And according to Psalm 48, our hope in heaven is instrumental here. Our hope in heaven says something about God to the next generation.That's the crescendoing main idea of this psalm, and it leads us to the next question of: HOW exactly do we do this? In what way does our hope in the New Jerusalem become a witness to the next generation about who God is?This is the practical question that we're left to ponder. Psalm 48 just tells us that our hope is a witness, but now we've got to think about how our hope is a witness.Well, I think it's this: our hope in the New Jerusalem is a witness to our children about who God is because such a future hope radically shapes the way we live now in this present world. And that radical shaping shows up at least two ways. The first has to do with how we respond to things that break.#1. How we respond to things that break. And I have to say this, because as I was meditating on this question Friday morning, I was back and forth on the phone with three different plumbers trying to get someone to come to my house, because around midnight on Thursday I discovered there was about three inches of water sitting in our basement laundry room. Because something broke. That's not how it's supposed to be. And when I saw the water late Thursday night (well, it's was not good) but eventually I remembered Jesus's words: “In this world you will have tribulation.” Do you remember what else he said? He said, “But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). And we might add from Psalm 48, that he will overcome the world with a new world that he's bringing here, a new city! And here's the thing: my hope in that city is going to show up in how I handle this problem … and my kids are watching. The next generation is watching.This is one way our hope is a witness. It's has to do with how we respond to hardship.But another way is less reactive, and more proactive. It has to do with what we're trying to build here.Our hope in the New Jerusalem radically shapes the way we live in this present world in that:#2. We try to build something here that foreshadows our future city. Another way to put this is that we pray the way Jesus teaches us to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9–10).And we don't just pray that, but we actually try to do things here “as it is in heaven.”We want to orient to the created world like everything that is ugly in this city will be made beautiful when that city comes, and everything here that is beautiful will only be more beautiful.We want to invest our resources and energy into making our church the kind of community that is bound together by an other-worldly love, and that seeks the peace and prosperity of this metro, and that stands here as a shining light of the supremacy of Jesus over all things.We want to build something here — as a community, and as a culture, and as a physical place — that is a witness to our hope in what's to come. We want to build something here that is clear about who Jesus is, and that says, “He is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.” And then the next generation will see this hope in us and they will share in that same hope themselves, and then they will witness to the next generation and on and on until New Jerusalem is here. And that's what brings us to this Table. The TableAt this Table, as we remember the death of Jesus for us, we are proclaiming the Lord's death until he comes. Because we believe he is indeed coming. Jesus coming to bring the city of the New Jerusalem. He will bring heaven here. He will make all things new.And if that is your hope this morning, if you trust in Jesus, we invite you to eat and drink with us.

Truth be told, most Christians, even many pastors, don't really have a firm understanding of what heaven is. Where is the final destiny of the believer? What will we be there and what will we do there? In this episode of the Reintegrate Podcast, we invite an expert to share his insights. Dr. Michael Wittmer is Professor of Systematic & Historical Theology and the Director of the Center for Christian Worldview at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary at Cornerstone University. He is the author of lots of articles and several books, including books that deal with the topic on this episode of the podcast: Anticipating Heaven (Our Daily Bread Publishing, 2019). Heaven Is a Place on Earth: Why Everything You Do Matters to God (Zondervan, 2009), and he just served as the editor of Four Views on Heaven (in the Counterpoints series, Zondervan, 2022), in which four Christian scholars provide their differing interpretations about what happens after we die and then offer responses and rejoinders to each other.

In the last episode, I'd had a dream where my father appeared to me, told me he never really died and had me give him back his ring, then a few hours later, after my first period gym class, the ring had mysteriously disappeared from my locker. The event was totally mystifying because there was absolutely no logical way that it could have happened the way it had. My grandfather, who was a religious mystic, was the only person I told who actually believed me. And he told me he felt that there might be some more unusual events coming my way that related to my experiences around my father's death and the disappearance of his ring. A while later, by complete coincidence, I ran into my old high school friend Marty in a grocery store. The morning after I dreamt that my father died, I had told him about it on our ride to school. I hadn't seen him in almost ten years, and it just so happened that the day we met was Dec. 3, the anniversary of my father's death. After catching up with each other for about a half hour, I finally decided to ask him about the dream. “Marty, I hope you don't mind if I ask you kind of a weird question,” I started. “You don't have to ask,” he interrupted me. “You dreamt that your father died the night before it happened, and you told me about it the next day when we were driving to school. You dreamt that he died, then it all came true. And I'll never forget it.” After about a week or so, when I saw my grandfather and told him about it, he just smiled and said, “See? You just got a confirmation and you don't have to doubt it anymore. It really did happen.” About six months later, one Saturday night, I was at a party and out of nowhere, an old friend came over to me and said he had to tell me about an odd dream he had just had. In the dream, a stranger introduced himself and said, “I am David Richman's father, and I want you to give him a message for me.” Then he showed my friend that he was wearing a ring. Suddenly, the ring started glowing with light and the man said, “Tell David I said - remember the ring.” Then he repeated himself. “Give David Richman this message. Tell him I said to remember the ring.” My friend looked a me with a sort of confused expression and said, “Well, that was the dream. I don't know if it means anything to you, but the guy was really powerful.” Of course, I was completely blown away by the unexpected turn of events. And the next time I saw my grandfather, when I told him about what happed, he was transfixed. The fact that the dream had come to a complete stranger, an unbiased third party with no prior knowledge about any of it, was stunning. And this wasn't an old high school friend either. I had met him much later in life and he didn't know anything about father at all. “And don't forget about the message,” Zayde said to me. “What did Dad want your friend to tell you?” “He said I should remember the ring,” I said. “And what happened to the ring?” he asked. “I don't know,” I responded. “In the dream, my father told me to give the ring back to him. We stood there and when he touched it, it turned into light. Then the next morning, after my gym class just a few hours later, it disappeared out of my locked locker.” “And what does that tell you?” he asked. I thought about it for a minute, but nothing really came to mind. “I don't know.” “Either do I,” he said with a bemused smile. “And that's why it's such a great message. It gives you a lot to think about. The ring turned into light in the dream, then it disappeared the next day in real life. Maybe that means there a connection between the two realms. “And he told you a lot of things in that dream. He said there's no death. He said God wants you to think about him. Maybe he's telling you to remember the things he told you. Maybe give it more thought. “Or maybe he told you to remember the ring because when you both held it, it connected you. You said it was like the bridge between you. Maybe he's telling you that the bridge is still there, that you're still connected, even beyond death. “And you know what else? The ring turned into light and you felt yourself get pulled into it. What was that like?” he asked me. “It was incredible,” I said. “I got filled with happiness and joy.” “Exactly,” he went on. “Maybe, it even took you to Shamayim (heaven)? And maybe he's telling you to remember what that feeling was like, what that happiness and peace felt like? Maybe he's telling you that even though you were in a dream, the feeling you felt is actually real? “It's just like a lot of other things in life. Maybe none of it was real. Maybe some of it was real. Or maybe all of it was real. Who knows? I do know one thing, though - you have the rest of your life to figure it out.” His eyes were twinkling, and he gave me one of his warm, impish smiles. He did this kind of thing all the time. Instead of teaching, he'd use the word “maybe” in the tradition of the great Talmudic teachers he'd studied for years. They don't tell you things. They just plant seeds and help you let them grow. *** My grandfather and I had always been close and of course, we got closer after my father died. But one day in 1972, unexpectedly it went to a deeper level. We were watching a NASA moonwalk on TV and he said it was a fake, and that they were really doing it in a TV studio. When I asked him why he felt that way, he told me about a prayer they used to say monthly in the old country on the full moon. Apparently, this ancient prayer got dropped and never made it over here. Then he recited it - “The moon is so far away from the Earth. And in the same way, God's perfection is far away from man. But one day man will touch the moon, and when he does, know that the days of the kingdom of heaven on Earth have begun.” I had never heard that prayer before and even though it intrigued me, I didn't say anything. I had actually been keeping something from him and didn't want to discuss anything to do with God or religion. During my recent college years, I had gotten a strong dose of the new hippie lifestyle, along with some of its some mind-altering components. As comedian Robin Williams once said, “If you can remember the Sixties, you weren't really there.” Well I really was, and it really changed me. And recently, I had started practicing a form of meditation which was having a profound effect on me as well. I was simply outgrowing a lot of childhood concepts. Actually, this kind of thing is pretty common in Judaism, and the hippy/spiritual movement of the Sixties had more than its fair share of Jewish kids. It makes sense, because the religion basically teaches you to think for yourself and not just accept things at face value. There's no hierarchy, no pope, or doctrine of infallibility. On the contrary, the spiritual leaders, the rabbis, are all just ordinary people, with plenty of ordinary faults. Your point of view is as valid as the next guy's. In a way, it can be an un-religious religion, and it's been shaped into a million different forms. There are tons of non-observant Jews who don't practice the rituals, but still respect the religion and love the culture, the food, the comedians, and the jokes. And in their hearts and minds, they are still very Jewish. Regardless, I didn't want to talk to my grandfather about any of it. He was an old man and had been through enough tsuris in his life. (Yiddish for trouble). He didn't need any more. I was certain that my expanding point of view would only upset him, so I stayed away from it. “So, you see,” he said, pointing to the lunar surface on the TV screen, “This isn't real. It can't be. If they were really on the moon, the Kingdom of Heaven would be on its way.” “Actually, Zayde,” I heard myself say, “it is real.” “What?” he asked, like he hadn't heard me right. “Yes. It is real. All the prophecies are coming true and the whole planet is moving into a higher state. The Kingdom of Heaven IS at hand.” I couldn't believe those words had come out of my mouth. I hadn't planned on saying anything to him, but my tongue had been faster than my mind. But the truth is though, that's the way I really felt. I had spent four turbulent years in college in Washington DC, front and center at the demolition of the American status-quo. It felt like my generation had been on the vanguard of a revolution that had transformed the world. For baby boomers, since Woodstock, the old order of “might-makes-right” was crumbling, and a new awareness was arising. The stirring message was everywhere - in the music and the movies, on TV and the stage. It really did seem like the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, as they sang in the musical “Hair.” Millions of us believed it, and the high times were global. Still, I hadn't meant to say anything to him. He came from another era, a distant time and place. He had been a Yeshiva student, and as a part-time cantor, was a full-time, orthodox Jew. “What?” he shot back at me sharply, “What did you say?” I thought he sounded angry and I scrambled around in my mind to find a way out. But as I looked at him, I realized he wasn't angry; he was hungry. And alive with curiosity. From that moment on, and for the rest of his life, all we ever talked about was higher consciousness. He was like a sponge and wanted to know everything I knew. And the more I learned, the more he wanted to know. He had no conflict at all with what I was doing, which completely amazed me. He just wanted to gather as much knowledge about God and the higher realms that he could. He didn't care where it came from. I once asked him about it and he said, “Your religion's like a car. You drive it to get somewhere, and when you get there, you get out. It's the same thing with religion. It's supposed to get you to God. And when you do get to God, you leave everything else behind and go straight to him. Never forget that, Davy. Go straight to him.” Well, that's the end of this episode. There's one more episode left in this series, It's Just a Gimmick, so as always, keep your eyes, mind, and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.

When Thomas More wrote Utopia in the 16th century, he ensured that all those who would seek out a perfect society, inspired by his book, would have to answer for the literal Greek meaning of its title: “no place.” So, has there ever been a utopia? It depends on whom you ask. Adrian Shirk, who joined Smarty Pants several years ago to talk about her previous book, takes utopia to mean communities that “have intentionally understood themselves as world-building a way out of a death-dealing system, in the service of making, if only briefly, some idea of heaven on earth—not just for themselves, but however foolhardy, for all of humankind.” From that definition—and from the bop by Belinda Carlisle, of course—comes the title of her new book, Heaven Is a Place on Earth, an exploration of moments and movements in American utopianism then, today, and tomorrow, from the Shakers to the rebuilding of the Bronx to a Waffle House by the side of the road.Go beyond the episode:Adrian Shirk's Heaven Is a Place on Earth: Searching for an American UtopiaRead essays that became part of the book: “A Brief History of American Utopian Communities,” “Odd Fellows at the Rockland Palace,” and “A Visit to Charlotte Street.”Also mentioned: Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda MontellEven The New York Times is profiling the “new generation” of intentional communitiesYou can, of course, still visit the classicsTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.
