Eternal Marriage Mindset: Living Today for the Streets of Gold We get so caught up in the now—our needs, our feelings, our expectations—that we forget: this isn't forever. And when it comes to your marriage, your mindset matters more than you know. What if the goal isn't just earthly happiness… but eternal impact? Let's shift our gaze from the temporary to the eternal—from trying to fix our spouse to faithfully loving them like Jesus. Because your marriage assignment? It impacts eternity. A Marriage Mindset That Reaches for Heaven If marriage is your god, you'll do it your way. You'll chase validation, push for change, demand your rights, and stew in resentment when your spouse doesn't meet your expectations. But if God is your God, and marriage is your assignment, you'll do it His way. You'll put your spouse before your ministry, before your work, before the kids. You'll think about loving them the way they receive love. You care about peace, patience, kindness, and self-control in your marriage. You value reconciliation and you stop praying, "God, fix my spouse so I feel better," and start praying, "God, draw them closer to You." It's a radical shift in your marriage mindset. And it changes everything. Eternal Marriage Mindset: Your Assignment Is Bigger Than You Think Think about this: your spouse isn't just your husband or wife. They're your brother or sister in Christ. One day, they will stand before Jesus just like you will. What if your daily choices helped them be more ready for that moment? That's the eternal marriage mindset. It's not about temporary comfort—it's about eternal glory. You're not just trying to survive your marriage. You're trying to love your spouse all the way to the streets of gold! And, by God's grace, you'll be dancing there together one day. You only get one marriage with this person. One chance to love them well. One life to serve them, selflessly. And if that service brings them closer to Jesus? It's worth every ounce of sacrifice. Streets of Gold and a Big Ol' Mansion Next Door But all joking aside, imagining heaven should stir our hearts. Because eternity is real. And that means what you do in this short vapor of a life matters. If you need help fixing your gaze upward, here's a powerful recommendation: Wild Near-Death Experiences: Proof of Heaven | John Burke | Ep:365 from the Blurry Creatures podcast. John is a former pastor, engineer, and researcher who has explored over 1,000 verified near-death experiences—and the common themes are stunning. Even from those with no faith background, many report seeing a being of love, a city of light, a life review… all pointing to the reality of heaven. His ministry, Imagine Heaven, invites us to live today in light of eternity. And wow—is it motivating. When we meditate on the realness of what's ahead, our marriage takes on deeper purpose. It becomes a divine assignment with eternal weight. It's Not About Them, It's About You: Taking Ownership in Your Marriage Here's the hard truth: You will stand before God alone. You won't be able to say, "But my husband didn't…" or "But my wife never…" This journey isn't about controlling your spouse—it's about surrendering your own heart. If your marriage is struggling, start by asking: Am I doing this God's way? Am I praying for their character, not just my comfort? Am I serving them with an eternal mindset—or demanding love on my terms? The shift starts in you. Final Thoughts: Marriage Is Temporary. Your Influence Isn't. Heaven is coming. And when you get there—your mansion sparkling, the streets of gold beneath your feet—will your spouse be dancing beside you? Will your love have drawn them closer to Jesus? Will your sacrifices have sown eternal seeds? Friend, your influence matters. Every word, every action, every reaction has a chance to draw them closer to Jesus. So soften your heart. Adjust your mindset. And do marriage well—not for earthly gain, but for eternal glory. We are rooting for you!   Blessings, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - Want help living this out?

PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "The biggest area I have grown is in my relationship with the Lord.  I have a deeper walk and appreciate struggles as they point me to Jesus.  Our marriage has grown as well.  We are deeper in love and we are heading to our finish lines of life, united as a couple."

Will there literally be streets of gold in heaven (Revelation 21:21)? What would be the purpose of the streets in heaven being made of gold?

Will heaven have "pearly gates and streets of gold"? Sorry to disappoint you, but, no. It's a major biblical misinterpretation!

In America? There is no poverty, no suffering. What do they drive on? Well... Streets of Gold! For Wesley Snipes, his second movie is a boxing drama. Is he the lead? No. Is it Adrain Pasdar's movie? No. It's all about the Russian coach who fled due to everybody being awful about his Judaism. Now he drinks buckets of Vodka and taunts young boxers but then trains them. Also, he's not Russian in real life. Is this good? Maybe. Is there some surprise racism when it shouldn't really be a surprise cause it's the 80s? For sure. Can people overcome their differences to beat up the dirty Russians? Come on, what do you think??? Tune into more of the Wesley ship as it sails down the canal of cool.

Human history begins in a paradise with a tree of life and ends in much greater paradise with the tree of life. Although the heavenly Jerusalem is described in terms of gems and splendor in chapter 21 we see the city is teeming with life chapter 22.---In the first paradise there were only two persons to behold the beauty and taste the pleasures of it, but in this second paradise whole cities and nations shall find abundant delight and satisfaction.--Matthew Henry--The water of life and the tree of life emphasize the great truth that -in Him was life- and the life was the light of men- -John 1-4-. The grace that God bestows upon the believer today is just a foretaste to come.

Sunday, December 4, 2022 - We are finishing up our study on the 21st chapter of Revelation. If you decide to watch this, prepare your mind to blow up! What John the Revelator is describing as he is being shown the New Jerusalem being lowered from Heaven to settle on the New Earth is beyond anything mankind could ever build or even imagine. This kind of imagery just can't be made up! Both the immense size and the brilliance of the city, as we are going to describe, are absolutely beyond anything we can imagine. So get ready to see God put on a display of His glory that reveals how much He loves us, His cherished creation. At the end of the message, we take some calculated liberty to try to figure out what happens to all those that are yet in the human flesh that have lived through the 1000-year millennial reign and have chosen to follow Christ versus those that choose to follow Satan in his last attempt to overthrow God. They are destroyed by fire from Heaven only to have their lot with all the other evil dead in the Great White Throne Judgment. But what happens to the righteous that are surviving? As I said, we are using our God-given imagination to describe a possible answer, and it's a glorious one if this is what happens.

The first part of our new sermon series, "Streets of Gold."

For centuries, America has lured millions of immigrants here with dreams of rising from rags to riches in a short amount of time. But the authors of “Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success,” say that story is mostly a myth. The authors, Stanford professor Ran Abramitzky and Princeton professor Leah Boustan bust other popular opinions about immigration, such as the idea that immigrants “take all the jobs,” “refuse to assimilate,” and pose all kinds of threats to the “American way of life.” Abramitzky and Boustan spent years combing through data that painted different narratives than most Americans are used to hearing. They will join us to bust myths about immigrants and share what the research really says about immigration, past and present. Guests: Leah Boustan, professor of economics and director of the Industrial Relations Section, Princeton University Ran Abramitzky, professor of economics and Senior Associate Dean for the Social Sciences, Stanford University

Will heaven have "pearly gates and streets of gold"? Sorry to disappoint you, but, no. It's a major biblical misinterpretation!

The myths and misperceptions about immigrants in the US are far and wide. Some people believe they're dangerous, take American jobs, or that they're different from previous waves of immigrants. But what's the real story of America's immigrants...from Ellis Island to today? Dr. Ran Abramitzsky from Stanford University is the co-author of the new book, "Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success", which shows how immigrants from different areas of the world and across generations have remarkably similar stories. Dr. Abramitzsky joins Inside Sources to talk about why and explain how the children of immigrants quickly climb the ladder of success in America. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Professor of Economics and the Senior Associate Dean of the Social Sciences at Stanford University, Dr. Ran Abramitzky, is a co-author with Leah P. Boustan for the book "Streets of Gold: Immigration and the American Dream Over Two Centuries." Original air date 12 July 2022. The book was published on 31 May 2022.

In Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success (PublicAffairs, 2022), Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan reveal the true story of immigration and the American economy, debunking myths perpetuated by the media and inflamed by political rhetoric. Through this authoritative account of the historical record and important new findings, Abramitzky and Boustan will help shape our thinking and policies about the fraught topic of immigration with findings such as:  ·Where you come from doesn't matter. The children of immigrants from El Salvador, Mexico, and Guatemala today are as likely to be as successful as the children of immigrants from Great Britain and Norway 150 years ago.  ·Children of immigrants do better economically than children of those born in the U.S. – a pattern that has held for more than a century. ·The children of immigrants from nearly every country, especially children of poor immigrants, are more upwardly mobile than the children of US-born residents.  ·Immigrants today, especially those from groups accused of lack of assimilation (such as Mexicans and those from Muslim countries) actually assimilate fastest.  ·Immigration changes the economy in unexpected positive ways and staves off the economic decline that is the consequence of an aging population.  ·Closing the door to immigrants harms the economic prospects of the U.S. born, the people politicians are trying to protect. More, not less, immigration will spur the American economy.  ·Severe restrictions on immigration reduce innovation by blocking entry to future scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs.  Using powerful story-telling and unprecedented research employing big data and algorithms, Abramitzky and Boustan are like dedicated family genealogists but millions of times over. They provide a new take on American history with surprising results, especially how comparable the "golden era" of immigration is to today, and why many current policy proposals are so misguided. Javier Mejia is an economist teaching at Stanford University, whose work focuses on the intersection between social networks and economic history. His interests extend to topics on entrepreneurship and political economy with a geographical specialty in Latin America and the Middle East. He received a Ph.D. in Economics from Los Andes University. He has been a Postdoctoral Associate and Lecturer at New York University--Abu Dhabi and a Visiting Scholar at the University of Bordeaux. He is a regular contributor to different news outlets. Currently, he is Forbes Magazine op-ed columnist. Learn more about your ad choices.

According to Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan, immigration is one of the most fraught, and possibly most misunderstood topics in American social discourse—yet, in most cases, the things we believe about immigration are based largely on myth, not facts. Join us when Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan examine their book Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success using powerful story-telling and unprecedented research employ big data and algorithms, provide a new take on American history with surprising results, especially how comparable the “golden era” of immigration is to today, and why many current policy proposals are so misguided on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.

How do immigrants to America today compare to immigrants in the past? Are immigrants really able to come over and quickly find success? Are immigrants today assimilating at a different rate than previous generations?  Economists Leah Boustan and Ran Abramitzky join the show to discuss all this and more in their new book, Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success. We discuss how today's immigrants compare with the past, how the second generation differs from the first, and what the modern political discussion around immigration really needs.

Immigration is one of the most fraught, and possibly most misunderstood, topics in American social discourse—yet, in most cases, the things we believe about immigration are based largely on myth, not facts. Using the tools of modern data analysis and ten years of pioneering research, Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success (Public Affairs, 2022) provides new evidence about the past and present of the American Dream, debunking myths fostered by political opportunism and sentimentalized in family histories. They make a powerful case for four key facts: Children of immigrants from nearly every country, especially those of poor immigrants, do better economically than children of U.S.-born residents. Immigrants accused of lack of assimilation (such as Mexicans today and the Irish in the past) actually assimilate fastest. Immigration changes the economy in unexpected positive ways and staves off the economic decline that is the consequence of an aging population. Closing the door to immigrants harms the economic prospects of the U.S.-born—the people politicians are trying to protect. Using powerful story-telling and unprecedented research employing big data and algorithms, interviewee Leah Boustan and her co-author Ran Abramitzky are like dedicated family genealogists but millions of times over. They provide a new take on American history with surprising results, especially how comparable the “golden era” of immigration is to today, and why many current policy proposals are so misguided.

Will heaven have "pearly gates and streets of gold"? Sorry to disappoint you, but, no. It's a major biblical misinterpretation!

Cale looks at an often misunderstood passage from the Book of Revelation. He also looks at the martyrdom of St. Polycarp, who was a disciple of John the Apostle.

Jesse Golden is a renowned yoga instructor, author, entrepreneur, and wellness expert. You could say she's living the dream. But this dream wasn't handed to her. In fact, she fought every step of the way to make it happen. The golden girl paved her own streets of gold. Here's her story Jesse grew up in Chicago. Her mom ran a dance studio, so naturally, Jesse grew up training as a ballerina. Her childhood was very regimented, and was a bit rough. One day, while on a trip to Florida as a 17 year old, Jesse decided she was staying. She wasn't going home. Florida allowed her the freedom and independence she craved. Jesse had a tough start in Florida. She lived out of her car and cleaned houses for a living. But she didn't care. She was happy. Eventually, her aunt dragged her to a modeling call. Jesse signed as a model in South Beach. After living in Miami for a while, Jesse moved to L.A., after a brief pit stop in Vegas. She was living the life. At 25, she found out she was pregnant. She proceeded to deliver and raise the child, all on her own. At 29, she figured to extend her modeling career, she would earn her yoga teaching certification, to give her a leg up with new brands like Lululemon. That's when her world came crashing down. Here body shut down. Jesse was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The outlook for those with RA isn't good - After ten years, 60% of people with RA are considered completely disabled. Jesse didn't walk for a year. And every other movement she made was slowly, and with pain. But instead of being the victim, she became the victor. Her illness gave her a platform to share her story. Today, she is known for being able to accomplish incredible feats of strength and flexibility. And her mind is just as strong - she's determined to find the positive in every negative situation. Today, Jesse is a well-known yoga teacher, author, wellness expert, and influencer. But she's got one more credit to her name - entrepreneur. Even after everything she'd been through, Jesse wasn't done. She launched her own organic skin care line, another of her many successes. Throughout her journey, Jesse learned a lot. Here's a snapshot of the top lessons she learned, lessons that have impacted her life for the better.

So many people — maybe you are one — NEVER want to think about Heaven, probably because they’ve been taught the wrong answers to “WHAT” Heaven will be like. David Lloyd George former Prime Minister of the UK once said "When I was a boy, the thought of Heaven used to frighten me more than the thought of Hell. I pictured Heaven as a place where time would be perpetual Sundays, with the perpetual services from which there would be no escape.” I want to free you from this intensely FALSE picture of Heaven, so that you might reopen your hearts and minds to the greatest promise Jesus made to us all, that is going to prepare a place for us and will bring us to be with him one day.

Will there literally be streets of gold in heaven? What would be the purpose of the streets in heaven being made of gold?
