EXCELLENT Post! Great Blog.
I've been without Internet service for over two weeks and am just now getting around to visiting the Cafe's "Top 100 Blogs." Congratulations! I am honored to also be listed among some excellent Christian writers. Your site proves that true New Testament Christianity is still out there! AMEN! Let's keep GOD the center of our work - It's HIS Word we proclaim.
Again, Congratulations!

Thanks for the link to CARM, it looks like a great resource. What would I ask God? Probably nothing, I suppose I would instantly understand all my questions the instant I am face to face with Him.

I have been reading the book Heaven by Randy Acorn and one thing he suggests scripture says is that when Christ comes back to reign not only will we see heaven but that Earth will be restored to its original beauty; without sin. if that is so I would like to know will we still have coffee. I know not profound, but I love waking up in the morning to a cup of coffee and reading the Word of God. Wouldn't be awesome to share a cup with our Savior.

Angela: I hope you're feeling better now. :~D

Jennifer: Lol, good answer: I suppose I would instantly understand all my questions the instant I am face to face with Him.

Amydeanne: How did you do on the quiz?

L2L: I'd love to read that book. I believe this is true: not only will we see heaven but that Earth will be restored to its original beauty; without sin. Won't that be something? And YES, I'd love to share a cup of coffee with our Savior!!!

Living Beyond: Helloooo, my friend. How are you??? Based on the urgency of your question for Jesus, I'm a little worried. Is life good? :~D Thank for commenting. Miss you!

Faith said...

This was great. And wow...what a question. I would probably ask God why He allows little children to suffer at the hands of their biological parents. i.e. child abuse

e-Mom said...

Faith: Yes, that's a hard one, isn't it? :~D
