The Battle of the Creek is tonight. Houston takes on their county rival. I have been told I am the team preacher, as long as we win. Hope my words are an encouragement to them to get a big win.
A lot of people say a lot of things about heaven. They say we become angels or flowers in his garden or guardians to those of us still here. None of it is true. Angels have not been redeemed and we have. Our role is quite different. We are not the same and won't be in eternity. The guardian idea goes back to the protection that angels can give. Now Hebrews 12 says we have a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on to persevere, fix our eyes on Jesus, and continue to perfect our faith. Those that have went on are cheering us on. We also get a good picture of what they are doing in Revelation 7:15-17 today: Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Sounds to me like there is a lot of worshiping the Lord and serving the Lord going on. That is the same thing that He charges us to do here. Do you think that is part of perfecting your faith? I do. Let's get busy at it....today!
