… And someday God will raise them up. Who would have ever dared to ask God for a resurrection dead and in the renovation, who would have dared ask God for a new heaven and a new earth? Dear brethren, above all that we ask or think, God is able. And to him be honor in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations forever and ever and ever. Amen. The God who is able to raise the dead, who is able to speak a new heaven and a new earth into being, that's the God who stands ready to work in your life. But most maturing Christians have never learned how to lay hold of that power. That's exactly why I wrote Divine Invasions. In my book, I take these truths off the page and put them into your hands. When you give to support Pathway to Victory, you help set discouraged believers free to expect great things from a great God again. Would you stand with me? Thanks so much for getting in touch today.

Why should we be confident, Louis? Everything's falling apart all around us. …
… like passing, and family is incredible and hopefully forever. But we all be together. We believe in a new heaven and a new earth. And I guess this isn't a time to talk about the afterlife and what we believe about that. But we find great comfort in what the book of Revelation reveals as a new heaven and a new earth. And that we will be reunited and we will be together. And I have comforted someone this week along those lines, for sure. Yeah, I think of that verse in Corinthians that says, is it Corinthians? That says, as followers of Jesus who believe in a heaven. Yeah. That we grieve the loss of people. but it's not exactly the same. We don't grieve the same. It says we don't grieve the same because we do have a hope of heaven. That's right. And it's, when my grandpa died, I remember heaven never really seemed that appealing to me, which is probably embarrassing to admit, but it's like all those- Yeah, you get your life in front of you. …
