My belief is that God has created each of us for a holy destiny. Through biblical teaching and writing I hope to lead souls to find God, learn to apply His Word to their lives, and find opportunities to join in the work of His Body, the Church.

Eternal Roles 4

Chris

There is just one more role that we should examine.  If you have questions from the previous post, this might actually help answer some of those for you.  The basis of our ability to rule/judge in eternity is because of this last role.

If you thought that these were acts reserved for God alone, we have to take one thing into consideration.  For we know that Christ is King and Judge, and He receives those roles Himself because He is the Son of God.  But we, too, are sons, adopted as if we were born of the Father Himself.  Therefore we are joint-heirs with Christ.

Eternal Roles 3

Chris

We’ve mentioned that we will worship in eternity, because the pictures of the Throne Room in Heaven that are found in Revelation all contain an element of worship, whether by Creation or by what is believed to signify the saints of God.  We also read about the Warrior, who must take up his elements of warfare, be trained and skilled in them, so that when the times for battle arise, we can fight alongside our King who is counting on us to wage war with Him against our enemy.  The third role I’d like to discuss is that of the Ruler/Judge.

Eternal Roles 1

Chris

I’ve been away from writing for a while, so let’s jump into the Eternity series.  Our last post on this topic was aimed at explaining that we are being prepared now for the tasks that will be given to us at the end of time and in eternity.  I quoted from a book called, Destined for the Throne, and if you haven’t read this book, I would suggest you do.  If nothing else, it will get you thinking about concepts that you cannot turn a blind eye to; you must take the time to study, discuss and consider what is delivered in this book.

The Book of Revelation gives a pretty startling picture of Heaven, the troubles that await the end of time here in Creation, and a glimpse into eternity.  With just a quick glance through the pages of Revelation, I’ve found four roles that we can consider ourselves being prepared for in our currently daily lives that we will only later fulfill.  Let’s take a look at them.

“Worship Theory” now available

Chris

I finally received the final proof of my book, Worship Theory.  After this morning, the book is available for purchase through the Touch the Skye Storefront at Lulu.com.

Worship Theory does not take a position regarding the contemporary-traditional-blended debate.  Instead, these theories were developed to encourage deeper consideration, further study, and a more personal application to worship.  It makes what the Bible says about worship – how it relates to the individual, his/her attiudes and life, God, and the church – the focus for that study.

The “Theory of Philosophy” chapter will remain available on this site as a free preview download.

An Eternal Destiny

Chris

Having taken some time to get the idea across that our everyday actions have the potential for eternal consequence, and having given some time for it all to sink in, let’s move on to the second section of Living in Light of Eternity: our present lives are a training ground for our eternal lives.

I have to admit that for a long time I never would have considered this point.  It was first present to me in a book study in my first church.  The pastor rallied us together for a seemingly simple discussion regarding a book that I hadn’t heard of before, but has shaped for me a very different understanding of life in the now.
