Finding Truth Matters

What is Heaven like?
I honestly used to think that Christianity was all about having the assurance of going to Heaven after dying. But as I learned more about the gospel and the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth I became curious about the relative scarcity of references to heaven in the Bible. Yet, while my understanding of the place or role of heaven in my gospel proclamation has been refined, some popular tele-evangelists have headed in the other direction and made heaven central to their gospel messaging. Some of these evangelists have even claimed to have the spiritual power to make repeated visits to heaven!

Presumably God, the Supreme Being, has a supremely beautiful home, in a supremely magnificent neighbourhood. Amazingly, God invites mankind to move into His neighbourhood – for eternity! But what is heaven like? Is it possible, as some are now claiming, that we can visit heaven? While I am going to lead readers to conclude that heaven is not the Gospel’s focus, if it is the only reason someone is motivated to convert to Christ, then we should rejoice-

“Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Luke 10:20

Is tithing for today?

The vast majority of Evangelical churches encourage the practise of “tithing” and claim to do so because the New Testament teaches it. But does it? What are the believer’s obligations when it comes to endorsing or challenging tithing? What are the local church’s obligations when it comes to teaching, receiving, or addressing tithing for today? How we answer these questions has a huge impact on how believers and churches function as stewards of both finance and God’s Word!

There seems to be a growing challenge to the teaching of “the New Testament tithe”. There are entire internet sites dedicated to the issue. There are chatrooms where believers can discuss it. There are new books being written about it. In our local regional newspaper someone obviously feels so strongly about it that they have taken out provocative advertisements in the Church Notices section condemning any church that endorses tithing as being “a part of the Harlot church of Babylon”. This has become a heated issue…
