Theology Camp: Heaven

This coming week is our Theology Camp, and the theme is Heaven.  And when I say theme, I mean the whole drive, the whole approach, the whole study, the whole discussion time, the whole intensity will be on the afterlife of the Christian.

We're not going into the false views nor are we going into a study on Hell. We are talking about where Christians will be a thousand, a million, a trillion years from now.  I believe that my generation has been shortchanged in learning about Heaven and the coming New Earth.  Just as Satan wants, the average Christian doesn't say much about what heaven is like because he has been taught almost nothing about it.  Revelation 13 states that Satan is achieving one of his objectives, and that is of blaspheming God's dwelling place.

This coming week will seek to change that in the hearts of 17 students.  Please pray for us as we venture into some of the most exciting territory I've ever studied.
