DEADLINE TO TURN IN BOXES IS THIS SUNDAY, Nov. 5th
After our previous study on the paranormal I was approached by several people asking questions about what our loved ones are doing right now in heaven.
The biblical doctrine of Heaven is vast. So, we will be zeroing in on the specific area of “loved ones in heaven,” seeing what the Bible says about questions such as:
(1) Are our loved ones “looking down on us” right now?
(2) What are they doing in heaven?
(3) How old are they now that they’re in heaven?
(4) Will they recognize us when we arrive?
I researched all of these questions, and more, after our son, Jordan, stepped into Paradise four years ago.
When you stop and consider what Christ made possible for us (after life on planet earth) you cannot help but be overcome with joy and peace.
It’s a wonderfully encouraging study. I hope you’ll join me Wed. evening (11/1) at 6:30. nw

“ALL MY HOPE” by DAVID CROWDER
The Lord has been using this recently released song in my life. It’s one of those songs that, after you hear it, you continue to hum and/or sing throughout the day. Enjoy.

QUOTE of the WEEK
LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE: HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!
GRACE NOTES: “Be a Sinner & Sin Boldly”
The Protestant Reformation
You may see posts today and/or tomorrow on social media marking the 500th anniversary of when, on October 31, 1517, a German priest/preacher named Martin Luther nailed a series of objections on the Castle Church door in Wittenberg in response to the corruption of the medieval Roman Catholic Church – specifically, in response to the satanic lie that “salvation in Christ must be – or can be – earned by human effort.”
The reformation of the medieval Roman Catholic doctrine neither began – nor ended – with Luther. But Luther gets most of the publicity due to his dramatic “nailing of his 95 Theses” on the Wittenberg church door.
That the persistent conviction, boldness & courage of the reformers (Knox, Hus, Calvin, Wycliffe, Tyndale, Luther, etc.) – even in light of punishment by death – moved the theological tectonic plates of the time cannot be overstated.
Personally, I love researching this particular part of religious history.
Here is a blog I wrote on the Protestant Reformation almost three years ago specifically for those who are imprisoned in forever trying to be good enough for God to love them.
You can read the blog here.
By the way, the valediction – or closing – I customarily use (“soli deo gloria”) is one of the “5 Solas” of the Protestant Reformation. It is Latin for “To God alone be glory.”
Soli Deo Gloria, Nick
