II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21
How much "overcoming" is achieved by small talk conversations on Sunday? What example did Jesus set before His followers? When the Jewish Sabbath came along, did He shout Himself hoarse watching a baseball game or some other sport? Or maybe He said to the 12: "Let's enjoy a few card games today; it's quite okay so long as we don't play for money"?
When you knuckle down to a careful study of Scripture, you will find that it is this earth which is to become the future habitation of the great bulk of Christians! "Many are called, but few are chosen"(Matt. 22:14)! Deluded Christendom, brainwashed by Lucifer, think of lollipops and pink ice cream on a hallelujah bandwagon bound for the streets of gold!!
"But Mikkel Dahl, must we be Christian `maniacs' in order to rest in the confident hope that we shall spend future eons with the Lord in glory?!"
No, not at all! The reason that you employ that "maniac" word is because you as yet have not come to know the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! You have only heard about Him! Your spiritual tummy has been filled with "pink ice cream" and your face well-padded with scented floss!
Surely I am both happy and eager to agree that it is at least one thousand times better to spend future eons here on earth in a resurrection body or in an immortalized body (bodies such as we will have and know) in contrast to being destroyed in the Lake of Fire! But how come the vast majority is going to be here on earth instead of in the Heaven world? For the simple reason they were not found fit for the Heaven world. To become fit for the Heavenly realm, we must strive to become overcomers.
Just Talking, Squawking, and Preaching
