A Word from
VCCS President
Pastor Robyn Gool
Please Don't Miss Heaven!
We have to make sure we're not earthbound, that nothing in this earth has us tied down. We're ambassadors of heaven, and we're representing a real physical place. We have to live with a purpose and focus. Colossians 3:1 says if you are risen with Christ, seek those things that are above.
Don't get so caught up in this world and its issues that you forget about heaven. Your purpose on earth is to live like you're going to heaven. We're sojourners passing through here. God says heaven is where his throne is and earth, His footstool. God wants us in heaven. Change your perspective. Stop being earthbound and earth thinking as if there is no heaven. If you start thinking about what you were and what you enjoyed in the world, the devil will see to it you go back there.
God says we can know what heaven is like by looking at the visible things. So there are no real atheists or agnostics. Let things get bad enough, they'll say, "Oh, God!" Heaven is such a beautiful place. There are trees, rivers, animals, books, rainbows, crowns, angels, etc. in heaven. Things we have on earth are in heaven. Heaven is inhabited by people, and we'll know each other in heaven. Is there anything in your life keeping you from being prepared for heaven? Heaven is for prepared people. Heaven will be filled with only good people. No more Satan, wickedness, sickness, pain, sorrow, etc. Why would you want to go to hell and spend eternity with wicked people? In hell you'll spend eternity with all the hypocrites, murderers, etc.
I don't want to live like there's no heaven. If you go to hell, you're going to burn forever. If you go to heaven, you'll live in God's peace and glory forever. God doesn't want us to get born again, and everything be about us. We're supposed to tap into His will, His plan, His purpose and represent Him.
Jesus referred to heaven over 100 times. Notice a personal statement Jesus made to people about heaven.
"And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them
(
Hebrews
11:15-16
)."
How can we know what Heaven is like?
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse (Romans
1:18-20)."
Jesus said, "B
ut lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also
(
Matthew
6:20-21
)."
Nothing on earth should be that important to you that you miss heaven. I want to see the Lord. God wants to preserve us for heaven (2 Timothy 4:18). That's what God's doing in your life, trying to preserve you. We have to stop resisting the work of the Holy Spirit. God's got some stuff waiting for you in heaven. I plan on getting mine. Please don't miss heaven!

THREE SENIORS LEND A HELPING HAND
at CHURCH IN THE CITY WOMEN'S SHELTER
|
|
|
|
L-R: Preston Gaines, Tim Baten & Makarii Randolph
|
Seniors Preston Gaines, Tim Baten and Makarii Randolph are doing their part
to serve an inner city Charlotte community. On Sunday, they helped serve food to 25 residents at
Church in the City Women's Shelter.
"It made me appreciative
to give back to the community,
" said Makarii
Randolph. " It also made me wonder about their
situations, particularly the older women, because things happen in
everybody's life."
Ms. Treva Farmer, VCCS Guidance Counselor and Outreach Coordinator, accompanied the young men on this outreach. She said the purpose of KINGS SOAR is to teach our students to be followers of
God and to be like Him. "Jesus' compassion led him to serve and to ultimately
give His life for us," she said. "Thank God for the hearts of our students!"

The Broyhill Leadership Conference is a unique, life-changing experience for delegates who attend each year.
