It often appears that those who talk the most about going to heaven when you die talk the least about bringing heaven to earth right now, as Jesus taught us to pray: 'Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.'

When we get to what happens when we die, we don't have any video footage. So let's at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.

Image
What we believe about heaven and hell is incredibly important because it exposes what we believe about who God is and what God is like.
Rob Bell
Image
That may sound a big vague, but what has struck me in city after city is that despite our differences and diversity, there's a common humanity we all share. In many ways we're all searching and longing for the same things.

My experience is that lots of people go to church, sing the songs, tell the story, etc but have profound ambivalence about God.
