We believe in the eternal future
Do you REALLY believe in the eternal future? Try answering these questions... 1. Do you LONG for the return of Christ? 2. Are you demonstrating concern for those who should fear the coming judgement? (how many people have you warned?) 3. How much time so you spend thinking about the eternal future? (e.g. compared with your anticipation of that winter holiday in the sun?). Just think - the current creation, both heaven and earth, will cease to be. There wil be a new creation - a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness, where God will be present with His people. Why cling to this current pale reflection of the wonderful, perfect new creation that will be our eternal future home?!

Jesus taught that new wine must be poured into new wineskins because old wineskins are incapable of handling the energy and growth created by the new wine. It was his way of telling his disciples that when God wants to do something new, it will invariably require letting go of “old wineskins” – approaches, methods, traditions, attitudes that may have been wonderful in a previous day but that are prohibiting a new thing from happening today.
