THE FACTS VERSUS BELIEFS DEBATE

Posted in Me & The World, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 25, 2025| 3 Comments »

When I discovered this meme, I immediately understood that it’s a shot across the bow at spiritual people. The book — almost certainly a Christian Bible — behind the clutched hands makes it clear this meme was likely created by atheist people.

So what about it? I’m sure there are some misguided spiritual people who claim their beliefs are facts. I’d never insist that my faith in Jesus of Nazareth, who many people believe is the Son of God, is a proven fact.

Now let me be clear: my faith is based on important truths (just one example: a vast majority of secular historians believe Jesus was a real person), but much of my spiritual convictions builds faith into those truths.

What is interesting, though, is through all my years of interacting with atheist people, I find they regularly deny their beliefs are anything other than cold, hard facts.

Based on hundreds of interactions over the past decade, I find a majority of atheist people have these beliefs:

  • There is no creator
  • People have no soul and, when they die, all that they are becomes NOTHING more than rancid worm food
  • All Jesus followers are deluded and stupid
  • All Jesus followers are in a cult
  • All Jesus followers should be mocked and denigrated whenever possible.
  • The Bible is toilet paper
  • All prayer is useless and should be mocked whenever possible.
  • Atheists are the only people who are smart
  • Atheists must teach the world how to follow them.
  • Anyone who disagrees with atheists is ignorant and deserves to be ridiculed.
  • All church leaders are money-grubbing liars.
  • God is a rapist
  • Anyone who believes in the existence of hell is a sadist

Notice that none of these points can be proven? Every one of them is a belief — or a conviction, if you prefer that term. Now I know that any atheist person who reads this blog (and I do have some regular God-denying readers) will strenuously disagree with me, but none of them have ever proven these points.

Maybe you’re not sure where you stand on God and Jesus. So let me encourage you to spend a little time doing research. Find a Jesus follower and engage him/her in a mature, respectful conversation. You can even email me (at fdking@hotmail.com) and I’ll be my imperfect best to help.

My point is, this is important. If there is a creator and He sent His Son to show us how to live, then died for ALL the wrongs we’ve done and ALL the right things we’ve failed to do, then this is important.

If there is something beyond 70+ years of eating, working and sleeping, then this is important. Please consider my words carefully, because it could effect the direction of your life — now and beyond the grave.

THE ENDLESS SUPPLY OF LOVE

Posted in Me & The World, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 6, 2025| 3 Comments »

So, is renowned atheist philosopher Friedrich Nietzche (who famously first declared “God is dead”) correct? Is there only a finite amount of love and goodness in this troubled world? Are they a resource doomed to eventually disappear?

I’m pretty sure that like me, you’ve never considered such questions, especially when considering the existence of a creator who (1) cares about His creation and (2) is involved in the affairs of humanity.

I showed this meme to my wise pastor friend Ross Carkner. His response:

“Love in the world is not a resource. From a Christian perspective, love is an outward expression of an individual’s or a community’s inward experience of the true and living God. As such love is not finite … it cannot be exhausted … it is completely renewable.

“Love is uncontainable – it emerges in the very times and places where we would expect it to not exist. We see it in wake of famines and natural disasters. We discover it the midst of wars and tragedies.

“While love on occasion can be directed as if in a garden hose, it seems to work best when it emerges from within and reproduces seemingly on its is own. Love does have a source. The greater the acknowledgement of God’s presence, the stronger it is experienced, for as the Bible says, God is love!”

There’s an unspoken viewpoint behind the words of Nietzsche (1844-1900) and it’s this: don’t waste your time bothering with anything you consider to be a creator.

I understand his position, given his atheist beliefs. But consider how loving God and Jesus of Nazareth (who many people believe is the Son of God) has changed this world:

  • Dozens of non-profit organizations, such as Samaritan’s Purse, World Vision, Mission Aviation Fellowship, Compassion Canada and Lifewater, are providing vital physical, spiritual and emotional help to millions of suffering people around the world. All of them are driven by the love of God.
  • Some of the world’s most renowned universities, such as Oxford and Princeton, were started by people inspired by their love of God. (Read more about this, in a blog called ‘Higher Learning & The Higher Power,’ here: https://wp.me/p2wzRb-9O)
  • Saint Basil (330-379), A Turkish Jesus follower, establishing the first comprehensive hospitals in the 4th century. This charitable tradition continued through the Middle Ages with institutions such as the Hotel-Dieu (in English, ‘Hotel of God’) in Paris. Would this have happened so early on without God-loving people?

This is why I can write, with great confidence, that becoming a Jesus follower can not only transform your life — giving you a new purpose, a new sense of joy and a worldview that doesn’t shift with every new trend — it also opens the door to eternity in the presence of your creator. And I guarantee you, that will go far, far beyond anything you can possibly imagine.

THE BOOK OF REALITY

Posted in It's Not About 'Religion', tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 16, 2025| 7 Comments »

Perhaps you’ve never read a Bible and, based on what you’ve heard from others, never want to even touch one.

You’ve lived with the satisfyingly vague notion that there’s some kind of creator out there and, if you manage to do more good than bad, you’ll get entry to whatever coming’s next.

And yet, here you are, reading a blog examining a book that apparently still leaves you curious. So give me a few moments to do my imperfect best to explain the Bible and encourage you to give it some consideration.

First of all, it’s absolutely NOT a novel. While the Bible contains narrative sections, it also has historical accounts, poetry, legal codes, letters and prophetic writings.

Plus, novels are usually written by one or two people; the Bible is written by dozens of people in three languages (Hebrew, Aramaic — the language of Jesus of Nazareth, who many people believe is the Son of God — and Greek) over thousands of years.

Despite all these authors and all that time, the Bible has consistent themes:

  • The universe, this planet and everything on it are God’s creation
  • Humanity is the crowning touch of God’s creation because we were made aware of ourselves and aware of our creator.
  • Through the bad things we’ve done and the good things we’ve failed to do, humanity has walked away from the love and care of our creator.
  • God ceaselessly invites us back to Him — first through passionate men (called prophets) endowed with unique knowledge/experience of God, then through the life, teachings, miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.

The last point is critical, because Jesus told anyone willing to listen: “You must be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.” So there it is; when this life ends, you’ll need to be perfect to get past the bouncer at the ‘pearly gates’.

Well, that’s a problem, isn’t it? Since no one can ever get close to perfection, how can even one of us get to Heaven?

The answer is Jesus. When He allowed Himself to be arrested on false charges, convicted and put to death, Jesus paid the penalty for every wrong thing done by His followers, and every right thing we’ve failed to do.

After that, God saw — and continues to see — His Son’s followers just as He sees Jesus: perfect in every way. The result is when Jesus followers end this life, the bouncer ushers them into a joyous eternity with God.

Just as important, when people like YOU invite Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour, He comes into your heart IMMEDIATELY and begins making you more like the person God created you to be.

All this is in the Bible for you to discover. What about the “murder, corruption, homophobia, bestiality, incest and cruelty”? Well, the bible absolutely isn’t “full” of that stuff as the meme creator suggests, but they are there. Why? Because the Bible is about REALITY.

It doesn’t sugar-coat the often horrific behaviour of humanity. The Bible lays it all out so it’s plain to see why we are in a bad way and why/how Jesus can and does fix that for everyone who follows Him.

So how about you? Are you willing to at least read a few Bible chapters now and then? Yes or no, post your comments below and let’s have a conversation.

“THIS IS NOT A FULFILLING LIFE”

Posted in In The News, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 19, 2025| 3 Comments »

I’m not a huge golf fan but this headline, in Canada’s National Post, grabbed my attention because in our culture, professional athletes are supposed to obsess over their careers.

So what gives with American golfer Scott Scheffler, who’s currently the top-ranked player in the world?

“I’m not here to inspire someone to be the best player in the world because what’s the point?,” he told reporters, who must have been thoroughly gobsmacked at hearing this heresy. “This is not a fulfilling life.”

What?? How can this be? Did Scheffler get hit in the head with a golf ball? Did someone whack him with a putter? There must be some explanation for this wonky, ridiculous thinking.

And there is. Consider Scheffler’s answer to a question about his reading habits: “I have a devotional book on my iPad. I have another book which I’m reading that’s definitely not a golf book. It’s another spiritual book. My Bible is pretty much it.”

Ah. There it is. Scheffler is some kind or religious nut, right? And yet you’re reading this blog because somewhere in your mind and heart, you’re open to spirituality – and maybe even to Jesus of Nazareth, who many people believe is the Son of God.

Despite Scheffler’s astounding success — the article says the 29-year-old Texan “has taken over the sport as the most dominant player since Tiger Woods” — he has found himself grounded in a way most of us can only dream about.

Among the many things Jesus told anyone willing to listen is this: “What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?”

Scheffler appears to understand this very well. And maybe this understanding has contributed to his success.

There’s something for me and you to learn from this. Whatever we’re pursuing, is it worth damaging our health, our emotional well-being or our relationships? NO. Especially when it’s all temporary. Our 70 or 80 years on this planet are nothing but a blip compared to what’s coming next.

Scheffler seems to comprehend what’s coming next. That’s why he’s placed his faith and trust in Jesus, because anyone who does so will spend a glorious eternity in the presence of their creator.

This is how it works: Jesus told his listeners, “You must be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.” So there it is; when this life ends, you’ll need to be perfect to get past the bouncer at the ‘pearly gates’.

Well, that’s a problem, isn’t it? Since no one can ever get close to perfection, how can even one of us get to Heaven?

The answer is Jesus. When He allowed Himself to be arrested on false charges, convicted and put to death, Jesus paid the penalty for every wrong thing done by His followers, and every right thing we’ve failed to do.

After that, God saw — and continues to see — His Son’s followers just as He sees Jesus: perfect in every way.

Just as important, when people like YOU invite Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour, He comes into your heart IMMEDIATELY and begins making you more like the person God created you to be.

OUR HEART PROBLEM

Posted in Me & The World, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 17, 2025| 3 Comments »

Do you share the opinion of famed Indian actor and atheist Kamal Hassan? It wouldn’t surprise me. There was a time when I thought this way, too. So stick with me as I do my imperfect best to unpack this statement and, hopefully, persuade you to rethink your position.

First of all, The U.S.-based World Food Program says this: “There is no global food shortage because we produce more than enough food to feed everyone in the world.” The problem, according to the United Nations, is:

  • 14 percent of the world’s food (valued at $400 billion per year) continues to be lost after it is harvested and before it reaches retail.
  • a further 17 percent of our food ends up being wasted in retail and by consumers, particularly in households. That lost and wasted food could feed 1.26 billion hungry people every year.

This is why, when I showed my pastor friend Ross Carkner the meme above, he noted “the problem is not with what God has provided us, but with the hearts of humanity. God provided food for every hungry child, but it has been kept from them by greed, indifference and selfishness. We can’t blame God for our injustice!“

In other words, all of us, including ME and YOU, have a heart problem. Said Ross: “This is hard for us because we feel like we don’t have enough … we always want more. To live more simply so others can simply live is beyond too many of us.”

Again, it’s a heart problem. That problem manifests itself in labelling so many of our selfish, indulgent wants as needs. And I’m as guilty as the next person.

Meanwhile, there are many charitable organizations that follow Jesus of Nazareth — who many people believe is the Son of God — and are committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus to people imprisoned in generational cycles of poverty. I recently retired from one of them, Samaritan’s Purse. Others include Lifewater, Compassion Canada, Salvation Army and the Mustard Seed.

As you digest this, consider your heart problem and how to fix it. Are you frustrated that so often, your efforts to improve yourself have failed? That’s often been my frustration, until I realized that I simply cannot do it on my own. I don’t have the willpower, the endurance, the strength of character.

So I trust God to improve me. Years ago, after much reading and discussion with thoughtful Jesus followers, I decided to trust my present (and future) to Jesus. I asked Him to forgive me of all the wrongs things I’ve done and all the right things I’ve failed to do.

That opened the door for Jesus to come into my heart and soul and start the life-long process of making me more like the person God created me to be. And when that journey finishes, I’ll spend eternity with my creator.

Does this sound interesting to you? Yes or no, drop a comment below and let’s have a conversation.

WHO KNOWS IT ALL?

Posted in Me & The World, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 12, 2025| 4 Comments »

Maybe you’ve encountered some “religious” Christians who left you with a bad taste in your mouth because they insisted all they need to know can be found in the Bible.

I’m with you on this. In fact, this is just one more reason why I want nothing to do with “religion” (a few more reasons can be found here: https://frankscottage.blog/2018/06/30/the-unniceness-of-religion/).

I’m a man of faith who follows Jesus of Nazareth (who many people believe is the Son of God), but I absolutely DO NOT know everything. In fact, since deciding to follow Jesus more than 20 years ago, I’ve yet to meet a single person who fits the stereotype of the atheist meme that sparked this blog.

So let’s clear up the misconceptions. For a start, I have approximately 1,000 fiction, non-fiction, photography, humour, history and spirituality books. Now I’d never claim that other Jesus followers are similar reading enthusiasts, but a majority read at least a few books now and then. Just like most other North Americans.

What about Jesus-following scientists (I wrote about a few of them here: https://wp.me/p2wzRb-e9)? I feel quite safe in writing that most of these folks have entire walls of books. And I can’t imagine even one of them claiming to “know everything” from the Bible.

So what do we know? Based on philosophy, archaeology, science and ancient documents that have never been disproven, we know this:

  • There’s a creator behind the universe, this planet, the air you’re breathing and YOU.
  • This creator is without fault, blemish or stain. I know this because Jesus said His Father is absolutely holy.
  • This creator knows ALL of His creations, including YOU. In fact, He knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows we fall far, far short of being holy.
  • This creator promises us that there’s much more to life that just 75 years of eating, sleeping, working and watching bad reality TV. This life is just the opening page to the book of all eternity.
  • This creator’s standard for spending that eternity with Him is perfection. I know this because Jesus told anyone willing to listen that “You must be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.”
  • Since no one has any hope of reaching that standard on their own, God provided a way: His Son’s undeserved death and extraordinary resurrection three days later. Jesus himself said He “came to serve others and to give [my] life to save many people“.

Why not to save ALL people? Because being saved — to qualify for eternity in Heaven — requires declaring Jesus to be Lord, Saviour and best friend. When this happens, God no longer sees all the wrong things we’ve done and the right things we’ve failed to do. He only sees His Son’s perfection.

If all that seems far away and, therefore, irrelevant, consider this: Jesus told His followers that He would leave them a spiritual guide to help them become the people God created them to be. In other words, trusting in Jesus can make a positive, life-changing difference NOW.

PAYING THE COST

Posted in Me & The World, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 15, 2025| 4 Comments »

Anyone familiar with Jesus of Nazareth – who many people believe is the Son of God – will be confounded, perplexed and, often, offended by the truth advanced in the atheist meme that kicked off this blog.

So stick with me while I do my very imperfect best to explain it and, hopefully, give you a life-giving new perspective on what it means to be a Jesus follower.

First, a little history. In ancient Jewish culture (when He was physically on Earth, Jesus was a Jew), a goat was selected annually to symbolically bear the weight of all the wrong things people did that year and all the right things they failed to do.

That goat, called the scapegoat, was sent into the wilderness to die. It sounds bizarre to us, but it was a pillar of ancient Jewish thought. Please note, however, that the scapegoat forgiveness was only symbolic and it only lasted a year.

Now, you may be thinking that this kind of thing is absolutely unnecessary today, but consider these two facts:

  1. God’s standard for spending eternity in Heaven with Him is perfection. The proof? Jesus told anyone willing to listen that “you must be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.”

2. No one can achieve God’s standard on their own. I can’t, you can’t and even the most saintly person on this planet can’t. God knew that so He did something about it. He sent His perfect Son to Earth to live a humble life, bring incredible miracles and teaching to people in desperate need, then die on a cross.

That death was life-changing because for His followers, it permanently forgives ALL the wrong things we’ve done and ALL the right things we’ve failed to do. No exceptions. In this way, Jesus did what the ancient Jewish scapegoat could never do.

Three days later, Jesus fulfilled His own predication by rising from the dead and, according to one of His most accomplished followers (a guy named Paul of Tarsus), appeared to more than 500 people. Through this, He proved His claim to be the divine Son of God.

So why can’t God just snap His fingers and forgive us all? Good question. Because just as a forgiven thief still has to serve jail time, so our “sins” still have to be paid for; there’s nothing unreasonable about that. And Jesus pays the cost of forgiveness for all His followers.

I regard this as very good news. And there’s more. When you say yes to following Jesus – when you sincerely declare Him your Lord, Saviour and best friend – He comes into your life and starts making you more of the person you were created to be. And that process won’t end until this life ends and you meet Jesus face to face.

Sound interesting? Yes or no, post your thoughts below and let’s have a conversation.

FROM SLAVES TO DIVINE PARTNERS

Posted in Me & The World, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 8, 2025| 3 Comments »

Oh, boy. There is a lot to unpack in this atheist meme, so if you’re wondering if the viewpoint expressed here has any accuracy, stick around. It’ll be worth your while.

  • Followers of Jesus of Nazareth — who many people believe is the Son of God — have come to understand who He is and who they are. In response to that, people like me have made conscious decisions to make Jesus our Lord, our Saviour and our best friend.
    Nowhere is slavery involved in any way, shape or form.
    My pastor friend, Ross Carkner, explains it so well: “A slave is someone who is forced to obey another … Christians are people who of their own volition surrender their will in favour of following … specifically following Jesus.”
        • As followers of Jesus, God works in and through us to bring physical and spiritual aid to a world that even the most optimistic person must admit isn’t doing very well.
          Are we doing a good job as junior partners in God’s work? Quite often, NO. And that certainly applies to me. Jesus followers often misrepresent God. We often let our selfish and petty insecurities get in the way of what He’s doing . But in the end, that doesn’t matter.
          “God’s plan for us [and the world] never changes, so there is no plan B,” writes pastor Chris Norland. In fact, God can and often does use our failures to further His work.
            • So what does this mean for the charge that God wishing evil or harm to others and being malicious? If point number two isn’t convincing, let’s go back to Ross: “There is no one in all of history who has, with any real and lasting credibility, ever made a case for the historical Jesus being malevolent.”
              Ah, but wait, you say: the meme doesn’t even mention Jesus! Ross’s response: “Since the existence of Jesus was expressly understood as God in the flesh …. to refer to God as malevolent is not only a misreading of the Bible, it is reflecting our own brokenness as we deal with the enormous challenges of living in this hurting world.”
              In other words, the meme’s creator is blaming his/her own failures, and the failures of this struggling world, on God. Where’s the credible evidence to support this claim? There simply isn’t any. NONE.

            As you digest all this, consider these truths: no matter who you are or what you’ve done or not done, God LOVES YOU. God offers YOU the gift of His Son. If you accept that gift — Jesus’s life, sacrificial death and resurrection — then Jesus comes into your world and starts the life-long process of making you the person God created you to be.

            Just as important, ALL the bad things you’ve done and the good things you’ve failed to do will be wiped out. God will see only His Son’s perfection. And when this life ends, you’ll spend eternity in the presence of your maker. Sound good? Yes or no, post your thoughts below and let’s have a conversation.

            WHO IS YOUR AUDIENCE?

            Posted in Me & The World, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 11, 2025| 3 Comments »

            The title of this album, recorded almost 50 years ago by actor/singer David Soul (famous for co-starring in TV’s Starsky & Hutch) has always stuck with me. At the time, I recall a particularly unpleasant reviewer declaring that after being forced to hear the album, it now had an audience of none. 😦

            From my perspective as a retired 60-something, almost all of us spend our lives playing to audiences. During my working life, I played for an audience of co-workers and supervisors. These days, I play for an audience of my wife, stepkids and grandchildren.

            Audiences watch, listen and ultimately (whether they know it or not) judge the “performer”. And for performers, the key to success is knowing their audience and providing what they want. In my life, that includes dealing with the garbage/recycling/compost for my wife and picking up our grandchildren from school.

            In the spiritual realm — and I assume you’re open to spirituality — there’s much, much more to this idea. In that world, all of us play to an audience of exactly one. (And no nasty music reviewer can change that).

            That audience is the master of time, space and the universe. And the creator of you & me. Unlike our human audiences, we can’t hide anything from God.

            “Because His knowledge is infinite and perfect, He never has to figure anything out,” says Canadian pastor Henry Shore. “He’s never surprised, confused or shocked. God knows everything there is to know about you and me.”

            Kinda unnerving, isn’t it?

            This isn’t just Henry’s opinion. An ancient writer and prophet noted “I’m an open book to You [God]; even from a distance, You know what I’m thinking. You know everything I’m going to say before I start the first sentence.”

            So how do we deal with this audience? To start with, understand that your creator loves YOU. No matter what you’ve done or not done, no matter what kind of success or failure you’ve experienced, no matter what anyone thinks of you (including mean-spirited music reviewers). NOTHING changes God’s love for YOU.

            This explains why that same ancient writer/prophet could state, “This is too much, too wonderful — I can’t take it all in!”

            All this is wonderful, but it’s important to understand this: the wrong things we do and right things we fail to do put a barrier between us and our loving creator. Consider these words that Jesus of Nazareth (who many people believe is God’s Son) said to anyone willing to listen: “you must be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.”

            Oh boy. This makes the barrier I mentioned seem impossible to breach. And it is, on our own. But Jesus–His extraordinary life and teachings, His death and resurrection–is God’s gift to ANYONE willing to accept it. If you accept it, if you declare Jesus Lord, Saviour and your best friend, God no longer sees your “sins”. He only sees His Son’s perfection. So when this life ends, you’ll be welcomed to spend eternity in His presence.

            Sound like a good deal? Yes or no, post your thoughts below and let’s have a conversation.

            MONEY? NO. PARTNERSHIP? YES!

            Posted in Movies & TV, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 18, 2024| 2 Comments »

            Ah, Homer Simpson. That great thinker, philosopher, speaker of eloquent brilliance and general renaissance man has come up with another morsel of life-changing gold. Okay, maybe not. 😉

            But this quote, from the long-running animated TV show, does open the door to exploring one of the contentious points often brought up by people opposed to God (and Jesus of Nazareth, who many people believe is God’s Son).

            The creator and master of time, space and the universe is a money-grubbing ogre, these folks claim with mocking derision. So why would any thoughtful person bother with Him?

            The answer is simple: God does NOT need money or anything else from His creation. He needs NOTHING. Zero. Squat. A cookie with a hole in the middle (i.e. 0).

            For people like me, who regularly contribute to the ministries of my church and other Jesus-following charitable organizations, the idea of giving money is to partner with God.

            God works through through these institutions – and, by extension, through ME – to reach out with physical and spiritual aid to suffering people. That’s exactly what my church does and what organizations like Samaritan’s Purse, LifeWater, World Renew and many more do every day.

            Couldn’t God do all this on His own, without bothering with us quarrelsome, petty, self-centred human beings? Absolutely. But consider the parent who allows his/her three-year-old to help bake cookies. The parent could easily do it easier and faster without the “assistance”, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about a love relationship that extends to almost every area of life. That’s why God partners with very imperfect people like ME.

            This relationship also follows up on something Jesus told anyone willing to listen: “Whenever you saw a brother or sister hungry or cold, whatever you did to the least of these, so you did to Me.”

            So, as Jesus followers act on His example of helping others, we show people who God is, what His Son is doing in this hurting world right now, and why it’s worth investigating what it means to follow Jesus.

            You can get in on this action and partner with God anytime you like. Just decide, and then declare, that Jesus is your Lord, Saviour and best friend. Tell Him you’re sorry for the bad things you’ve done and the good things you’ve failed to do. Invite Him into your heart, mind and life, then get connected with other Jesus followers.

            When you do that, God embarks on a life-long project to make you more like the person He created you to be. Even better, God sees you like He sees His Son: perfect in every way. And when this life ends, you’ll spend eternity with Him in Heaven.
