1 Thing

 What Really Matters . . .

One day when I get to heaven I may find out I was wrong about the age of the Earth, the manifestation of the sign gifts, the mode of baptism, the timing of the Parousia, or a host of other secondary issues. But you know what? I will still get there because none of those issues determine a person’s salvation.
Friends we can differ and be wrong on many non-essentials. I have my convictions, and you may have yours. I have Scripture to back mine up and I’m sure you do too. I am not saying these things don’t matter, doctrine always matters. But before you spend your life arguing about these topics, make sure you have settled in your heart the essentials that you cannot afford to be wrong on. That salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. That He is the virgin-born sinless Son of God who’s substitutionary atonement paid the penalty for sin, and by His bodily resurrection, He forever defeated death, hell, and the grave granting forgiveness of sin and eternal life to all who believe. Without Christ, you will never get there to find out if all the other things you were so passionate about were right or wrong and frankly you won’t care at that point for it will be too late. Tell others about Jesus and how they can know Him personally before debating with them over the other things.

Saul or Paul?

 (Acts 13:6-9)

During the biblical account of Paul’s first missionary journey, Luke writes: “Then Saul, who was also called Paul…” (Acts 13:9). From this point forward, Luke only refers to the apostle as “Paul.” This shift does not reflect a name change, as has often been said, but rather a conscious decision on Paul’s part to use a name he already had. Since Paul was a Roman citizen, he would have been given three names at birth. The third was Paul’s Latin name, Paullus. Paul’s Latin name was a better fit for the predominantly Roman environment. “Saul the Pharisee” chose to be known as “Paul, a citizen of Rome.”

Memories

 Isaiah 65:17 says, “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” Some interpret Isaiah 65:17 as saying that we will have no memory of our earthly lives in heaven. However, one verse earlier in Isaiah 65:16, the Bible says, “For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes.” It is likely only our “past troubles” will be forgotten, not all of our memories. Our memories will eventually be cleansed, redeemed, healed, and restored, not erased. There is no reason why we could not possess many memories from our earthly lives. The memories that will be cleansed are the ones that involve sin, pain, and sadness. Revelation 21:4 declares, “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Concentration

 When you can’t change your circumstances, change your concentration. Peter walked on water until his concentration broke (Matthew 14:22-33). Once he took his eyes off Jesus and saw the wind and the waves, he began to sink. Likewise, if you concentrate on your circumstances, your soul will sink. But if you can concentrate on the Creator, fixing your eyes on Jesus and all that you have to be grateful for, you can rise above any situation.
