| Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to subdue even all things unto himself. | ||
| Philippians 3:21 | ||
| Not only will our bodies be changed to be like His, but all things will be subdued, or ‘put in order’. At last! All things will be subdued, re-ordered, made right ... According to a recent Gallup poll, if Michael Jordan ran for the US Senate in Illinois, he would win by 70%. No one knows what he thinks. No one cares where he stands. None of that matters because, after all, he’s Michael Jordan. And we want him to be our leader. Why? Because he can bounce a rubber ball filled with air and jump a few inches higher than the other guys who are also bouncing a rubber ball filled with air. And because he can jump a little higher, he can jump up and drop the rubber ball through a metal hoop. Wow! Awesome! No wonder we want him to be our leader! Our culture is topsy-turvy, gang — and the only answer is heaven, for in heaven people will not be abuzz about Michael Jordan — they’ll be talking about Pearl Good ... Pearl Good cleaned houses to make enough money to be able to travel to wherever Billy Graham would be speaking, get a cheap motel room and, unbeknownst to him, pray around the clock for the Crusade. If you want a trading card that’s going to be worth something in eternity, forget Michael Jordan’s — get Pearl Good’s! We’re all mixed-up, folks. Our society is confused. Our values are wrong. Do I despair over this? No, because everything will be made right in heaven. To the person complaining about cultural chaos, heaven is the answer. To the person who says life is unfair, heaven is the answer. To the Pearl Goods of the earth, heaven is the answer. Heaven will: Solve every problem, Answer every question, Right every wrong. We’re going to be there soon, gang ... and I can’t wait! | ||
