We're back with Randy Alcorn, an expert on what the Bible says about heaven.

Randy, thanks for joining us.

So here's a question near to my heart.

Will there be baseball in heaven?

In other words, we know that there will be play in heaven, Isaiah 11, 8 and Zechariah 8.5

seem to indicate this in scripture.

But will competitive sports carry over from this world?

Seems like baseball and basketball and golf.

We know we're speculating on this, but I believe there's every reason to expect there would

be.

There's continuity.

If we go back and we say, what will not, instead of asking the question, what will there

be on the new earth that will be the same as on the old earth?

We should kind of turn it around.

What would we expect to be different?

Well, we know there won't be sin.

The new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Second Peter 3, 13, I mean, we know that for sure.

So there won't be sin.

So I actually had a pastor tell me who was disagreeing with my comment that I would expect

there to be sports on the new earth.

Now when we say sports in heaven, there's the present heaven and the non, the pre-resurrection
