You're going to. In touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley,

reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Next on in touch, your convictions about heaven.

What is your conviction about heaven? Have you thought about it?

Now a conviction is the belief that you hold but which you're willing to take a strong stand for.

What do you believe about heaven?

You say, well I hadn't really thought about it much.

Well, the truth is, most people don't think about it much.

When's the last time you've heard a sermon on heaven?

When's the last time you've given it any serious thought

unless you were in the hospital and thought you were dying.

When do you think about heaven?

Not many folks think about it.

Many people are very, very ignorant about it, and most people have a very, very unbiblical view of what heaven's going to be like.

And so somebody says, well, I don't have a conviction

about some things that I don't know much about. I understand that. Well, the

purpose of this message is to introduce you to heaven, not to give you a complete explanation

of what it's all about.

Number one, you couldn't do that in one sermon or a whole book.

But at least I can introduce you to heaven in such a fashion that if you're

interested in going, I'll tell you how to get there.

And maybe give you some insights to help you to start living more like you're going there
