I love our Life @ Englewood video at the beginning of our worship times. Along with the urgent reminders, there are pictures of those who made decisions last Sunday along with the new members. The song playing in the background is exciting and a blessing; No better place on earth, than the road that leads to heaven........ and it ends with these words on the screen- No better place to be.
I agree with that, no other place, no better place to be than in heaven. I must confess that when I see those words, I am also reminded of Israel. I love the Lord Jesus Christ, I love the Bible, I love His principles taught in the past, and I love His promises about the future. All that takes place in one country on earth-Israel.
Exactly one year from today we will be in Israel leading a group of thirsty, seeking saints on the pilgrimage of their life. Beulah Land-no place like it on earth. It was in this country where 95% of the Bible was written. It was in Israel where the prophets preached, where the tabernacle and temple was, where it all started, and where it will all end. No place like it on earth.
Next June 21-July 1, 2011, my friend Bob Pitman and his wife Sheryl, are going to join Tebra and me as we lead anyone who wants to go with us as we experience Israel together.
I am starting to count the days. No better place on earth.......
For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden; but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year. Deut. 11:10-12
No better place to be.
