Death cannot keep back love; love is stronger than death. The meaning of Good Friday and Easter Sunday is that God's path to human beings leads back to God.

Jesus does not tell us what we ought to do but cannot; he tells us what God has given us and promises still to give.

I want to experience everything heaven offers, but most of all, I want to hear those never-ending songs again.

God still answers prayers, God still performs miracles. Heaven is real.

I have absolutely no fear of death. Why would I? There's nothing to fear-only joy to experience.

As I ponder this, I don't believe my greeting committee said, "Oh no, he doesn't get to stay." They're still there at the gate. They're waiting. For them, time is not passing. Everything is in the eternal now—even if I can't put that into words. Even if ten more years pass, or thirty, in heaven it will be only an instant before I'm back there again.

I only want to write one thing over the doorpost to my heart and life: "Jesus Christ lives here.

The devil, darkness, and death may swagger and boast, the pangs of life will sting for a while longer, but don't worry; the forces of evil are breathing their last. Not to worry...He's risen!

There is a Heaven within the souls of the saints-that is a certain truth; no soul shall ever come to Heaven, but the soul which has Heaven come to it first. When you die, you hope you will go to Heaven; but if you will go to Heaven when you die, Heaven will come to you before you die. Now this is a great mystery, to have the Kingdom of Heaven in the soul; no man can know this but that soul which has it.

Joy comes from having a relationship with the unchanging God and transcends any trial we can face on this earth.

Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.

I can't help but tell people of the greatest story ever told - God's love and our eternal life.
