04/28/2022 – “What is the essence of heaven?.. [It is the] beatific vision, love, and enjoyment of the triune God. For the three divine persons have an infinitely perfect vision and love and enjoyment of the divine essence and of one another. And in this infinite knowing, loving and enjoying lies the very life of triune God, the very essence of their endless and infinite happiness. If the blessed are to be endlessly and supremely happy, then, they must share in the very life of the triune God, in the divine life that makes Them endlessly and infinitely happy.” E.J. Fortman / An intro to Chapter 19 – “How Will We Worship God? from the book: “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn. // Search tool User Tip
Once again, it is not about the messenger. This book is a gift. Randy, I think, prepped for the writing of this book by reading every book ever written by heaven. (25 years of extensive research) But more importantly , he sources the book premises to the foundation of scripture. From there, we the reader, builds upon that foundation with creative imagination, that is grounded in its foundation. And that is a good place to be, just standing back in awe of our all loving, all-powerful unfathomable God.
Join me, so we can use it as one more tool that He provides us on our sanctification journey fellowship as one body in Christ.

User Tip – Searching for posts by 1) Category, and/or 2) By Tag:
If you are logged into your account, you can use either the search or filter buttons at top to capture a history of posts on the subject you are focused on. In this case, I hadn’t realized how many posts I have had on this book. In this case, you can filter on “favorite books” category or you can search “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn. In the later case, I have entered that character string as a “tag” on the post line. So, you get results back showing every historical post on this particular book.
If you couldn’t remember the book title or the author, you could just filter on the books category and browse all posts in that category. Our posts are still not voluminous enough where you won’t come up with a quick answer.
Sidebar: For Semikkah7 365 day plan users, you can type in “Day 060” in the search tool, and you will get back today’s – 04/28/2022 – Psalms 24 – 26 reading assignment. Or, you could enter “04/28/22” in the search engine to get the same result. The first option will show you any previous year’s posts. Bear in mind, we went through this read plan back two years ago, so there could be multiple postings from the search, even more so as we grow.
