The Christian looks forward to a new heaven and earth

"What ails a believer to groan so oft and so deeply? It is to be in heaven with the Lord. And the more heavenly and holy a Christian be, the more frequent and earnest are these groanings. He hath the most healthy soul, who is sick of love: whose heart is sick with desires of being present with the Lord. The believer that is most assured of heaven, groans deepest." - Robert Trail, Sermons Concerning the Throne of Grace, pg. 176

Life after death

Reading back through the Republic of Plato, with all of his faults and all, one reads in the last bit of segment of life after death. Though, Plato believed that the soul had immortality and that it never dies but rather when a man dies he goes through a sort of judgment in which he is supposed to be reincarnated. Though the question is how does Plato know this, the thought still is that Plato believed in some sort of life after the grave. Today, however, with the schools teaching materialism and Darwinian Evolution in which no longer is man a created being of God made in his image but rather a combination of primordial soup and as a result denying the existence and knowability of a god (if not The God) also deny life after the grave. The result of this grave teaching in our schools and family structure and world system is that morality doesn't depend on God but on man. Morality is a combination of feelings and disposition. One feels like they are a woman rather than a man. One feels like committing acts of rape. The sad thing of this is that it is all done in the name of equality. This hypothetical movement, in which the world attacked the church of brainwashing is now being done at an early time in a childs life. There seems to be no sign of this ending soon either. What needs to happen is a restoration of the family structure and restoration of the truth.
