God has made these realities available. We must pursue them. These gifts are the overflow of the face of God encounter.

As Christians, we must get rid of the notion that the only answer for life's troubles is for us to die and go to heaven. Don't be mistaken—heaven is real and is greater than we can possibly imagine.
