The picture was some artist&#8217;s impression of Heaven. It had female angels with mammoth harps and wings like a Boeing 737. I later considered what I had been taught about Heaven\u2014that I would become an angel\u2014but I could hardly manage a guitar, and the idea of dragging around that clumsy harp, while stumbling over those giant wings just didn&#8217;t appeal to me! Dr. Ivor Powell, a giant of the faith, once said, &#8220;At the age of eighty-three I asked myself what I know about the Home of God, and I was truly shocked to admit I knew very little. Increasing age and the fear that I shall soon be making my own pilgrimage, have begotten within my soul, an intense desire to explore this fascinating subject.&#8221; I thought when I became associated with fundamental Baptists that they would be different and have all the answers. I thought they would enlighten me on the subject of Heaven. I have spoken at many fundamental Baptist colleges and seminaries. They taught soul-winning, separation and security, but to my dismay not one had a class on Heaven. Isn&#8217;t Heaven what it&#8217;s all about? Far too many believers are described in Hebrews 2:15 as living in fear of death all their lifetimes, rather than anticipating the bliss awaiting them in the presence of Jesus. \u2014K.M.    DR.
