Ours Is Not To Reason Why. Remember that saying? Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do or die. I was pretty sure I remembered it –
but apparently, that’s not the way it goes. It really goes – Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die.
But what if it really is, Ours is not to reason why, ours is to do and live?

Will there be cheese in Heaven? Maybe you don’t care. I do. I’d like to see smoked salmon too. But here’s the thing. Cholesterol is becoming a problem for me. And the number one factor is cheese. Almost everything is better with cheese. And the more cheese, the better it is. Even cheese alone is good. So when I ask, will there be cheese in Heaven – it’s a serious question.
For you, maybe it’s butter. Or bacon. Or something else. Whatever’s important to you – you might be asking, will there be [fill in the blank] in Heaven.

Think about this as part of our trip to Hell. Not after we’re dead – not while we’re on the way to Heaven – because that’s too late. I say, think about it right now. Well, how about after you finish reading this.
While we’re “visiting” in Hell, we’ll see all of our friends and loved ones who’ve died, and didn’t make ti to Heaven. Now, think about how many of those friends we reached out to while they were alive. How many of them did we share the Gospel with? How many of them did we try to steer away from Hell, but instead put them on their way to Heaven?

Maybe that’s a problem – sanitizing evil. No – lot’s of people won’t want to see it. But to some extent – maybe we should. We can’t smell it. We can’t get inside the head of the person who committed the act. And we think – “it’s bad”. But we still don’t really know.
I do know now, after these past 7 years. Some of it was for others, based on feedback I’ve received. Some of it was certainly for me. The cost has been high. And yet, looking at the image at the top, I realize that when we’re talking about this particular cost, it’s really not necessary to blow up the budget – because the budget is way bigger than we can even begin to realize.
Somewhere between those two extremes is realizing that Satan and his fallen angels do exist, and knowing enough about them that we won’t be one of those who get tricked or caught up in one of Satan’s traps – and losing our soul, as Jesus told us in this explanation of the Parable of The Sower –

What are we really doing when we say someone’s in “a better place”?
Being nice? We think so.
Lying? Probably.
Is being honest better?

It seems that what is probably the most common use of the word apocalypse – meaning the end of the world – isn’t even biblical in origin. It’s one instance where the book of Revelation write about the end of the world, as we know it – and that one instance is turned into the new “definition” of the word.
