It was amazing to see how the older Christians cared for the converts. They were so supportive, so caring. They were so well nurtured and the young converts desired to be in the company of older Christians whenever they could.

I think a lot of the young converts nowadays miss out on that. They don’t desire the company of older Christians. They were our College, our Theological College. We learned so much from them. One thing the young do not have is experience. We gained so much. (From Colin and Mary Peckham, “Sounds From Heaven”).

A challenge for young(er) and old(er) alike!

Imagine if heaven got into people and changed them into radically unselfish, non-defensive, unthreatened, sacrificially loving followers of Jesus as they followed Him on the narrow road to the new world, the new heaven and the new earth. Think of the explosive power of people whose way of living, whose style of relating, and whose love for God and others made secular folks feel either exposed and hostile or curious and drawn.
