Sermon Illustrations

John Elderidge wrote in his book The Journey of Desire

“Nearly every Christian I have spoken with has some idea that eternity is an unending church service… He goes on to write – We have settled on an image of the never-ending sing-along in the sky, one great hymn after another, forever and ever, amen. And our hearts sink. Forever and ever? That’s it? That’s the good news? And then we sigh and feel guilty that we are not more spiritual. We lose heart, and we turn once more to the present to find what life we can."
