Former location of "The Kingdom of the Heavens" blog, written by an incurable fool who is trying to become a holy fool!
I am posting a new poem I recently wrote, the most complete text I am able to find of an old Isaac Watts hymn, and some related scriptures, all on the subjects of death and the futility of “success” in this life. God is our only hope.
This outline links to posts that contain my 2020 revision of the chapters I wrote in Ian Johnson & Lauston Stephens, Our Oneness in Christ (Baltimore: Publish America 2006) (only the Amazon Kindle edition is still available). Chapters 2, 7 through 10, 15 and 16 were written by Mr. Stephens, and were important to the overall meaning of the book. However, they are his work, and I will not be attempting to rewrite them on this blog. I would invite the reader to find them in the Kindle book—or in a now quite rare print copy.
