Thanks to Mike Wittmer for his recent online review of my eschatology book, A New Heaven and a New Earth. Finally, here’s a review that takes issue with some of my points (though none of the major ones). Wittmer and I are in basic agreement on the big issues; but it would be interesting to have a dialogue on the small issues sometime.

A Song about All Things New—”Wait in Hope” by Stefanie Potter
Stefanie Potter is a 2008 graduate of Roberts Wesleyan College, with a major in Religion and Philosophy. During her time at Roberts, Stefanie took three undergraduate courses with me, including “Exploring the Christian Worldview,” a course that examines the implications of God’s redemption of creation for living in postmodern western culture.
Since graduation, Stefanie has gone on to become an accomplished singer/songwriter, with a wonderful voice and insightful lyrics. One of her songs, “Wait in Hope” (on God’s redemption of creation) has been chosen by the website “The High Calling” to be thematically linked with this week’s theme of “All Things New” (the song contains the lyric “You are making all things new”). Stefanie’s song goes well with my own article on this theme (“God’s Bringing Creation to Its Glorious Destiny”).
You should check out Stehanie’s song, as well as her Tweets and her Facebook page.
All Things New: God’s Bringing Creation to Its Glorious Destiny
There is a fascinating website called “The High Calling,” dedicated to a Christian view of work and vocation. Each week they feature a different theme. The theme for the last week of October 2014 was “Designed to Work.” I recently posted (with permission) an article by Bob Robinson that was part of this theme, called “Made in God’s Image.”
Bob invited me to write an article on the theme for the second week of January 2015, which is “All Things New.” My article, entitled “Bringing Creation to Its Glorious Destiny,” tells how I moved from being a dualist, with a sacred/secular worldview, to embracing a wider vision of God’s redemption of creation.
I recommend you check out this wonderful website for its range of interesting articles (print and video) on a holistic view of work and vocation.
