France \u201cabolished\u201d God in 1793 (only to vote Him back \u201cinto existence\u201d in 1796). Such childish defiance would doubtless amuse our Creator did it not so grieve Him. God is not even \u201csick,\u201d much less dead, as some theologians declared in the 1960s and as disciples of the likes of the late Christopher Hitchens (d. 2011) and Richard Dawkins have trumpeted for several decades. We did not create Him; He created us\u2014and Men cannot destroy Him, but He can destroy us (Mat. 10:28). \u201cThou art from everlasting\u201d (Psa. 93:2b).

The Voltaires, Rousseaus, Bolingbrokes, Paines, and their modern counterparts never learn. The Bible has proved itself quite capable of surviving the most awful assaults, coming out ever stronger from the struggle. No book of mere human literary origin could do so. In a world of doubt, despair, and decline, it remains the static source of hope, joy, peace, purity, and salvation to those wise enough to embrace it. \u201cThe word of our God shall stand forever\u201d (Isa. 40:8b).

Saul of Tarsus tried to destroy it (Acts 8:1\u20133; 9:1\u20132). The Roman Empire could not crush it. False philosophies, legislation, or other assailants of the present will fare no better. The church is \u201ca kingdom that cannot be shaken\u201d (Heb. 12:23, 28). It is that indestructible, \u201cforever\u201d kingdom Daniel foretold five centuries before its founding (Dan. 2:44). Jesus\u2019 kingdom, now still on earth, is a spiritual, <strong>unshakable<\/strong> entity (John 18:36).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Heaven:<\/strong> Many deny Hell, while espousing Heaven, but they stand or fall together (Mat. 25:46). Heaven is the \u201cFather\u2019s House\u201d where Jesus will take His church upon His return (John 14:2\u20133; 1 Cor. 15:24). It is a place of bliss where sin, sorrow, and suffering can never enter\u2014\u201cincorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away\u201d (1 Pet. 1:3).
