Welcome to Telegrams From Heaven
George Whitefield, an 18th century preacher and outstanding orator, quotes Martin Luther in his Telegram From Heaven.
We’ve transcribed his telegram for an easier read. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks for dropping by.
Dear Friend, On this Good Friday, it is worthwhile to remember what Martin Luther said. "I preach as though Christ were crucified yesterday, rose from the dead today, and is coming back to earth again tomorrow." His words are fitting this time of year. I suggest you replace the word "preach" with the word "live", and the ups and downs of life will even out tremendously. George Whitefield
Who is George Whitefield and is he in heaven? George Whitefield, born in 1714, was probably the most famous religious orator and evangelist of the the 18th century; he often preached to thousands of spellbound listeners in both England and America; he ignited the spiritual revival known as The Great Awakening; and due to his faith in Christ most assuredly became a citizen of heaven upon his death in 1770.
About Our Telegrams
Through brief, focused and topical messages, Telegrams From Heaven intends to encourage, entertain and inspire our neighbors around the world. We want to provide hope and inspiration.
The “authors” of each Telegram From Heaven are men and women of accomplishment who lived in the ancient or recent past. Each were known for their faith, or at least the potential for faith during their lifetimes. They are from around the globe, from every walk of life, and their life stories are inspiring and encouraging. We believe these stories offer powerful messages that might help change lives in some small or meaningful way, even if just to improve your walk with God, or to realize someone cares enough to send you a Telegram From Heaven.
The word “heaven” inspires limitless definitions among the religious and non-religious. A few examples include “the home of God,” “a setting of ultimate perfection in the clouds,” or “a place where the resurrection bodies and departed souls of believers spend eternity.” Most often the word conjures up images of ornate, opulent buildings and streets paved with gold. Of beauty, of paradise, of a heavenly kingdom.
Most Christians believe it is a real place, separate from Earth. Others are convinced it is close enough for its inhabitants to reveal themselves miraculously to the living. So why not by a Telegram From Heaven? It’s certainly something to think about.
Thanks for dropping by.
