Readings for 4 July 2010

We have one of our usually more interesting catechism lessons coming up: The Judgment and the Kingdom of Heaven. Read here if you don't have Fr. Hopko's The Orthodox Faith: vol. i, Doctrine. How do we reconcile fire and brimstone, the worm that never dies with a loving God who died for our salvation? In the Kingdom of Heaven are we all going to sit around with wings on our backs playing harps - please, tell me it will be something a little less boring! Come and talk about it with us next Sunday.
