I don't need to read "Pagan Christianity"; however, I realize that you have offered that as a suggestion, so please provide a summation of the book. I will take it into consideration as I enjoy reading.
To say that "hardly anything you do in church is gonna survive" is poppycock. The work of the church (which is the body of Christ containing many members) does not consist of the building and other material things. Yet, it is that which is intangible; it is the souls that are grafted into the body of Christ. Yes, heaven and earth shall pass away; this is true, however, the Lord clearly says that his words shall not pass away. The church will never die, because the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. Therefore, because the church will never cease, rather will be caught up, thus they will be rewarded according to their works. "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works" (
Matthew 16:27). So, what the word of the Lord tells me in this scripture is that the work that I do for the Lord on this earth will be recognized and will be rewarded. Also, the church is not a survivor, but we are more than conquerors.
