This past week I came across this great, great posting from John Piper. I have posted it below in its entirety.
It is very important that if you start reading it, that you read it all the way through. Do it. You will be blessed, I promise.
If you would rather listen to it than read it, you can do that here.

Let me tell you about a most wonderful experience I had early Monday
morning, March 19, 2007, a little after six o’clock. God actually spoke
to me. There is no doubt that it was God. I heard the words in my head
just as clearly as when a memory of a conversation passes across your
consciousness. The words were in English, but they had about them an
absolutely self-authenticating ring of truth. I know beyond the shadow
of a doubt that God still speaks today. . .
Here you'll find Pastor Gene's thoughts on current events in and around the church, theological statements, answers from the now defunct "Voices of Faith" section of our local newspaper, and answers to questions from church members and visitors to our web site. Feel free to ask your own question using the "Contact Us" section of the site.

Is "Heaven is for Real" for real?
I finally found time to sit down and read the book, “Heaven
is for Real,” by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent. I hadn’t really had any desire to
do so, since I figured I kind of new what was coming. The subtitle, “A little
boy’s astounding story of his trip to heaven and back” sort of spills the beans
as to what will be found between its bright yellow and orange covers (complete
with a picture of little Colton). After a few requests from members of my
congregation, however, I dove in and after two sessions, had it finished off.
To give my impressions of it, I think it needs to be dealt
with on different levels.
