The "Heaven Will Be Boring" Lie

I've been reading Randy Alcorn's book "Heaven" off and on for over a year now. It's not a hard read, but it's a big book with a lot to ponder. 

Today I read a chapter on whether heaven will be boring. I was freshly reminded that God is good, and everything good comes from Him, so of course living His way for eternity will not be dull. 

In Randy Alcorn's words:

"Won't it be boring to be good all the time?" someone asked. Note the assumption: sin is exciting and righteousness is boring. we've fallen for the devil's lie. His most basic strategy, the same one he employed with Adam and Eve, is to make us believe that sin brings fulfillment. However, in reality, sin robs us of fulfillment. Sin doesn't make life interesting; it makes life empty."

And, bluntly: "It's not God who's boring; it's us. Did we invent wit, humor, and laughter? No. God did." 

The Lord has been frequently reminding me that His way is better than my way. He's also shown me that I can still have fun and enjoy life doing it His way (in many cases, it's much better than it would have been otherwise).
