Where are we going?

Here is Chuck Colson on "An Everlasting Playground: Understanding the Nature of Heaven." Many Christians have bought into one of two visions of the afterlife: the therapeutic heaven or the luxurious heaven. Colson argues, quite rightly, that these are defective. My question: what ever happened to the new earth, which scripture indicates is our ultimate destination? It seems odd that a reflection on the afterlife would neglect to mention it. Perhaps he needs to read this.
