Does No More Human Marriage and Sex in Heaven Mean God Won’t Fulfill My Heart’s Desires?

article - Doreen Button

Based on what you’ve shared it sounds like you are deeply disappointed with God because He hasn’t given you “the desires of your heart” by bringing a partner into your life. You are lonely and want to experience what you believe others have and believe you won’t ever get to enjoy. That’s a tough place to be and if it were a true representation of who God is and how He treats His children, you’d have a very good reason to be depressed and angry.

I Want to Follow Jesus, But My Boyfriend and I Live Together. What If Jesus Returns? Will I Be Rejected by Him?

article - Doreen Button

It sounds like you are aware that living together without a covenant marriage commitment goes against what God tells us is His will for us and you are concerned about the consequences of continuing to live together.

What's the Point of Faith When God Didn't Answer Prayers for My Loved One's Healing?

article - Doreen Button

Please remember that it takes time to reach that place of perspective. Be patient with yourself during this process. It can take three or more years just to get past the fog and confusion of a major loss.

How Do I Love God and Other People When the Feelings Aren’t Present?

article - Doreen Button

Love is not a contract in which one party must fulfill its obligations in order to receive love. I’m really grateful that God wants a relationship with us and not just lists of responsibilities we must fulfill in order to earn His love.

How Do I Find Peace When I’m Worried about the Salvation of My Family?

article - Doreen Button

Please keep reminding yourself, God loves you and yours even more than you are capable of and is no doubt working in their hearts and lives. And if you are praying diligently for them, you truly are doing everything you can for them.

Will We Be Completely Satisfied and Content in Heaven? Will We Ever Have Negative Thoughts?

article - Doreen Button

I’m so grateful that once we’re done with this cursed earth and have our resurrected, fully redeemed bodies and minds on the New Earth there will no longer be anything negative to think about.

I’m Struggling with My Faith and Knowing I’m Saved. What Should I Do?

article - Doreen Button

I’ve recently been questioning my faith even though I believe God is real. If you ask forgiveness and for God to come into your heart, does that automatically mean you’re going to Heaven?

Will I Still Matter to My Dad in Heaven?

article - Doreen Button

A dad who loved his daughter on Earth is unlikely to love her less when he’s been freed from sin’s grasp and has finally experienced love in a way none of us can before we join God in His presence. It’s hard to know how that will change us—though I’m sure it will. Yet I’m also sure it will be a change for the better and one we’ll enjoy, not regret.

What about Soulmates? And What about Smoking?

article - Doreen Button

The Bible is clear that it’s not what we do or don’t do that gets us into Heaven. Salvation only comes from trusting in Jesus’ work on our behalf.

If God Exists, Why Would He Allow My Dog to Suffer?

article - Doreen Button

Having lost a beloved dog to disease, I can empathize with the pain you are feeling over the impending death of your furry friend. Death is not a normal part of our life, at least not the life God wanted for us. I suppose that’s why it hurts so much.
