All Resources

So, I shouldn’t be bragging about my Bible study or prayer or evangelism or parenting or giving, but I shouldn’t be covering it up either.

We are not always great at talking to God, at least I’m not, but I think we are even worse at listening to God. Of course, if we think we can’t hear God’s voice, at least in the figurative sense, why would we listen?

Though we mourn, our mourning should be mixed with worship of God and thanksgiving for the life of the loved one who has died.

It is talking about the present Heaven, apparently, since the New Earth comes on the scene after the final judgment, and Revelation isn’t about the New Earth until Revelation 21-22. However, some aspects of the present Heaven may be shared by the future post-resurrection Heaven.

Randy Alcorn speaking at The Seed Company Invitational 2007 about how we are created by God to do good works in Christ Jesus.

In this video clip, Randy Alcorn talks about his book Safely Home. 

So we will not be complete, fully perfected human beings until our sinless spirit is joined to a body no longer under the curse in the resurrection.

When it comes to our money and resources, what Randy is trying to communicate is to be open to the needs of the people today (the poor, the hungry and needy)....

While we do not regard ourselves a charismatic church, we do not wish to be known as “anti-charismatic.” What we do insist upon is a spirit of love and unity, the total sufficiency of Christ, and the final authority of the Scriptures.

The offspring and descendants I understand to be the offspring and descendants of people presently alive.

Last week I took a trip to Little Rock, Arkansas to record three programs about my book If God Is Good with Family Life Today radio. 

In The Chronicles of Narnia, C. S. Lewis paints a beautiful picture of heaven in the final book, The Last Battle. The book begins with a near collision of a railroad train, where the children are thrust into Narnia. But when their adventure is over, the children are afraid they will be sent back to earth again.

Note that Paul didn’t say, “Command those who are rich to stop being rich.” The implication is that there is legitimate diversity in the amount of money and possessions held by Christians. Most early Christians weren’t people of high social standing (see 1 Corinthians 1:26-29).

The ESV was much more thoroughly debated and uses a little better underlying New Testament Greek text.
