All Resources

Hebrews 12 speaks of the Heavenly City as apparently already existing in the present Heaven, but we don't know exactly how that works...

It will sometimes happen that where there is the most sorrow in the antecedents, there will be the most pleasure in the sequel.

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

Without an eternal perspective, without ­under­standing the reality that the best is yet to come, we assume that people who die young, who are handicapped, who ­aren’t healthy, who ­don’t get married, or who ­don’t _____ [fill in the blank] inevitably miss out on the best life has to offer.

In this video, Randy Alcorn shares about encouragement he's received through emails and stories.

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.

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)....

I believe Christ died for all people, Jew and Gentile (1 John 2:2) I believe He brought His salvation first to the Jews, then to the Gentiles (Romans 1:16).

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).

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.

To make one English version THE version by which to compare all other versions is an error in thinking.
