Question from a reader: The New Earth is going to be so amazing, wonderful, beautiful, breath-taking, tangible, relational, joy-filled (the list goes on and on) and is also void of pain, suffering, death, sin, and grief. In light of all that, how much will rewards really matter?

Minor characters come quickly, usually, as they may have only a few distinguishable features. You usually don’t need to develop them too much, though you can certainly make them memorable.

We all have heard about the global problem of street children, but just how serious is the problem? What do the experts say?

If you want to increase your desire for God, then get to know him in a deeper way.

All joy he had known on earth was like drinking from the contaminated lower waters, far from the source of the stream. Now he was drinking from the Source itself, the fountain-head of Joy. This world was so bright and overwhelming he felt it would have blinded and ripped his earthly body to shreds.
