Are the gates of the Holy City in Revelation 21 and 22 the demarcation line between two different groups of people?

You are correct to observe that often the imagery of being in or outside of a city wall means the difference between being in relationship or not. In the Gospels, study out "cast into outer darkness" and what that means, in regard to the walls and gates of a walled city. And look just how big the walls of this city are! The city is secure from the evil ones.

Philippians 2:9-10 says that every knee will bow to Christ. When will that happen?

In verse 9 it says God "exalted and gave" a name. The Greek tense is what is called an aorist, in the indicative mood, "past time, in a point of time". So this verse says God has already given and exalted with the name.

In verse 10 it says, God gave and exalted this name, "for the purpose of/for the result that" every knee should bow. The verb "should bow" does not have any time element (it’s in what is called the Subjunctive mood). The action is one of a summary. Has the purpose been yet fulfilled for ...

healing, revelation

In Revelation 21 and 22 it refers to healing of the saints. Will we need healing in Heaven?

Revelation 21:4: I do not think this is referring to the healing of saints. To me, it is a great summary statement: the power of death and suffering is now over (1Co 15:54)—finally Death is swallowed up in victory! The shortest verse of the NT, "Jesus wept" is found in John 11. He was to be sure weeping for his friend Lazarus, but also I think for death itself and its power over creation. In Rev. 21:4 now the curse, the Fall and its effects are over. And now God Himself will wipe every tear! And ...

What book would you recommend to witness to an agnostic friend?

Question from a reader:

I work with an agnostic. I've shared my faith with her in a very nonconfrontational way for two years now. She's very quick to shoosh me, so I witness more in the gift of mercy and hospitality and less in prophet! Do you have a recommendation for a book that I could give her? She loves history and has a very inquisitive mind. She asks me questions quite often about the Christian "religion." She always has an audio book going in her car and at her desk, so audio would be ideal.

Are you violating Matthew 18 if you publically disagree with a fellow Christian?

Question from a reader:

Are you violating Matthew 18 if you publically disagree with a fellow Christian? For example, if you are referencing a book that you disagree with?

Answer from Randy Alcorn:

Matthew 18 says “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone”? If someone disagrees with something I’ve written, I certainly don’t view him as having sinned against me. Does the person with the opposing view think that I have sinned against him? If so, then we would definitely need to talk. My belief is that whenever ...

What is the most impactful thing a Christian can do to break the cycle of abortion?

First, make yourself aware of the need that unplanned pregnancy and abortion creates. When you give your time to learn about abortion, abstinence, adoption, and caring for needy women, you can pray for divine appointments where God can use you to make a difference in people’s lives.

Q&A: Supporting Pregnancy Resource Centers

These questions are excerpted from an interview with Larry Gadbaugh, CEO of Portland (Oregon) Pregnancy Resource Center.

You were a busy pastor back in 1984. Why did you get involved in helping a pregnancy resource center get established in Portland?

God was preparing Nanci and me back in 1980. We opened our home to a pregnant teenager who previously had a late-term saline abortion. She lived with us almost a year, had her baby and placed him up for adoption.
