In a recent episode of his podcast, Russell Moore discussed the question, “What Should You Say at an Unbeliever’s Funeral?” He gave a helpful answer for both those who attend such funerals, and those who conduct them.

Question from a reader: You make the case that those now in Heaven may be able to see what’s presently happening on earth, at least to some extent. Since those with the Lord are not omnipresent, what do you think determines what they see? Do they just observe things that God points out to them? Or things of specific interest to them? Do they have ability to observe whatever they want, including really bad and evil things?

Though as believers we know that Heaven awaits us after death, many of us still wonder about or fear the moment of death. What will it be like? Will it be frightening to experience the soul’s departure from the body?

Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Greg Laurie of Harvest Fellowship Church in Riverside, California on the subjects of Easter, money, happiness and living life now so that it echoes in eternity. In this clip, Randy talks about Heaven, how we can know we'll go to Heaven when we die and how we can be ready to meet God.

In April 2017, Randy Alcorn taught a course at Veritas Evangelical Seminary on the subject of eternal rewards. In this clip, he answers a question about our state after we die.

Before I started Eternal Perspective Ministries, I served as a pastor for 14 years. When I was in the ministry, I found myself spending a great deal of time ministering to dying people and comforting their families. People look to pastors for guidance, help, and perspective during difficult times of life.

On the one hand, the Bible calls death “the last enemy” (1 Corinthians 15:26). On the other hand, for the person whose faith and actions have prepared him for it, death is a deliverer, casting off the burdens of a hostile world and ushering him into the world for which he was made.

Francis Chan writes, "Death is not an easy thing to meditate on, but the wise person will think about death often."

Question from a reader: Is it normal to be afraid to go to Heaven? I've been wrestling with this the last couple of years. I'm 16 now but I would like to deal with the issue before I pass away.
