How Do I Deal with My Shattered Faith When I Feel Like God Didn’t Come through on Healing My Loved One?

article - Doreen Button

You have two choices: you can trust His written Word that promises He will never leave you (and is, therefore, right where He always is…next to you, listening and loving). Or you can choose to turn your back on those promises and lean on your feelings instead.

How Do I Share about Heaven with My Adult Children Who Don’t Follow Him?

article - Doreen Button

We can’t know what responses people will give to our offer of God’s abundant life, though we can (and it sounds like you do) spend time praying for the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts and to give us the right words and opportunities.

How Can I Find Peace When My Life Has Been Terrible, and I’m Afraid of Dying and Going to Hell?

article - Doreen Button

You’ve been through a lot of stuff, and searching for relief from the pain is totally understandable. The difficulty comes when you search in the wrong places. There isn’t a human on this planet who can remove your pain—not even you, because if you think about it, trading this life for a life in Hell means your pain is multiplied throughout eternity.

What Are Your Thoughts on Adoption, Especially by Those Who Will Be Older Parents?

article - Doreen Button

Our ministry isn’t equipped to provide counseling in the traditional sense; however, I can say that God seems to be fond of adoption. Read Romans 8 and Ephesians 1. We are all “adopted” into God’s family when we surrender to Him as our Father.

Do Those in the Present Heaven Experience Time as They Wait for Their Loved Ones to Join Them?

article - Doreen Button

How much “time” elapses or how the dead experience any delays while waiting in the current, temporary Heaven is anybody’s guess. Scripture tells us everything we need to know for now and God will reveal as much more as He cares to when the right time comes.

Did God Hear My Prayer to Allow My Mom in Heaven to Comfort Me?

article - Doreen Button

If your mom loved Jesus, she is with Him right now and if you love Jesus, the two (three counting your Father) will be together again when all His followers are united once and for all on the New Earth. Be patient; spend time thanking God for the years you had with your mom, and for the opportunities to serve Him by serving her.

Why Did God Decide to Create Me? When I Feel Useless, What Purpose Does He Have for Me?

article - Doreen Button

Our culture tells us that we have to constantly be doing, and the more people see us doing, the better. If we haven’t checked off dozens of to-do boxes each day, we’re not worthwhile. God doesn’t see things that way.

How Can the Bible Be Inerrant When There are Apparent Differences between Biblical Descriptions and Modern Scientific Knowledge?

article - Doreen Button

The Bible must be read as it was intended. There are so many different types of writing—historical narratives, apocalyptic (revelatory), wisdom literature, etc. Its cohesiveness is supernatural…no other book even comes close. From beginning to end it’s the story of God’s unending effort to bring humans back into relationship with Him.

Are There Eternal Consequences for Sin on the Resurrection Bodies of the Redeemed?

article - Doreen Button

The more you know Scripture, the easier it will be for you to spot when something you hear or read doesn’t match up with Truth.

If There Is No Condemnation in Jesus, Why Is There a Real Danger of Going to Hell in Matthew 7:21-23?

article - Doreen Button

To understand the message of Matthew 7:21-23, again it’s critical to look at the whole passage and consider who Jesus is talking to and about.
