Our grandson Jake got married to Richie in Phoenix on June 20, the first of our five grandsons to get married. Getting to know Richie, and gaining a granddaughter has been delightful! Their wedding was beautiful and wonderful.

Pedro, uno de los doce apóstoles de Jesús, escribió sobre lo que sucederá algún día: «Los cielos desaparecerán con un terrible estruendo, y los mismos elementos se consumirán en el fuego, y la tierra con todo lo que hay en ella quedará sometida a juicio» (2 Pedro 3:10). Algunos teólogos piensan que la tierra será totalmente destruida y que se creará una nueva desde cero. Pero la Biblia enseña que, aunque la tierra será destruida, también será restaurada. Dios transformará los restos de la tierra vieja en una tierra nueva que será mucho mejor.

Doi specialiști în domeniul eticii au scris un articol pentru publicația Journal of Medical Ethics, susținând că medicilor ar trebui să li se permită să avorteze bebelușii nou-născuți, pentru că aceștia „nu sunt persoane”. Ei au afirmat că, atunci când „apar după naștere circumstanțe de felul celor care ar fi justificat avortul, ceea ce numim avort postnatal ar trebui să fie permis.” Autorii au recunoscut că „atât un fetus, cât și un nou-născut sunt ființe umane și persoane potențiale”, dar au susținut că „niciunul nu este «persoană» în sensul de «subiect cu dreptul moral la viață».”

Randy has a conversation with Dr. Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church about Heaven. They discuss many common questions about what Heaven will be like, and Randy shares how anticipation for eternity should be the reference point by which we live now.

Headlines from the Middle East, and specifically the Israel-Iran conflict, have dominated the news lately. Here are some insights about believers in Israel and Iran that can help you know how to pray.

I believe this person’s comments are right on target: “I think…that Satan is the ultimate egomaniac. That being the case, he might overestimate his ‘power’ (which is clearly under God’s control).” Let’s look at some Scripture that supports this conclusion.
