I believe Scripture clearly suggests our loved ones now in Heaven are witnessing, in at least some capacity, God’s unfolding plan on earth. They live in a place where joy is the air they breathe, and nothing they see on earth can diminish their joy. Their happiness doesn’t depend on ignorance, but perspective, drawn from the Christ in whose presence they live.

COVID and the resulting economic devastation have taken a horrible toll on many poorer countries around the world. The following report from my friend Kurt Nelson with East-West Ministries, about a country in the Caribbean (specific name withheld for security reasons), is just heartbreaking. 

In this minute and a half clip, Randy talks about how our culture has so distorted the necessity of the role of men and the importance of making the most of the time God has given us in this life.

My advice to young people, and to people of all ages, is this same thing: “Choose your friends wisely.” Don’t just let friendships happen by circumstance. Make them happen by choice—careful, thoughtful choice.

The following excerpt from my novel Dominion is a fictional depiction of listening to good officers and understanding the difficulties and pressures they face. Here the main character Clarence, a black journalist, has a discussion with Detective Ollie Chandler. 

تاہم ، صرف اس وجہ سے کہ ہمیں تکلیف کی کوئی وجہ نظر نہیں آتی اس سے یہ ثابت نہیں ہوتا ہے کہ واقعی کوئ وجہ نہیں ہے۔

Deus jamais nos prometeu que a vida cristã seria tranquila ou fácil. Na verdade, Ele promete o contrário: "Ora, todos quantos querem viver piedosamente em Cristo Jesus serão perseguidos." (2Tm 3.12). Não devemos nos surpreender quando enfrentamos grandes dificuldades (ver 1Pe 4.12).

Pais (e muito disso se aplica às mães também), se você já estāo passando bastante tempo com seus filhos, por todos os meios se concentre na qualidade. Mas se não estiver passando tempo suficiente com seus filhos, ou se estiver sendo constantemente desviado por distrações, não tente compensar fazendo do seu escasso tempo, "tempo de qualidade". 

许多年来，我常常收到信徒的信息，大概内容会说：「我无法原谅自己过去犯过的罪。我已经求基督的饶恕无数次，但是我却还是感到罪恶感，然后无法接受上帝的赦免。」
