In this clip from a conversation with Jay Rudolph on The Plumb Line Radio Show, Randy explains that God is the only way to get to Heaven. He points to John 14:6, where Jesus says that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him.

If we don’t fear God, we have good reason to be afraid of other things. You fear God when you come to grips with the fact that He is in charge, and you are not. As Spurgeon put it, He is the sovereign help of our souls.

Back in 2009, I was asked to be on a panel on Heaven and Hell at a book conference. When I asked who else would be on the panel, they mentioned J. I. Packer, and my response was, “I will do it as long as I can sit next to Dr. Packer.” (The organizers kindly accommodated my request!)

In my last blog, I shared six false expectations that can diminish our happiness. So what truths should raise our expectations of happiness? Here are seven worth focusing on.

Most people intuitively know that our expectations profoundly affect our life experiences. Yet even as believers, we simultaneously expect too much and too little. We need to discover what we should expect less of and what merits higher expectations.

One day all Heaven will attend the ultimate wedding, and we will be Christ's bride (see Revelation 19:7-9). However, I do envision that people who’ve had important roles in each other’s lives will continue to be friends—and that would include a lot of people who’ve been married.

I think He will always intercede for us because He loves us, and because even though we will not always be sinners, we will always be His finite creatures. To be finite is to be needy, even if one is morally perfect.

Az alatt a több mint négy év alatt, amíg szeretett feleségem, Nanci a rákkal küzdött, számos jó és rossz leletet kaptunk. A három műtétje, a három sugárkezelés és a három kemoterápiás kezelés során, egy érzelmi hullámvasúton voltunk.

चार वर्ष से भी अधिक समय तक मेरी प्रिय पत्नी नैन्सी ने कैंसर का सामना किया, उसकी रिपोर्टों में बहुत सी अच्छी थीं, और बहुत सी बुरी भी थीं। हमने उसके तीन ऑपरेशनों, तीन रेडिएशन प्रक्रियाओं, और तीन कीमोथेरेपी पक्रियाओं के दौरान भावनाओं के भारी उतार-चढ़ावों का अनुभव किया।
