How Can I Forgive Myself for Putting My Beloved Pet to Sleep?

article - Stephanie Anderson

Carrying the burden of guilt for this decision, which was made as part of stewarding your pet, can keep you from experiencing the abundant life God has for you. We should experience guilt for sinful choices (and even then, we are to take our guilt to Jesus so we can experience His forgiveness and peace). However, your choice was not a sinful one.

Can God Really Satisfy My Deepest Needs for Relationship and Fulfillment in Heaven?

article - Stephanie Anderson

It’s so easy for us to take what we know here in this present life, and think that what’s in Heaven will be a copy or derivative of our present experience. But it’s more accurate to view things like marriage now as a shadow of the true reality.

Isn’t the Idea of Our Loved Ones in Heaven Seeing Our Lives on Earth Creepy?

article - Stephanie Anderson

I can see what you’re saying about that almost sounding creepy. But that certainly isn’t what Randy is conveying. Here is what else he has written that I hope might help.

Does Jesus’s Promise to Make All Things New Not Include Fallen Angels and Unbelievers?

article - Stephanie Anderson

Writing about this verse, Randy says, “‘All things’ is broad and comprehensive (ESV, NASB, LSB, NCV). Of all things in Heaven and on Earth, absolutely nothing will be left out. All will be brought under the rule of Jesus (with the specific, designated exceptions of fallen angels and people who reject salvation in Christ).”

In Heaven, Will God Reveal to Us How He Answered Our Prayers While We Were Still on Earth?

article - Stephanie Anderson

Randy does think that on the New Earth, in the ages to came, we’ll learn how God answered our prayers. He writes: “We anticipate Heaven, where we’ll learn God’s breath-taking answers to our prayers, including many that seemed unheard and ignored.”

I’m Unhappy with My Present Appearance. Does That Mean I’ll Be Dissatisfied with My Resurrection Body?

article - Stephanie Anderson

As with so many other questions about Heaven, it’s good to be reminded that God has only good things ahead for His children. Everything broken will be healed in His presence, including our past hurts over insensitive comments, and our disappointments over our appearance and personality.

What Does It Mean That We’ll Still Be Finite in Heaven?

article - Stephanie Anderson

I think you might be confusing the word “mortal” with “finite.” We will no longer be mortal (subject to death) on the New Earth like we are presently. God’s gift of eternal life in Him means we will be immortal and live forever with Him.

Shouldn’t Prolife Advocates Be Concerned That Abortion Restrictions Keep Women Experiencing Miscarriage or an Ectopic Pregnancy from Getting Medically Necessary Treatment?

article - Stephanie Anderson

Treatment for a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy is NOT an abortion. It is very important that we use precise language when are talking about these subjects.

What Will Our Relationship in Heaven Be with People Who Weren’t Family or Close Friends?

article - Stephanie Anderson

Grief is always difficult, but it sounds like in this particular case, grief is also tricky because it’s a relationship that our society doesn’t have a clear label on for grieving. But God knows and see what’s hard—so give yourself permission to grieve this loss, bring that sadness to Jesus, and let Him speak His truth and love into it.

How Are Faith and Works Related When It Comes to Salvation?

article - Stephanie Anderson Randy's blog

Earlier this year, I shared Kevin DeYoung’s article Faith and Works: Does James Contradict Paul? on my blog. A reader wrote us with this question in response. My thanks to Stephanie Anderson, EPM staff, for her excellent response.
