Will We Still Have Our Chronic Illnesses, Such as Diabetes, with Us in Heaven?

If you are a believer in Christ, once you leave this life in death or at Christ’s return, you will never suffer from the curse, death or suffering or any disease, including diabetes.

Where's the Line Between Discernment and Lack of Faith in Miracles?

article - Randy Alcorn

This is a dilemma, and I think we should ask God to give us faith to believe Him, and skeptical only of some people’s claims, but not of God’s power or the fact that He sometimes miraculously intervenes. We need discernment, but not skepticism and certainly not cynicism.

Will We Have to Wait Our Turn to Be with God in Heaven?

article - Kathy Norquist

Why Does Focus on the Family Take a Stand Against Emergency Contraception (EC) but Not the Birth Control Pill (BCP)?

The point is where the New Jerusalem is located. It is brought down to the New Earth and is the capital city of the New Earth.

Where Do People Get Their Theological Beliefs?

Our theology tends to come from whatever we trust.

Where Did You Get the Ideas for the "Chair of Honor" and the Reverence for the Bible Box in Safely Home?

article - Randy Alcorn

The box was based upon an experience a friend of mine had in Moscow back in 1990 where they were passing out free Bibles to people.

Where in Scripture Are We Reassured That We Will Have the Comfort of Making up Lost Time with Loved Ones in Eternity?

article - Randy Alcorn

First Thessalonians 4 says we are to “comfort one another with these words” about being together with the Lord forever. So clearly we will be spending eternity with our loved ones.

Where Do You Stand on the Calvinism and Arminianism Debate, and What Resources Do You Recommend?
