What Is Your Stance on Women in Leadership?

The two dominant positions on women in leadership are evangelical feminism or egalitarianism (equal and therefore the same) and complementarianism (equal but different). There is also the globally widespread position of Islam and others, in which women are seen as both different AND unequal.

What Do You Look Forward to When You First Enter Heaven?

article - Randy Alcorn

I think about Heaven a lot. Peter tells us, “you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:11). God is the main welcomer, no doubt, but I think there will be a welcoming committee.

What Can You Tell Us About the End Times?

article - Randy Alcorn

What disturbs me is what I see in the large segments of the Christian community who are embracing all the justice issues that are popular in the world and promoted by rock stars and Hollywood (and I am very GRATEFUL these celebrities are using their influence in this way).

How Do I Deal with the Pain and Suffering of Animals I Love?

You are very right about the extent of devastation brought on the entire earth due to the curse. The amount of pain in the world is terrifying, but that pain is bearable when we remember God's ultimate plan for redemption and restoration.

Can New Age Music Bring an Evil Presence?

article - Julia (Stager) Mayo

Question from a reader: I’ve been listening to instrumental New Age music at night when I fall asleep. A couple of different nights I have woken up, with the music still playing, with a huge sense of terror, afraid I was going to die.

If every player on one team were an atheist and everyone on the other loved Jesus, I would never assume that the team with the believers would win. :)

Do You Think Loss of Rewards in Heaven Will Be Permanent?

Loss implies comparison, and something “bad” in Heaven. Do you think that such loss is permanent? Or might there be opportunity to work past the "loss" and improve one's lot?
