I respect friends who hold to the gap theory and day age and the variants, and appreciate their insistence on inspiration. Yet when I listen to Hugh Ross and others, including Walter Kaiser, I’m still left feeling it’s obvious that no one would ever have come up with such interpretations except to solve a problem. And how many problems of one era disappeared on their own, only to leave believers with a strange biblical interpretation the text doesn’t and never did support?

Let me start with what Heaven won’t be: boring. It is not a place where we will be ghosts or angels endlessly floating around on clouds, strumming harps, and wishing we’d brought a magazine.

Question from a reader: My husband is in the military and we will be attending the base chapel.  I understand we should tithe to our local church but the military pays for the chapel's needs and salaries so I am wondering where we should send our tithe money? Some of our military friends send it to non-profit organizations such as Campus Crusade or Cadence International.

This month's giveaway is a double feature: three randomly-drawn winners will receive a fiction book of their choice, and a fiction book of their choice to give as an outreach or share with a friend! 

Best-selling author Randy Alcorn tackles the topic of suffering in his new book, If God Is Good. He attempts to explain why God, if He is indeed good, allows people to suffer. Understandably, Alcorn takes his time to dig deeply into the subject, delivering a book of more than 500 pages. We recently spoke with the author, who also directs Eternal Perspective Ministries, about his view of suffering and what the subject reveals about God.

These studies say nothing about the COC (BCP) about which Randy Alcorn and I have written. They speak only to Emergency Birth Control (euphemistically called Emergency Contraception).

Question from a reader: I've spoken to many long-term missionaries who have surprised me with their opinion about the effectiveness of short-term missions.  We spend a tremendous amount of money on “missionary tourism” in America, often to the detriment of long-term support.  What are your thoughts on short-term missions?

What follows is a spot-on article by Kevin DeYoung, a pastor and writer. While it was written after the flap about Brit Hume, making that aspect of it dated, it is timeless at its core, and I just “happened” upon it (in the providence of God).

For those interested in pursuing adoption of Haitian orphans, we want to share a few important thoughts regarding this desire. 

These audio files are from Randy Alcorn's graduate-level class The Theology of Money, which explores the biblical doctrine of money and possessions, with special emphasis on using them to have an impact on eternity. 

Randy Alcorn’s If God Is Good: Faith in the Midst of Suffering and Evil (Multnomah, 2009) responds to the atheistic claim that the existence of evil negates Christian proclamation of God’s total sovereignty plus total goodness: If He’s really in charge, He’s a sadist. 

My wife Nanci showed me this dog video. If you love dogs like we do, you’ll love this. Makes me smile and thank God for the wonders of His creation. 

I’m a young married man and am presently separated from my wife because of pornography addiction.  I’m a tech guy and find it difficult to deal with all the temptations that are so easily accessible. Is there any hope for me to be reunited with my wife?
