Christian Life

One of our pastors at Good Shepherd Community Church, Jerayl DeVelvis, quoted from the following article, by Courtney Doctor, in an outstanding sermon this past weekend. It so resonated with both of us that I looked it up and Nanci and I read the whole article. It captured our own thoughts and feelings more than nearly anything we’ve read. 

In 2021 Randy was interviewed on The Call to Mastery podcast with Jordan Raynor. In their conversation, which centers around Randy's book Heaven, they discuss the difference between Heaven and the New Earth, how to prioritize your time, hope in the midst of cancer and more.

These are some great thoughts from Puritan Samuel Annesley (c. 1620-1696) on how we can find spiritual rest.

When I receive critical comments online or in response to my books, and when someone talks to me personally about their disagreements, I ask God to point out to me any truth they may contain. People are certainly correct that I’m very flawed. No one is more aware of this than I am.

It's important to remember there is a big distinction between animals and people, even when it comes to euthanasia. Human beings are uniquely made in God’s image and although animals are a beloved creation, they are not.
