article October 16, 2020

I recently wrote this to a dying friend, but I’m replacing her name with “dying believer.” The reality is, I am dying and every person reading this is too.

God Our Primary Pleasure (Day 4, 50 Days of Heaven Devotional)

article July 14, 2020

In what form will we be when we see God? Will we be ghostly spirits, floating about? No, we will be resurrected human beings, standing and kneeling, walking and talking, praying and worshiping and laughing, eating and drinking in our new bodies. As Job cried out, “After my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.”

When Will the Believer’s Judgment of Works Happen?

article June 26, 2020

What Are My Loved Ones Experiencing in the Present Heaven?

article June 3, 2020

Though the present Heaven is not our final destination, it’s a wonderful place, and it’s understandable that those who have had loved ones die in Christ wonder what life is like for them there. Based on the Bible’s teaching, we know several things.
