In this clip from a conversation with Jay Rudolph on The Plumb Line Radio Show, Randy talks about the things we will do on the New Earth.

You’ve been through a lot of stuff, and searching for relief from the pain is totally understandable. The difficulty comes when you search in the wrong places. There isn’t a human on this planet who can remove your pain—not even you, because if you think about it, trading this life for a life in Hell means your pain is multiplied throughout eternity.

As Paul tells us, though we naturally grieve at losing Christian loved ones, we are not to “grieve like people who have no hope” (1 Thessalonians 4:13). Our parting is not the end of our relationship, only an interruption. We have not “lost” them, because we know where they are.

In this clip from a conversation with Jay Rudolph on The Plumb Line Radio Show, Randy explains why he does not believe purgatory is a biblical concept.

I read comments from someone who thought they had the gift of discernment and lamented that no one talks much about this spiritual gift. I agree that it’s often avoided. This might be in part because it is a sensitive subject to address with those who feel they have this gift.

Just as you can take verses out of the Bible and argue for universalism, so you could take various things I say to argue for it, but then you have to look at the whole body of the argumentation.

Sometimes we make the foolish assumption that our heavenly Father has no right to insist that we trust Him unless He makes His infinite wisdom completely understandable to us. But if God offered us constant explanations for the circumstances we face, our lives would not be free or normal, and would not allow for faith or trust.

Carrying the burden of guilt for this decision, which was made as part of stewarding your pet, can keep you from experiencing the abundant life God has for you. We should experience guilt for sinful choices (and even then, we are to take our guilt to Jesus so we can experience His forgiveness and peace). However, your choice was not a sinful one.
