What About Cremating Pets?

By Randy Alcorn September 15, 2020

Question from a reader:

I’ve heard you talk about animals and Heaven, and the possibility of our pets being there. So do you think we should cremate our pets? I know nothing is impossible for God, but what if there’s no body to resurrect?

Comment devrais-je aborder le Christ avec mes parents non sauvés d'une manière aimante mais convaincante? (How Should I Approach Unsaved Parents About Christ in a Loving but Convicting Way?)

By Randy Alcorn August 12, 2020

Un lecteur nous interpelle : Mes deux parents sont de bonnes personnes, mais aucun d’eux n’a accepté Christ. De plus, ils sont sceptiques en ce qui concerne la religion organisée.

Pouvez-vous me suggérer la meilleure manière d'aborder le Christ avec mes parents non sauvés d'une manière aimante mais convaincante?

Plus jamais d'ennui. (No More Boredom)

By Randy Alcorn August 11, 2020

Malheureusement, cette idée que le Paradis sera ennuyeux est répandue, même parmi les chrétiens. Parfois, nous ne parvenons pas à imaginer que nous ferons bien plus que jouer de la harpe et polir des rues pavées d'or. Nous avons succombé aux stratagèmes de Satan qui nous pousse à « proférer des blasphèmes contre Dieu, pour insulter son nom et son tabernacle, ceux qui habitent dans le ciel. » (Apocalypse 13:6 Traduction Segond 21)

Aren’t Those Who Are Pro-Life Actually Just Pro-Birth, Anti-Life, Anti-Happiness, and Pro-Child Abuse?

You bring up a lot of Scriptures and each one deserves a thoughtful response. I will do my best to do so. That said, the Bible is a book, and like any other book, its sentences need to be read in context to understand what the author is communicating. I believe that is the main issue with the verses you cited.

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

By Randy Alcorn 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?

By Randy Alcorn June 26, 2020

When believers die and go to the present Heaven in the presence of God, do they face any kind of judgment of works at that point, or does all judgment come at the resurrection?

Why Does Jesus Have Scars on His Resurrection Body? Will They Be Permanent?

By Randy Alcorn June 18, 2020

I believe Jesus will always have those scars on His hands and feet. In Revelation, in His glorified body, He is repeatedly called the lamb who has been slain. The continuity between His risen body and His glorified body once He ascended to Heaven seems to be there.
