When Paul uses the term spiritual body, he is not talking about a body made of spirit, or a nonphysical body—there is no such thing. A body, by definition, is physical—flesh and bones. The word spiritual here is an adjective that describes the body; it doesn’t negate its meaning.

I believe, based on what I know about God and His character and the nature of the New Earth (the forever Heaven which will come after our resurrection), that if both you and your mom were Jesus followers here, your focus will not be on whatever happened between you but will be on the One who died to have an uninterrupted relationship with you.

To overcome stress you must either change your circumstances or your perceptions. You can change some circumstances, of course, but many you cannot.

Our ministry’s main concern is that we’re on shaky ground when we begin basing our doctrine or beliefs about Heaven on the subjective experiences of other people (especially when these stories have often ended up marketed in books).

Believers periodically tell me versions of the following: “We shouldn’t be thinking about reunion with loved ones, or the joys of Heaven. We should only be thinking about being united with Christ, who is our only treasure.” This sounds spiritual, but is it?

Can you imagine anyone saying on his or her deathbed, “I wish I’d bought more stuff”? If we truly understood both the present and the eternal results of giving, we’d never hesitate or wonder whether it’s worthwhile to give now.

God bless you for your desire to be generous and to honor the Lord with your finances. Here are some resources from our website that might help you as you pray and seek God’s wisdom about this.

In this clip from his conversation on The Remnant Radio, Randy shares his thoughts about if we will eat meat on the New Earth. He also addresses the question about whether if there are realities that Scripture reveals about the age to come, should we try to apply them to life on the earth right now?

In this clip from his conversation on The Remnant Radio, Randy talks about the intelligence of animals and the possibility that they may talk on the New Earth.

We delude ourselves when we think we have ultimate control over our lives. It often comes down to this: what we really want is to make our own plans and do our own thing. We don’t want anyone, including God, to impose His plans on us.

Your concern for others is commendable. You can be at peace knowing that once you have placed your faith in Jesus and His work on the cross and in resurrection on your behalf, your actions cannot “jeopardize” His covenant with you.

When I’ve been snorkeling, I often think how incredible it is to get a glimpse of all the things God governs that go on in the universe, 99.99999% of which we never see or think about!

God says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). He uses our sense of human weakness and inadequacy not only to build our character, but also to manifest His strength and grace to us and through us.

You have two choices: you can trust His written Word that promises He will never leave you (and is, therefore, right where He always is…next to you, listening and loving). Or you can choose to turn your back on those promises and lean on your feelings instead.
