God is the Father of this family we enjoy. We rightly sense that our relationship with them has not been terminated, only interrupted, and we know that some day each of us will be taken from this world, in one moment separated from some we love and in the same moment reunited with others we love, and above all with our Lord.

It is the intermediate hell that is cast into the lake of fire.(Rev. 20:14)

So, I shouldn’t be bragging about my Bible study or prayer or evangelism or parenting or giving, but I shouldn’t be covering it up either.

It is talking about the present Heaven, apparently, since the New Earth comes on the scene after the final judgment, and Revelation isn’t about the New Earth until Revelation 21-22. However, some aspects of the present Heaven may be shared by the future post-resurrection Heaven.

Though we mourn, our mourning should be mixed with worship of God and thanksgiving for the life of the loved one who has died.

Randy Alcorn speaking at The Seed Company Invitational 2007 about how we are created by God to do good works in Christ Jesus.

So we will not be complete, fully perfected human beings until our sinless spirit is joined to a body no longer under the curse in the resurrection.

When it comes to our money and resources, what Randy is trying to communicate is to be open to the needs of the people today (the poor, the hungry and needy)....

To make one English version THE version by which to compare all other versions is an error in thinking.

Note that Paul didn’t say, “Command those who are rich to stop being rich.” The implication is that there is legitimate diversity in the amount of money and possessions held by Christians. Most early Christians weren’t people of high social standing (see 1 Corinthians 1:26-29).

The ESV was much more thoroughly debated and uses a little better underlying New Testament Greek text.

While we do not regard ourselves a charismatic church, we do not wish to be known as “anti-charismatic.” What we do insist upon is a spirit of love and unity, the total sufficiency of Christ, and the final authority of the Scriptures.
