I love the apostle Paul, I love his God-breathed words in Scripture, and I love what he understood and said about suffering. And I love John Piper too—so it was a no brainer to feature this excellent article.

I’ve been greatly encouraged by the responses to the little 60-page Heaven booklet, which contains a sampling of the questions and answers found in my Heaven book. 

In my novel Dominion, I picture one of the characters, Dani, who is in Heaven, learning about the history of the black church. It’s a rich history, one that I think we all should celebrate.

Have you and your family talked about the certainty of your deaths, and how that should impact your lives now? Not talking about death won’t postpone it a moment. Talking about death won’t bring it a moment sooner. But it will give us opportunity to be better prepared when it comes.

Los “lugares altos” es un término abreviado para los lugares de culto pagano, generalmente (aunque no siempre) en colinas o montañas para acercarlos a sus falsos dioses. Eran centros de idolatría.

The following is an excerpt from The Knowing Jesus Study Bible, edited by Edward Hindson and Ed Dobson. I hope this might encourage us to consider where at times we too might be like Peter, who attempted to fit Jesus within “the parameters of his own expectations.” 

I really appreciated this 20-minute interview about chronic pain with Dave Furman, a church planting pastor/missionary in Dubai and the author of Kiss the Wave: Embracing God in Your Trials. 

Over the years, I’ve been asked why I would quote from someone in my books or on social media when I don’t agree with them in every area. 

Today’s blog features an article by Whitney Woollard titled, “Delighting in Authority: How to Create a Culture of Happy Complementarians.” My daughter Angela passed it on to me, and it’s terrific.

One of my great joys is to see my books translated into languages around the world. To date, there have been translations in over seventy languages. I’m also fascinated by the titles the translators choose, wondering what exactly they mean to those who will read them.

Our intimate link with Christ in His redemptive work makes us inseparable from Him, even now. As we walk with Him and commune with Him in this world, we experience a faint foretaste of Heaven’s delights and wonders.

Question from a reader: After all the things done to the earth during the Tribulation, what is going to be left for Jesus to rule and reign over for 1,000 years? Revelation says a third of the rivers, a third of the oceans, a third of the animals, and a third of the earth itself will be destroyed. Are we going to spend the first 500 years cleaning everything up?

Rejoicing always in the Lord seems unrealistic at times. But we must remember that this rejoicing is centered not in a passing circumstance but in a constant reality—Christ. 

Does everything melt and the earth's matter is all broken down, then God resurrects the New Earth from those pieces? Or is it more like the flood, where everything is covered and “destroyed,” but the basic form is still there?
