Question from a reader: Is it normal to be afraid to go to Heaven? I've been wrestling with this the last couple of years. I'm 16 now but I would like to deal with the issue before I pass away.

A common argument against Christian moral positions that are increasingly unpopular: "Get your head out of the sand; look around and see where things are clearly headed!"

In this interview, Randy and Nanci recall God’s faithfulness to their family and to this ministry in the years since EPM was founded.

Most of us see no further than the horizons of this world. To correct our shortsightedness, God prescribes a vision correction that allows us to look through the lens of eternity. 

Earthly marriage is a gift from God. It’s also a shadow, a copy, an echo of the true and ultimate marriage between Christ and His bride. In her latest video, Julia Stager shares some great thoughts on how the Bible presents marriage, from beginning to end.

We'd actually planned the discussion prior to the Charleston church murder of nine people at their Wednesday evening Bible study (we began by talking about this tragedy).

In this three-minute video, I talk about the artificial distinction made by many Bible-believing Christians between happiness and joy. (I address this in my book Happiness, which will release this October.)
