Question from a reader: Many people say there is only one way to Heaven by accepting Jesus Christ as personal Savior, but then they default to several other ways (young age, mental illness, being born in Israel, keeping sacrificial requirements of the law) and make excuses when cornered. Is believing in Jesus really the ONLY way?

Is God sovereign only when I get my way, or is He always sovereign? The God who’s sovereign in small things also controls the big ones.

Before creatures ever came into the equation, what was God like? His basic persona and His character, that’s who He is. 

First, we need to define sin nature. The “nature” of a person or object is commonly thought of as its essential qualities or attributes; that which makes it what it is. 

Question from a reader: If the penalty of sin is eternal conscious physical torment, wouldn’t Christ have to still be suffering today in order to pay the debt? 

Randy speaks as a guest on the Chris Fabry Live radio show (August 15, 2013) about visit-to-heaven books. He shares about Dr. Eben Alexander's popular book Proof of Heaven and explains why he believes every near-death (or supposed “after-death”) experience must be evaluated in light of God’s Word.

Immutability, referring to God, means He does not change. He never changes. 

Dr. Eben Alexander’s Proof of Heaven has now been on the New York Times Bestseller List for 41 weeks and is estimated to have sold over two million copies.
