Heaven Won’t Be Boring
from Randy Alcorn Apr 19, 2013 Category: Articles
The heaven Jesus described is not an ethereal realm of disembodied spirits. A place is by nature physical, just as human beings are by nature physical as well as spiritual. What we are suited for — what we've been specifically designed for — is the place God originally made for us: earth.

This, I suspect, is what tempts some to try to tweak the church's historic view on hell, including everyone from John Stott to Rob Bell. Keep Reading -

from R.C. Sproul Apr 08, 2013 Category: Articles
One of the most dramatic moments in my life for the shaping of my theology took place in a seminary classroom. One of my professors went to the blackboard and wrote these words in bold letters: "Regeneration Precedes Faith."
