Already, But Not Yet

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2022

Who Will Inherit The Kingdom Of God?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 2, 2025

Many people seem to have the hope or feeling that when someone dies, death will somehow make a transformation in that person. Even though he or she was a scoundrel in life, they comfort themselves by acting as if that person will end up in heaven with God for all eternity.
