Whether at home or in the wild, animals bring comfort, joy, fascination, and wonder into our lives. It’s only natural, then, to hope the animals we cherish so much on Earth will someday live with us again. For generations, however, many pastors and scholars have dismissed this idea, believing that Scripture is silent on the matter. And while countless pet-lovers cling to the hope that animals will be in Heaven, their belief is often rooted more in sentiment than in solid biblical teaching. Not anymore. Randy Alcorn, noted Bible scholar and bestselling author of Heaven, join us to offer a comprehensive, Scripture-based theology of animals and a paradigm-shifting vision of God’s restorative plan for all His creatures―from Eden to the New Earth. Don’t miss this fascinating conversation.
The battle is real. We can all sense it but do we really understand what is happening in the “heavenlies” when it comes to spiritual warfare? Dr. Karl Payne will join us to take your questions on spiritual warfare. Learn to separate truth from fiction when it comes to the unseen battle being waged all around us. Call in early because the phone lines will light up.
