  The Question That Determines Eternity Can God condemn a man to hell, burn him there forever, and justify Himself in doing so? This question has troubled the hearts of many people. Some reject the idea entirely, believing a loving God could never allow such a thing. Others dismiss the subject altogether and choose not to think about eternity. But here is the reality: what a person believes outside of the truth of Scripture carries no weight in eternity . Our opinions, philosophies, and personal beliefs will not determine what happens after death. Only God’s truth will. The Bible consistently teaches that God is both perfectly loving and perfectly just . Hell is not presented as a place God delights in sending people, but as the ultimate consequence of rejecting Him and the salvation He offers through Jesus Christ. The sobering truth is that eternity does not hinge on our feelings about God—it hinges on whether we accept or reject the one name given for salvation: Jesus Christ . So...

  Question of the Week 📌 March 12, 2026 From: Kendall, 15 — Nome, Alaska Question: Hi Pastor James. I’m Kendall, and I have a question. If God is good, why does He allow suffering? My grandparents died last year, and it hurts every time I think about them. Why didn’t God spare their lives, or at least delay their deaths until I was older? I’m really confused right now and could use some sound advice. Response: Hi Kendall. Thank you for asking a question that many people—young and old—quietly carry in their hearts. When we experience loss, it can feel overwhelming because we see life through the lens of the present moment. God, however, sees life through the lens of eternity. What feels sudden and painful to us is not outside His understanding or His care. Suffering is one of the most difficult realities of life, yet throughout Scripture we see that God often uses it to shape hearts, deepen faith, and draw people closer to Him. Pain has a way of stripping away our sense of cont...

  🌿 Daily Encouragement — March 12, 2026 🌿 Faithfulness in Every Season 📖 “Now King David was old, advanced in years; and they put covers on him, but he could not get warm.” — 1 Kings 1:1 As David’s life draws to a close in this verse, we see a powerful reminder of the journey of life. The young shepherd who once stood boldly before Goliath, the warrior-king who led Israel through victories and trials, is now old and frail. Time has touched him as it touches us all. David’s life was not perfect. It was filled with triumphs, failures, repentance, courage, and moments of deep dependence upon God. Yet through every season—strength and weakness, youth and age—one truth remained constant: God was faithful. The same God who stood with David in the valley facing Goliath was with him in the quiet, fragile moments of his final days. God’s presence did not diminish with David’s strength. His faithfulness did not fade with age. This passage reminds us that every season of life matters. Wh...
