Balancing Effort and Divine Support in Faith

Greg answers questions about what Revelation 21:8 means when it says the cowardly will be judged, gardening someone who isn’t open to the truth, officiating the wedding of people remarrying each other, other life in the universe, and the rapture.   Topics:

1. Given that Revelation 21:8 says the cowardly will be judged, what dangers are we required to face courageously or be judged? (03:00)
2. How do I garden somebody who doesn’t seem open to the truth? (15:00)
3. What would you say while officiating the wedding of two people who divorced, reconciled, and are remarrying? (29:00)
4. Do you think the universe is ever-expanding, and do you think there are other life forms out there that aren’t described in the biblical narrative? (35:00)
5. When it comes to your view on the rapture, what do you do with the language of 1 Thessalonians 4:17 when it talks about being “caught up”? (46:00)
