Are Christians Supposed To Be Happy All The Time?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "What does "who for the joy set before him endured the cross mean from Hebrews 12?" I have heard Christians use this and other verses about joy to say we need to be happy all the time. But that is just not what I feel.

The Sea Will Be No More?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Revelation 21:1 speaks about a new heaven and a new earth, and the sea was no more. This has always puzzled me. I keep in mind Noah and the flood. And in Romans 8:22 where the earth groans from sin. The thought came to me as to why the 'sea will be no more.' Is it because the ocean is a reminder of man's sin and the penalty of the flood? My question is more of 'Biblical curiosity.' I do not fear the future for I know my Redeemer and He lives in me and I am SEALED, praise God. Thank you for your ministry, and keep on keeping on, God bless. Howard”
