Randy Alcorn

Author Randy Alcorn answers the question of whether joy is something that belongs to Christians, and happiness is something that belongs to the world. 

On October 2, 2015, National Christian Foundation's Co-Founder Ron Blue, spoke with Randy on the subject of generosity at NCF's IMPACT 2015 event in Dallas, Texas. NCF filmed this event.

Randy Alcorn spoke on God bringing good out of hard situations at the Linger Conference held at Watermark Church in Dallas, Texas, on February 13-14, 2015. 

Who is God? Who is mankind? What is God like? Does God have a plan? Do even bad events serve God’s purposes? In light of the great number of young people who reject their faith, we must encourage our children to think through these questions.

Am I Promised Health, Wealth, and Ease if I am a Christian? from Randy Alcorn on Vimeo. Randy Alcorn spoke at his home church, Good Shepherd Community Church in Boring, Oregon, on June 20-21, 2015, on whether Christians are promised we won't suffer. He follows along with Tim Keller's book, "The Reason for God". For more information, please check out Randy's book If God Is Good.

"'Whoever walks in integrity walks securely' (Proverbs 10:9). The word 'integrity' is the key word in Proverbs 10:9. A secure walk is not a matter of clever politics but of personal integrity."

Consider Isaiah 52:7, which says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness.” Paul clearly refers to Isaiah 52:7 in Romans 10:15 as he references the gospel, demonstrating this “good news of happiness” is in fact nothing else but the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ.

All too often, as believers we don’t realize that the greatest kindness we can offer each other is the truth. Our job is not just to help each other feel good but to help each other be good. We often seem to think that our only options are to: 1) speak the truth hurtfully; or 2) say nothing in the name of grace. This is a lie.

Ollie is the viewpoint character, so he speaks from his perspective: “Why would anyone want to go to heaven? When my grandmother spoke about heaven, it was the last place I wanted to go. Who wants to be a ghost anyway?"
