One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is freedom from materialism. How? By teaching them to be generous givers who know everything belongs not to them, but to God. 

Our hearts are broken for the people of Israel who have endured such great atrocities inflicted upon women and children and the elderly, slaughtered mercilessly. I also pray for those who seek peace, including believers in Jesus in Gaza.

Randy Alcorn spoke to a group of middle school and high school students at Cornerstone youth group in Gresham, Oregon. He shares how ultimate happiness can only be found in Jesus, who calls us His friends. He and the students discuss Heaven, which is defined as where God’s throne is; and how one day Heaven and Earth will be reunited and Jesus will reign forever over a redeemed earth. Randy also answers many thoughtful questions from the students.
