For 35 years, Randy Alcorn, the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM), has largely focused his research and studies on the concept of a “greater life to come.” 

This may be to many readers one of the most surprising blogs I’ve ever written. And if you follow the links at the end to what I and others have said on this subject, you may be doubly surprised!

At the Christian Book Expo 2009, Randy Alcorn, Sam Storms, Don Piper and J.I. Packer had a panel discussion on Heaven and Hell. In this clip J.I. Packer reads from Randy's book "Heaven".

The news out of Texas has been so tragic, where the results of flash floods on July 4 have claimed more than 100 lives. There’s such heartbreak—I’ve been trying to imagine if it were one of our daughters now, and even more so when they were children.

I have the greatest admiration for Os Guinness, a brilliant author and social critic who’s written or edited more than 30 books. I was struck by this quote from a message that Os, now 83 years old, gave earlier this year about the need for cultural-spiritual renewal in the West.

Randy Alcorn had a conversation with Josh Lewis & Michael Rowntree on The Remnant Radio to discuss what Heaven will be like. He shares how, through studying Scripture, he discovered what God's Word says about Heaven and the New Earth. Randy also addresses what Scripture tells us about the experiences of believers and non-believers after death.

Physician assisted suicide is in the news again, with New York lawmakers passing the Medical Aid in Dying Act. Three decades ago, I joined others in expending a lot of time and effort to oppose Oregon’s move to become the first place in human history to legalize physician assisted suicide.

Our grandson Jake got married to Richie in Phoenix on June 20, the first of our five grandsons to get married. Getting to know Richie, and gaining a granddaughter has been delightful! Their wedding was beautiful and wonderful.

As with so many other questions about Heaven, it’s good to be reminded that God has only good things ahead for His children. Everything broken will be healed in His presence, including our past hurts over insensitive comments, and our disappointments over our appearance and personality.

The more you know Scripture, the easier it will be for you to spot when something you hear or read doesn’t match up with Truth.

I think the doctrine of eternal rewards is critically important, yet greatly misunderstood. Scripture is full of references to it. 

Nanci and I had no regrets about the treatments we chose. Yes, some of Nanci’s treatments were difficult, but it was always what she wanted, and the Lord gave her four more years from her diagnosis.

Headlines from the Middle East, and specifically the Israel-Iran conflict, have dominated the news lately. Here are some insights about believers in Israel and Iran that can help you know how to pray.

I think you might be confusing the word “mortal” with “finite.” We will no longer be mortal (subject to death) on the New Earth like we are presently. God’s gift of eternal life in Him means we will be immortal and live forever with Him.
