Will We Have Regrets at the Judgment Seat of Christ?

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

When Kirk Cousins, starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, interviewed me, one of the great questions he asked was, “Will we have regret in Heaven when we finally see with an eternal perspective?” I really appreciated Kirk’s question because of his Bible-based recognition of a truth many Christians don’t often contemplate, that “each of us will give an account of ourselves to God” (Romans 14:12).

Let Us Live and Pray as One Baptized into the Threefold Name

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

I love The Valley of Vision, which is a collection of brief and profound Puritan prayers compiled by Arthur Bennett. I find these prayers uniquely powerful and penetrating. So did Nanci, and she often read them in her last few years of going deep in the things of God before Jesus took her home.

Our Weakness Could Be the Making of Our Children’s Faith

article - Vaneetha Rendall Risner Randy's blog

Sharing honestly with our children about our weaknesses and our need for God’s strength can teach them a great deal, as our friend Vaneetha Rendall Risner so beautifully explains in this powerful article. She writes, “Parenting through weakness can bring God glory. As we rely on God and his grace, he shines through our lives.”

Are People in Heaven Praying for Those on Earth?

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

The answer is possibly yes—at least sometimes. In Revelation 6:10 we see martyrs in Heaven praying to God, asking Him to take specific action on earth. These are saints who have died and are now in God’s presence.

Make It Your Ambition Not to Be Ambitious

article - Chad Bird Randy's blog

D.L. Moody wisely said, “Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at something that doesn't really matter.” As Chad Bird explains in this article, we need not be afraid of living an ordinary, normal, quiet life. Rather, we should fear building our lives around ambition and success, pursuing things that won’t matter eternally.

Putting God First Enhances Everything Beneath Him

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Secondary happiness, which is found in something or someone God has created, ultimately leads back to Him. Have you ever pointed to something you want a child to see and then watched the child look at your finger instead of what you’re pointing at? The secondary only fulfills its purpose when people follow it to the primary.

God Is as Just and Holy as He Is Loving

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

In order to understand God’s love in our current culture, it’s necessary to distinguish what love doesn’t mean and to see it in relationship to God’s other attributes. Yes, God is love, but it is not His only attribute, nor is it always His defining attribute.

How Can We Keep a Loose Grip on Possessions?

Put your resources, your assets, your money and possessions, your time and talents and energies into the things of God. As surely as the compass needle follows north, your heart will follow your treasure.

Having Loved Ones in Heaven Makes Our Anticipation of Eternity Stronger Than Ever

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Last month I had a conversation over Zoom with Steve Silver of Men’s Golf Fellowship. Steve’s wife Sandy went to be with Jesus last December, just three months before Nanci died. We can both understand each other’s pain of loss, but also the intense anticipation for and comfort of Heaven now that our wives reside there.

Do What It Takes to Have Time with God

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Someone asked me, “How do busy people set aside time to rest, reflect, and recharge?” Here are some thoughts about the importance of setting priorities, and saying no even to good things in order to do what’s most important.

How to Escape the Rut of Discontentment

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Nanci and I spoke at our church’s young moms group a number of times, and she was always great. One of the questions we answered when we spoke in 2014 was, “How can I escape the cycle of discontentment? What are some practical ways to stop this cycle?”

When “Blessed” Means “Happy”

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Growing up in an unbelieving home, I never heard the word blessed as a child. After I came to Christ, I heard it often. I didn’t know what it meant; I just knew it sounded holy and spiritual.

Heaven Isn’t Just Consolation, It’s Restoration, the Fulfillment of Our Deepest Hopes and Desires

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

We long for a return to Paradise—a perfect world, without the corruption of sin, where God walks with us and talks with us in the cool of the day. Because we’re human beings, we desire something tangible and physical, something that will not fade away. And that is exactly what God promises us.

The Doctrinal Crisis in American Evangelical Churches: What Can We Do?

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Most readers have likely heard about individuals having a crisis of faith. We’ve learned terms such as “exvangelical” and “deconstruction.” We are sometimes familiar with entire churches, even denominations, who have lost their faith. But while it is not the first to do so, a poll released last week should serve as a dramatic wake up call to evangelical churches and their pastors.
