What Is Over-Realized Eschatology?

article - Nick Cady Randy's blog

One of our staff sent me this article written by a pastor, and I thought it was very good. (Yes, he does mention my Heaven book—but that’s not why we asked his permission to share what he wrote!) Over the years I’ve often used the term “over-realized eschatology,” but I don’t usually take the time to explain it, and this article does that well.

Bert and Colleen Elliot: Two “Average” Followers of Jesus Who Left an Example of Faithfulness

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Gilbert Gleason writes, “Bert and Colleen serve as the right kind of examples for ‘average’ followers of Jesus, proving that, for most of us, substantial, supernatural impact is achieved through simple daily faithfulness, listening to Jesus and loving people in His name.”

Living as People of the Truth in a Post-Truth World

article - Sara Barratt Randy's blog

Today’s blog is by Sara Barratt, from her new book, Stand Up, Stand Strong. Sara clearly understands the appealing but deceptive cultural values that confuse and derail countless believers, who, apart from learning to think critically, will likely abandon their faith.

We Would Do Well to Dig Deep into God

article - Nanci Alcorn Randy's blog

Here’s another precious insight from Nanci’s journal. One of the verses she shares, Jeremiah 17:8—the image of us being a tree with roots deeply planted in Jesus—is a favorite of ours.

He Will Turn Our Grief into Joy

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

God doesn’t only promise to replace our grief with joy, but to turn it into joy. Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.”

How Can I Help Someone I Love Who Struggles with Hoarding?

article - Stephanie Anderson

I have a question regarding a dear Christian friend who struggles with hoarding—not in the sense of wanting to acquire wealth and build barns, but more in the sense of holding onto everything because they think there might be a future purpose to that object, and have to buy it again would waste God’s money.

Does Scripture Permit Us to Spay and Neuter Our Pets?

article - Stephanie Anderson

Randy, I understand that you and I have the same affection for animals under our care as I’ve read an article you wrote concerning animals in Heaven. Is spaying and neutering our pets allowed by our faith? Personally, I don’t like the idea as it seems to control and alter what God has designed/created.

Does Louie Giglio Misinterpret Colossians 1:17 to Say It’s Referring to Laminin?

article - Stephanie Anderson

Randy has shared Louie Giglio’s presentation “How Great Is Our God” on his blog. I would like to know what he has to say about this article concerning how Louie used the example of laminin, and supposedly misinterprets Colossians 1:17 to fit his illustration. Thanks so much.

How Do I Share about My Business’s Giving Practices without Appearing Self-Promoting?

article - Stephanie Anderson

As you know, the key will be wording your explanation in such a way that it points to God and His glory rather than glorifying yourself (“Look at how great it is that I’m doing this!”). With wisdom, it certainly can be done.

I’m Struggling with My Faith and Knowing I’m Saved. What Should I Do?

article - Doreen Button

I’ve recently been questioning my faith even though I believe God is real. If you ask forgiveness and for God to come into your heart, does that automatically mean you’re going to Heaven?

Does the Outcome of a Good Deed Affect Our Eternal Reward?

article - Stephanie Anderson

What if we tell someone how to get to Heaven, and they believe and pray to receive Him? And what if they seem to stop believing, and show no evidence of a changed life? Would there be any reward from what was said earlier?

What Resources Do You Recommend to Refute the Idea of Reincarnation?

article - Brenda Abelein

A friend is struggling with the idea of reincarnation. She seems to need clarification from an expert, someone who has researched, someone of authority, such as Randy, to reassure herself of the truth. She says she personally does not believe in reincarnation, but has loved ones around her that do and wants to know how to address this. Where could we find a source refuting reincarnation?

Nanci’s Death Isn’t the End of Our Relationship, Only a Temporary Interruption

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

It’s true that I haven’t lost Nanci because I know where she is. I’m not concerned about her safety or well-being because she is safely home, and better off than she ever was in this world under the Curse. But I miss her so much.

We Are Certain in Our Uncertainty

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

The following paragraphs from Oswald Chamber’s classic, My Utmost for His Highest, really connect with Nanci’s four years of yielding to God about all the things she was constantly uncertain about.

We May Not Long for Death, But We Long for Heaven

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

When Jesus annihilates death, it shall be no more. We will not fear it, and it will have no hold on us. Don’t you long for that day?
