Question from an eleven-year-old reader: Do you have any suggestions about how many words I should write in a day? I generally get 300 to 900 words on a good day.

Hope you enjoy this recap of our ministry’s past year, and our plans for the coming one. Happy New Year! 

I think joy in eternity will be the same sort of thing we know as joy and happiness and delight right now. But it will be purified and absolute in the sense that, as Paul says, right now we are “sorrowful yet always rejoicing” (2 Corinthians 6:10).

Nanci and I love The Valley of Vision, which is a collection of brief and profound Puritan prayers compiled by Arthur Bennett. This is the first entry in the book, but what follows is just as good.

I think you’ll be encouraged as you hear Spence and Tara Hackney share how sending their treasure on ahead has brought them such delight.

Randy Alcorn's sermon preached at Generous Giving's Pacific Nortwest annual fall conference in Stevenson, Washington, October 19-21, 2006. He talks about why we should give and shares several passages on understanding the "treasure principle" of pursuing eternal treasure. 

What could be more happy-making than knowing the God of happiness, who grants us eternal life and happiness in Christ?

What if we as believers were known as the people of celebration and gladness, and the church as the place of feasting?

Read Luke 1 and 2, and marvel at the sovereign work of our Father, sending His Son, our Savior, into this world. He did it for us, to be our Redeemer.

Sometimes I read something that is beautifully worded and right on target. These insights from Ray Ortlund, on churches as gospel culture, is terrific.

Spence and Tara Hackney share their story on selling their house, the process of buying a new one and how Randy Alcorn's book The Treasure Principle impacted their lives.

I think the very fact that He’s unhappy with sin is an indicator that sin is what robs people of happiness. So He’s happy with that which is not only in conformity to His holy standards, but also that which is in conformity to His happiness and delight.

At Eternal Perspective Ministries, we’re dedicated to investing in eternity and joyfully helping others do the same. This perspective is the heartbeat behind all we do.

Randy Alcorn addresses the staff of Faithlife, and shares about God's offer of happiness and joy in Jesus Christ.
