In this clip from his Sanctity of Human Life Sunday message, Pastor Dan Stump (Randy Alcorn’s son-in-law) talks about the importance of passing on to younger generations God’s heart related to the issue of abortion.

A thief on the cross asked Jesus to save him (Luke 23:40-43). He had nothing to offer Christ, no way to pay Him back. He could not make restitution or be baptized. He couldn’t give to the temple, care for the poor, tell people about Jesus, or take communion.

God intends us to love our animals—of course, not more than we love people—but still, that love is God-given. The pain of letting our pets go is great because God made them to be precious to us.

Tina Fortin, founder of Garden of Hope Ministries, shared her own story and her heart for bringing hope and healing, and the love and compassion of Jesus to women (and men) who have been affected by abortion.

One of the most arresting statements in Scripture is this one: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, ESV). The context of this passage shows that in the midst of a world that groans under suffering and evil, God’s main concern is conforming His children to the image of Christ.

Leaders should never use God’s flock to build their kingdoms and reputations in order to further themselves. Rather, they should set the example of humble service. We need more humble leaders, not self-promoting celebrities who know nothing of the servant-leader model exemplified by Christ.

What thrilled these expectant believers in Hebrews 11 was not that God would rule in Heaven—He already did. They dreamed of the time that He would rule here on Earth, removing sin, death, suffering, poverty, and heartache. They trusted that the Messiah would come and bring Heaven with Him.

Life will only be lived well by those who look for the rewards of a life well lived. No one grows close to God unless that person believes that drawing close to God has a payoff: “Whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).

In this clip from his message to a group of InterVarsity students at Harvard College, Randy discusses Jesus’s words in Matthew 6, about not to store up for ourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. He shares a real-life illustration of someone whose earthly treasure was literally eaten by moths.

Randy spoke to a group of InterVarsity students at Harvard College. Drawing from Scripture, he talks about money and giving, and shares six keys from his book The Treasure Principle.

I’ve been collecting quotations about Jesus for years. Here are some on His deity, beginning with the inspired words of John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

This parable serves as a warning to all of us. Jesus applies the rich fool’s experience to that of others: “So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God” (Luke 12:21).
