All Resources

In this video clip, Randy Alcorn talks about his book If God Is Good. (Part 5 of 7)

Our unbiblical assumption that Heaven won’t be a real, tangible, earthly place blinds us to what Scripture actually says.

Living in isolation, lacking simple mobility and cut off from life, many of the disabled are also tragically cut off from the local church.

It is the intermediate hell that is cast into the lake of fire.(Rev. 20:14)

So, I shouldn’t be bragging about my Bible study or prayer or evangelism or parenting or giving, but I shouldn’t be covering it up either.

In health and wealth theology, God is seen as a great no-lose lottery in the sky....

It is talking about the present Heaven, apparently, since the New Earth comes on the scene after the final judgment, and Revelation isn’t about the New Earth until Revelation 21-22. However, some aspects of the present Heaven may be shared by the future post-resurrection Heaven.

The offspring and descendants I understand to be the offspring and descendants of people presently alive.

It will sometimes happen that where there is the most sorrow in the antecedents, there will be the most pleasure in the sequel.

When it comes to our money and resources, what Randy is trying to communicate is to be open to the needs of the people today (the poor, the hungry and needy)....

While we do not regard ourselves a charismatic church, we do not wish to be known as “anti-charismatic.” What we do insist upon is a spirit of love and unity, the total sufficiency of Christ, and the final authority of the Scriptures.

So we will not be complete, fully perfected human beings until our sinless spirit is joined to a body no longer under the curse in the resurrection.

This is a good reminder that there is a time to not only pay full price, but also to pay in excess to the glory of God, if that’s more pleasing and honoring to Him.

A 25th anniversary greeting to the Portland Pregnancy Resource Center from Randy Alcorn.
