Shai Linne Shares His Experience of Being a Black Man in America to Encourage Understanding and Unity

A few years ago I enjoyed meeting recording artist Shai Linne at a conference where we were speaking the same night. We had a terrific conversation in which I thanked him for his extraordinary work and artistry in conveying solid biblical doctrine. Please listen to his powerful words in the following article. They resonate, down to the specific illustrations, with what every black man, from poor guys to rich ones, told me when I interviewed many black Americans while researching my novel Dominion.

Discovering the Wonders of God in the Low Tides of Life

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Over the years, God has been faithful in what I call “the low tides” of life. In those times, I’ve seen Him in ways not always visible during high tides—periods of relative ease and comfort. As the wonders of underwater tide pools are only seen at low tide, so the wonders of God and depths of our need for Him can become visible to us in our own low tides.

Empathize with Good Cops in This Time of Rightly Calling out Bad Ones

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

I have posted previous blogs and articles on racial justice, including my last blog post. At the risk of being misunderstood or misquoted by some who will say, “This is no time to defend cops,” I want to also address the role of righteous people of all ethnicities serving in law enforcement, and say something to police officers that I feel deeply.

How Often Do You Think about the Color of Your Skin? A Discussion Between Two Friends

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

In this excerpt from my novel Dominion, the main character Clarence Abernathy, a black journalist, discusses issues related to race with his friend and coworker Jake Woods (the main character of the previous novel Deadline). There’s a lot of action in the book, but this is a lengthy dialogue, one that may help you think a little differently about racial issues than a nonfiction treatment might.

Will Heaven Be Different for the Martyred Saints Than It Will Be for the Rest of Believers?

article - Stephanie Anderson

Could you explain the difference between Heaven for the saints versus Heaven for the martyred saints? There seems to be a distinction, yet we claim all believers will be given a white robe and their tears will be wiped away.

Racial Justice and the Image of God

article - Dan Franklin Randy's blog

My son-in-law Dan Franklin, teaching pastor at Life Bible Fellowship Church in Upland, California, shared the following thoughts on Facebook yesterday. May Jesus be honored, justice prevail, and peace be upheld for the sake of all people.

Enjoying Maggie Grace, Then and Now

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Here are a couple of photos of Maggie as an eight-year-old (equivalent to about 60 human years, so she’s catching up with us). We love her more than ever, even as she’s slowing down a bit (but she can still dig and chase rabbits with the best of them).

How Do I Respond to Those Who Use Numbers 5 and Exodus 21 as Scriptural Support for Abortion?

article - Randy Alcorn

Numbers 5:11–3 1 is an unusual passage of Scripture used to make a central argument in A Prochoice Bible Study, published by Episcopalians for Religious Freedom. They cite the New English Bible’s peculiar translation which makes it sound as if God brings a miscarriage on a woman if she is unfaithful to her husband.

Ten Biblical Reasons to Give

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Proverbs 19:17 says, “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done” (NIV). That's a striking verse, because God doesn’t owe us anything—we owe Him everything! But when we are generous to the poor, we are lending to the Lord.

Trillia Newbell Shares a Lament for Ahmaud Arbery

article - Trillia Newbell Randy's blog

I have the greatest appreciation for Trillia Newbell, the author of United: Captured by God’s Vision for Diversity. One of the many things Trillia does is provide a commentary for the podcast The World and Everything in It. She recently shared some thoughts related to the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Please listen carefully to what Trillia has to say and ask God to speak to you through her.

Why Don't We Often Focus on the Importance of Christ's Ascension?

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Tomorrow, May 21, is Ascension Day. A reader asked me, “I hear talk about Christ’s death and resurrection, but seldom about his ascension. Why is that?” It’s true the ascension is a neglected doctrine today, perhaps because we fail to explore the full implications of it.

In Challenging Times, Seek Your Satisfaction in God and His Word

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

It may sound selfish to say that one of our main duties in life is to find happiness, satisfaction, peace, and rest in God. But only when we’re delighting in our Lord do we have far more to offer everyone else—especially in times of stress and difficulty, when life demands even more of us.
