Wishful thinking is not the reason why, deep in our hearts, we desire a resurrected life on a resurrected Earth instead of a disembodied existence in a spiritual realm. Rather, we desire it precisely because God intends for us to be raised to new life on the New Earth.

In Randy's conversation with Greg Laurie they talk about angels. Will we be different than angels in Heaven? Do we become angels?

In this clip from his conversation with Greg Laurie, Randy answers the questions: What is Heaven? Where is Heaven? Most importantly, how do we get to Heaven?

In this clip Randy and Greg Laurie discuss the question "How do we train young minds to see Heaven as real? Will this book help kids understand that Heaven is real?"

An inspirational moment with Randy Alcorn talking about Heaven and our treasures in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-20). This video is from Session 2 of Randy's video Bible Study on Heaven produced by Lifetogether and Lamplighter Media, now out of print.

When I taught a theology of Heaven class, I was asked, “How accessible will Jesus be to us on the New Earth?” On the one hand, Jesus is a man, and man is finite and limited to one location. On the other hand, Jesus is God, and God is infinite and omnipresent.  

Randy visited First Baptist Church in Leesburg, Florida, where he spoke on the subject of heavenly treasure: “You can’t take it with you, but you can send it on ahead.” He talked about having a right perspective on the things that God has entrusted to us, as well as the joy to be found in giving.

Human logic says the King of kings should have been born in a palace, surrounded by luxury. Instead, the only door open to the humble Savior was a dirty stable. Amazingly, and revealingly, this was all by God’s design. 

At a celebration for his new book, The Promise of the New Earth, Randy shares some thoughts about grief and the eternal Heaven (the New Earth), and answers some questions related to the book.
