There is nothing like the attributes of God to overwhelm us with a sense of eternal perspective as well as to give us comfort and encouragement.

In April 2017, Randy Alcorn taught a course at Veritas Evangelical Seminary on the subject of happiness. In this clip, he shares some quotes about happiness and believers. For more information, see Randy's book Happiness. 

Randy Alcorn quotes Charles Spurgeon who said, "We know little of spiritual things because we are so occupied by worldly things." In Heaven, there will be no idols between us and God; we will see God as He is and so all else will fall into place. In the same way, for everything to be right in this life, our hearts must be occupied by nothing besides God. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Charles Spurgeon has a remarkable way of getting to the heart of things. The more modern evangelical books I read, the more I feel the need to go back to Spurgeon and see him cut through the fog and get to the true business of following Jesus.

I appreciated this passage from a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "Daniel Facing the Lions' Den."

Rapper Shai Linne has produced a masterful musical biography of Spurgeon. I love it, and I love that people from different countries and different times and with different styles of communicating can be one in Christ and elevate the Word of God.  

This book is my attempt to help readers access wonderful Spurgeon insights into Heaven they might otherwise never know.

Question from a reader: Charles Spurgeon is an English preacher who died in 1892, yet you seem well-acquainted. When did you discover Spurgeon?

I’ve said before that one of my delights is exploring the vast reservoir of sermons by Charles Haddon Spurgeon. I came across one called “The Mighty Arm.”
