Pat Robertson versus Robertson McQuilkin on Alzheimer’s and Marriage

Pat Robinson

Pat Robertson has said something so stunning, so at odds with the Word of God and the heart of our Savior, that when I heard he had said it I thought he had been misunderstood or misrepresented.

Caring about All Suffering, Especially Eternal Suffering

HopeI have written about Hell in a number of my books, both nonfiction and fiction. It is an unpleasant subject, one which modern Christians are tempted to avoid and deny. And the church’s avoidance of it inevitably leads to many church-goers denying it.

Dogs Judging Dog Owners by Their Own Standards?

MosesWhy doesn’t God run the world, especially my world, like I want him to? The fact that He doesn’t leads some people to question his goodness.

Our problem is that we define goodness from our finite and fallen perspective, then criticize God for failing to be good in our eyes.

This is our dog Moses. He’s a great dog and we love him. But he is not a rocket scientist. In fact, if he were allowed access to a rocket he would probably sniff it, lick it and then relieve himself on it.

We love Moses, but ...

God Appoints Times and Places—and Snowstorms

Randy Alcorn on Family LifeLast week I took a trip to Little Rock, Arkansas to record three programs about my book If God Is Good with Family Life Today radio. The show will be airing probably in late spring or early summer.

To ignore someone’s pain is to add to that pain. Instead of fearing we’ll say the wrong thing, we should reach out to hurting people. Many times it’s better just to put our arms around someone and cry with them; people almost ...
