Randy Alcorn

За понад чотири роки, протягом яких моя кохана дружина Ненсі боролася з раком, було багато хороших і багато поганих новин. Ми пережили справжні емоційні гірки упродовж усіх трьох операцій, трьох сеансів опромінення і трьох сеансів хіміотерапії.

Randy was a guest on the Building Excellence Podcast with Bailey Miles in 2025. He shared his story of coming to Christ, how he transitioned into ministry, and his experience of becoming a writer. Randy and Bailey discussed mentorship, stewardship, and how adversity affects faith, as well as the role sports played in Randy’s life and the characteristics of a good coach.

What thrilled these expectant believers in Hebrews 11 was not that God would rule in Heaven—He already did. They dreamed of the time that He would rule here on Earth, removing sin, death, suffering, poverty, and heartache. They trusted that the Messiah would come and bring Heaven with Him.

Life will only be lived well by those who look for the rewards of a life well lived. No one grows close to God unless that person believes that drawing close to God has a payoff: “Whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).

I’ve been collecting quotations about Jesus for years. Here are some on His deity, beginning with the inspired words of John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

This parable serves as a warning to all of us. Jesus applies the rich fool’s experience to that of others: “So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God” (Luke 12:21).

The Heaven that now exists, called the present Heaven, is where God dwells with His people and angels and the living creatures. It is where His throne is located, and hence, it is the location from which He governs the universe. The present Heaven is a place free from the curse, without sin, death, and suffering.

Sevgili eşim Nanci’nin kanserle mücadele ettiği dört yılı aşkın zaman boyunca, birçok iyi haber ve birçok kötü haber aldık. Üç ameliyatı, üç radyoterapi ve üç kemoterapi seansı boyunca duygularımız alt üst oldu.

In this clip from a Q&A with students in the Torrey Honors College at Biola University in 2012, Randy references Matthew 22 and addresses the topic of marriage in Heaven. He says there will be one marriage: Christ married to His Church.
