Randy Alcorn

Lately I’ve been meditating on the familiar (and therefore neglected) words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30. Though I memorized the words as a new Christian 45 years ago, I have never pondered them as much as recently.

Tim Keller in his great book Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God uses an illustration from O. Hallesby. In God’s providence, I was recently reading this passage from the book, and found it very helpful.

Randy Alcorn talks about why he does what he does, speaking to a group of CEO's (both secular and Christian).

God has written his law on our hearts (see Romans 2:15). There’s compelling evidence he’s also written on our hearts a powerful desire for happiness. In fact, this has been the consensus of theologians throughout church history.
