Our actions should be in concert with our prayers—we should pray to find happiness in God and then take the kind of actions that will help us find happiness in God.

Randy had a conversation with Dr. Lee Warren about his book Happiness, what true happiness is, and how to find delight even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Their conversation touched on Randy's personal experiences and ministry, as well as a current writing project. 

During the 2008 Summer Olympics, I wrote about the ethical concerns with Beijing hosting the games. Just as I did then, I have mixed feelings about these Olympics. 

If we take God’s Word seriously, we should avoid debt when we can, since “the borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7, NLT). And since Jesus tells us we cannot serve both God and money, we should ask ourselves, before undertaking any debt, How will this affect my capacity to give generously?

ردوس میں ملنے والی جس خوشی کا وعدہ ہم سے کیا گیا تھا وہ ہمیں کبھی کبھی حال میں بھی مل جاتی ہے لیکن ہم کبھی نہ ختم ہونے والی خوشی حاصل کرنے کے منتظر ہیں۔

Last fall I had the privilege of being on a Zoom call talking about Heaven and the New Earth with a dozen or so moms who had lost children to the same kind of brain cancer. It was an unforgettable 2 1/2 hours, looking into the faces of all these dear women, most of them close to the camera where the tears and the pain were clearly visible.

A reader recently wrote us to ask, “In your book you state that when a Christian dies part goes to the grave and part goes to the feet of Jesus Christ. Where can I find that in the Bible?”

Countless myths have been attached to the pro-life movement. One example is the oft-repeated statement, “Pro-lifers don’t really care about pregnant women, or about children once they’re born.”

بعض اوقات ہم خدا سے ناراض ہونے کو ٹھیک سمجھتے ہیں لیکن ہمیں اسے درست کرنے کی ضرورت ہے۔ برے حالات کی وجہ سے گہرے طور پر مایوس ہونے، حوصلہ کھو بیٹھنے یا یہاں تک کہ بہت افسردہ ہونے اور خدا سے ناراض ہونے میں فرق ہے۔ خدا سے ناراض ہونے کا مطلب خدا پر الزام لگانا ہے اور یہ کہنا ہے کہ "حدا نے غلط کیا۔" اور خُدا کو ذمہ دار ٹھہرانا ایک گلی میں داخل ہونے کی طرح ہے جس کا کوئ دوسرا راستہ نہیں کیونکہ ایسا کرنے سے ہم اپنے سکون کے سب سے بڑے ذریعہ سے منہ موڑ لیتے ہیں۔
