Recognizing and Wisely Handling Our Emotions, and Submitting to God’s Truth

By Randy Alcorn January 15, 2021

Every person is an emotional being, yet some Christians have been taught that strong emotions are categorically sinful and therefore unacceptable. In and of themselves emotions are neither good nor bad, they simply are. Questions of right and wrong relate to how we handle our emotions.

COVID Vaccines and Fetal Cells: What’s Ethical and What Isn’t?

By Randy Alcorn January 13, 2021

In this blog, our goal is to provide biblically relevant information and resources to examine related to the COVID-19 vaccines. Because of the long history of fetal tissue research that I believe is entirely unethical, I approach this subject with great seriousness.

See God’s Sovereignty in the Interruptions to Your Day

By Scott Hubbard January 11, 2021

It’s not always easy to see the interruptions in our days as God’s sovereign plan for us, but if we don’t view them that way, we’ll end up frustrated and annoyed instead of useful and grateful. We’ll resent people for interrupting us, rather than looking for divine appointments.

By Randy Alcorn January 8, 2021

A friend asked me, "What would be some of the characteristics of the life of a person who is bearing their cross? (Matthew 16) What does this cross-bearer look like?" It got me thinking. If you follow me on Facebook, I’d love to hear some of your thoughts in the comments. Here are some of mine.

Isn’t It Cruel to Force a Woman to Keep a Child She Can’t Afford to Raise, or to Give up a Baby for Adoption?

By Randy Alcorn January 6, 2021

“Abortion or misery” is a binary trap that keeps women from pursuing—and society from providing—positive alternatives. It’s a terrible thing to present pregnant women with inadequate choices, leaving them in an apparent no-win situation.

God Is Preparing a Place for His Children—and Eagerly Awaits Their Arrival Home

By Randy Alcorn January 4, 2021

Years ago, knowing our children were coming, Nanci and I prepared a place for them. We chose the room, picked out the right wallpaper, decorated and set up the crib just so, selected the perfect blankets. The quality of the place we prepared for our daughters was limited only by our skills and resources and imaginations.

Why “Happy New Year” Wishes Can Be Realistic or Unrealistic

By Randy Alcorn January 1, 2021

If by “Happy New Year!” we mean that all our problems are about to end with 2020, we’re being unrealistic. But if by “Happy New Year!” we mean that we can choose to be centered on Jesus and happy in Him no matter what this new year brings, that is not blind optimism; it is biblical realism.

Alisa Childers on Doubt, Progressive Christianity, and Rediscovering the Solid Rock

By Randy Alcorn December 30, 2020

It’s become increasingly popular for people to share their “de-conversion stories,” talking about how they moved from belief in Christ and the Bible to a design-it-yourself type of spirituality, or even out right atheism.

Sending Hope to the Hopeless: Books for Prisoners

By Randy Alcorn December 28, 2020

Our ministry received this note a few days ago from a prisoner we sent one of my books to. In his letter, he mentioned his birth date, which is six months to the day after my youngest daughter Angela’s. It touched me to think of how different people’s lives turn out.  

Because Jesus Offered Himself for Us, We Won’t Find No Vacancy Signs in Heaven

By Randy Alcorn December 25, 2020

Human logic says the King of kings should have been born in a palace, surrounded by luxury. Instead, the only door open to the humble Savior was a dirty stable. Amazingly, and revealingly, this was all by God’s design.
