Albert Mohler on Complementarianism, Blind Spots, and the Importance of Positive Affirmations of Women in the Church

By Randy Alcorn December 30, 2019

As I’ve shared before, the widespread perception among both unbelievers and believers in our culture is that conservative Bible-believing churches—especially those that are also politically conservative—are the last bastion of cultural chauvinism. We are thought to foster disrespect of women and, indirectly, abuse.

To Serve God in Heaven Will Be a Great Reward

By Randy Alcorn December 27, 2019

We’re told that those coming out of the Great Tribulation will be specially rewarded by being given a place “before the throne of God,” where they will “serve him day and night” (Revelation 7:14-15). Notice that the Master rewards His faithful servants not by taking away responsibilities but by giving them greater ones.

Thoughts to Help You Ponder the Wonder of Christmas

By Randy Alcorn December 23, 2019

The Christmas season is Nanci’s and my favorite, even in a year—no, especially—in a year that has brought significant trials, including in the last three weeks the bad news about the spread of Nanci’s cancer and the death of our best friends’ thirty year old son.

By Randy Alcorn December 16, 2019

Some time ago Greg Laurie asked me to interview me about Heaven, Happiness, and Hope at his Harvest Fellowship churches in Southern California.

Ten Ways Materialism Brings Us to Ruin

By Randy Alcorn December 13, 2019
