God’s Limits Are a Sign of His Power

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Back in the 1970s when I was a brand-new Christian, it was popular for people to ask questions like, “Can God create a stone so heavy that He cannot lift it? If not, then He is not all powerful, and if so, He is not all powerful. Therefore, if it is impossible, that contradicts Scripture.” To some it seemed convincing, but it was just a ridiculous self-contradiction that proved nothing at all.

Charlie Kirk, the Brevity of Life, God’s Sovereignty, and Our Rock-Solid Hope

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Like countless others, I was greatly saddened by the murder of 31-year-old Charlie Kirk, the founder and president of Turning Point USA, a few days ago. My prayers have been with his family and friends and church. Many of us have wept for their pain and suffering, and wept for our country as well.

Are You Weary in Life’s Race? Ask Your Savior for His Empowerment

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Life in this world—the way it is now and the way we are now—can be difficult, can’t it? It’s easy to become burdened, discouraged, depressed, or even traumatized when you suffer the loss of a loved one, when your health is failing, or when your dreams—your family, career, or lifelong ambitions—have crumbled.

Fearing God Drives Away Other Fears

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

If we don’t fear God, we have good reason to be afraid of other things. You fear God when you come to grips with the fact that He is in charge, and you are not. As Spurgeon put it, He is the sovereign help of our souls.

Is Being Pro-Life Really Just “Pro-Forced Birth”?

article - Tim Barnett Randy's blog

In this article, Tim Barnett with Stand to Reason answers the claim that being prolife is just “pro-forced birth.” He writes, “Abortion advocates are brilliant at playing word games. Using clever rhetorical moves, they are able to make protecting preborn children look bad and killing preborn children look good.”

That Time J. I. Packer Read from the Heaven Book

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Back in 2009, I was asked to be on a panel on Heaven and Hell at a book conference. When I asked who else would be on the panel, they mentioned J. I. Packer, and my response was, “I will do it as long as I can sit next to Dr. Packer.” (The organizers kindly accommodated my request!)

These Seven Biblical Truths Can Bring You Great Happiness

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

In my last blog, I shared six false expectations that can diminish our happiness. So what truths should raise our expectations of happiness? Here are seven worth focusing on.

Are Any of These Six False Expectations Diminishing Your Happiness?

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Most people intuitively know that our expectations profoundly affect our life experiences. Yet even as believers, we simultaneously expect too much and too little. We need to discover what we should expect less of and what merits higher expectations.

Will Our Earthly Marriage Partners Still Be Important to Us in Heaven?

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

One day all Heaven will attend the ultimate wedding, and we will be Christ's bride (see Revelation 19:7-9). However, I do envision that people who’ve had important roles in each other’s lives will continue to be friends—and that would include a lot of people who’ve been married.

Animals on the New Earth, and Yes, Why I Believe That Includes Cats!

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

When I was answering a question about animals and the New Earth, a comment was said about cats. I have to shake my head at this often-repeated joke, because I’ve been in three different churches where the pastor said from the pulpit that he thinks all dogs go to Heaven, but not cats. It’s good for laughs, but not funny to people who love their cats.

A 2007 Photo Makes Me Think of God’s Children Now in Heaven, and Anticipate Eternal Reunion

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

I came across this photo last week and was reminded of the great time Nanci and I had back in 2007 at the Desiring God National Conference in Minneapolis. With John MacArthur’s recent passing, most of the people in this picture are now in Christ’s presence.

What You Do for the Glory of Jesus Will Last Forever: Answering Questions about Eternal Rewards

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Sometimes we have an anti-works mentality, which is unfortunate since immediately after saying we are not saved by our works, God tells us “we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works” (Ephesians 2:8-10).

Ron Blue and I Share about Generosity, and What Louie Giglio Said That Made Me Laugh

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

In February, I attended the Kingdom Advisors annual conference, which gathered 2,500 Christian financial professionals who influence their clients to give generously to God’s kingdom. This is a picture of Ron Blue, the founder of Kingdom Advisors, and I being interviewed by Sharon Epps, who’s their president. We have a lot of fun together!

God Is Doing Far More Miracles Than We Realize—Every Day in Human Hearts

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

It may seem that, compared to what we see in Scripture, visible miracles are very few and far between today. But greater invisible miracles are in fact are happening all the time around us as God regenerates hard human hearts. Hence, God is doing far more miracles than we realize.
