Ten Biblical Reasons to Give, and an Opportunity to Serve Needy Children through Compassion’s Fill the Stadium

By Randy Alcorn May 25, 2020

Proverbs 19:17 says, “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done” (NIV). That's a striking verse, because God doesn’t owe us anything—we owe Him everything! But when we are generous to the poor, we are lending to the Lord. 

Trillia Newbell Shares a Lament for Ahmaud Arbery

By Trillia Newbell May 22, 2020

I have the greatest appreciation for Trillia Newbell, the author of United: Captured by God’s Vision for Diversity. One of the many things Trillia does is provide a commentary for the podcast The World and Everything in It. She recently shared some thoughts related to the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Please listen carefully to what Trillia has to say and ask God to speak to you through her.

Why Don't We Often Focus on the Importance of Christ's Ascension?

By Randy Alcorn May 20, 2020

Tomorrow, May 21, is Ascension Day. A reader asked me, “I hear talk about Christ’s death and resurrection, but seldom about his ascension. Why is that?” It’s true the ascension is a neglected doctrine today, perhaps because we fail to explore the full implications of it.

In Challenging Times, Seek Your Satisfaction in God and His Word

By Randy Alcorn May 18, 2020

It may sound selfish to say that one of our main duties in life is to find happiness, satisfaction, peace, and rest in God. But only when we’re delighting in our Lord do we have far more to offer everyone else—especially in times of stress and difficulty, when life demands even more of us.

By Randy Alcorn May 15, 2020

Three weeks ago I did a 45-minute video chat with my friend Scott Lindsay of Faithlife, the makers of Logos Bible Software. We discussed suffering, God’s sovereignty, and the coronavirus crisis, and also talked about the good things that God is doing through this time.

Ravi Zacharias and Hugh Ross Answer Questions from Non-Believers

By Randy Alcorn May 13, 2020

I listened to this video with a recording of Ravi Zacharias and astronomer Hugh Ross, who were guests on Ohio State University’s radio program. It was recorded in 1994, but what both of them have to share and how they answer questions from callers,  many of them antagonistic toward Christianity, is timeless.

By Randy Alcorn May 11, 2020

I recently watched part of an interview that Keith Getty did where he challenges pastors, worship leaders, and parents to think carefully about what songs we’re giving our children to sing. What he has to say is great and important.

Loving Your Brothers and Sisters Who Think Differently on the Timing of Reopening

By Randy Alcorn May 6, 2020

This video, from my son-in-law Dan Franklin, married to my daughter Karina, is terrific. Some believers on both sides of the debate of when we should reopen are dismissive of the specific and very different circumstances that inform people’s viewpoints.

Heaven: Headed Home

By Randy Alcorn May 4, 2020

God’s people are aliens and strangers, looking for a country of their own. This world, as it is now, under the curse, isn’t our home. But one day not only we but the earth itself will be remade. That earth, the New Earth, will not only be a place made for us but the place we were made for.
