Will Our Bodies Shine in Heaven?

By Randy Alcorn | July 11, 2018

Some people have asked me if our resurrected bodies will shine. They cite two passages: “The righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father” (Matthew 13:43) and “Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven” (Daniel 12:3, NASB).

Get into God’s Word with The Bible Project

By Randy Alcorn | July 9, 2018

One of the best things to come out of Portland, Oregon (where I live) in the last few years is The Bible Project, which is done by a couple of creative brothers here that know God and His Word.

Help Us Fund a Translation of Scripture, in Honor of Our Coworker Karen Coleman

By Eternal Perspective Ministries | June 29, 2018

We can’t think of a better way to remember Karen’s legacy than to give in her honor towards the translation of Scripture. We were so happy that she learned of our idea just before she died and was able to respond with a smile and nod! So we’re partnering with The Seed Company to help fund the Esimbi project, which will bring God’s Word to 20,000 people who live in isolated areas in Karen’s beloved Cameroon.

By Randy Alcorn | June 25, 2018

By Randy Alcorn | June 22, 2018

Suppose a professor or inspirational speaker says, “What’s important isn’t finding the truth, it’s searching for it.” Try applying the same logic to your search for a life preserver when you’re drowning!
