The Proper Study of a Christian Is the Godhead: Charles Spurgeon on the Subject of God

By Randy Alcorn | April 27, 2018

There is nothing like the attributes of God to overwhelm us with a sense of eternal perspective as well as to give us comfort and encouragement.

Paul Young’s “Lies We Believe About God” Dismantles Precious Truths from Scripture

By Randy Alcorn | April 18, 2018

Last year, Paul Young, author of The Shack, had a book come out called Lies We Believe About God. Ironically, many of the doctrinal concerns that I and many others expressed about The Shack have proven to be true.

Love Is Not God: A. W. Tozer on How Equating Love with God Is a Major Mistake

By Randy Alcorn | March 19, 2018

Answering Claims That the Bible Contains Errors, and Why It Matters That It Doesn’t

By Randy Alcorn | December 13, 2017

When people say they believe the Bible contains errors, it’s a good practice to ask them to name those errors so you can open a Bible and look at them together.

Light Has Dawned: Reflections at Christmastime on the Light of Jesus

By Randy Alcorn | November 29, 2017

The people Jesus spoke to lived without streetlights. If they didn’t have a lamp and a means to light it, they groped in darkness, vulnerable to assailants. They understood what it meant when Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).

By Randy Alcorn | September 13, 2017

Along with several dozen other Christian leaders, I’m one of the initial signatories of this statement, which seeks to provide a Christ-honoring and biblically faithful standard on homosexuality and transgenderism.

Forsaken for a Reason

By Randy Alcorn | August 11, 2017

Echoing David in Psalm 22, Jesus cried out on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” In that haunting cry, Christ identifies with our despair and bridges the gap between God and us not only theologically, in the Atonement, but emotionally—between our suffering and God’s, between our agonizing cries and those of God’s Son.

Was Jesus Capable of Sinning?

By Randy Alcorn | July 12, 2017

Since Jesus is God He cannot be tempted by evil, yet He has been tempted in every way we are (and surely we are tempted by evil!). This is one of many paradoxes in Scripture. 

Are There Errors in Scripture in the Small Details, Like Measurements of Time and Distance?

By Randy Alcorn | June 28, 2017

Many apparent contradictions in Scripture are resolved through a closer look. I recently responded to a question related to the differing number of days that the gospel writers use to refer to the same event. I share it as an example of how details in biblical passages are often claimed to be errors, but upon careful examination, we can see they are not.

By Randy Alcorn | April 26, 2017

In 1991, the year after we started Eternal Perspective Ministries, John Piper came out with The Pleasures of God, which was updated in 2000. This is a truly great book that I highly recommend.
