My latest book All God’s Creatures: What the Bible Says About Animals, Heaven, and the New Earth will be released from Tyndale House on November 17. It was a labor of love for the past three years—especially love for God first, and Nanci second.

It’s been almost three years since author Tim Keller entered the presence of Jesus. As is said of Abel, so it can be said of Tim: “he still speaks through his faith” (Hebrews 11:4, CSB). This video clip, and what Tim says about how the resurrection changes how we face challenges, is just so powerful.

Out of the appallingly bad came what was inexpressibly good. And the good trumps the bad because the bad was temporary while the good is eternal. God’s love and grace come to us soaked in divine blood.

We may sometimes be able to fool ourselves and others, but never God. He knows what we’re thinking about and what we’re doing. And it is His appraisal of our life that ultimately matters.

John Calvin said, “While all men seek after happiness, scarcely one in a hundred looks for it from God.” One reason is because we’re sinners. Another is because the average person wouldn’t imagine that happiness could be found in God.

On March 13, I lost a dear friend in John Perkins; on March 19, I lost a very close friend, Carlos “Chuck” Norris (I will eventually write my thoughts about him, now is just too soon); and tomorrow, Saturday, March 28 is the fourth anniversary of Nanci's death.

Our grief has an expiration date. The world as it is now is under the curse, but God will lift it once and for all: “No longer will there be any curse” (Revelation 22:3).

The Good News is not about how great you and I are (thank God for that). It’s about how great Jesus is and the wonderful things He’s done for us.

In this clip from a conversation with Rob West on Faith and Finance, Randy references 1 Timothy 6 to address the tension that exists between enjoying what God has gifted us with, and giving generously.

In this clip from a conversation with Rob West on Faith and Finance, Randy discusses how we are to be stewards of God’s possessions. Using the analogy of a FedEx worker, Randy explains that God has entrusted money to us, and our job is not to keep it, but to get it to where He wants it to go.

In this clip from a conversation with Rob West on Faith and Finance, Randy says that if we store up our treasures in heaven, we are always moving towards them we get closer to the day we die. Giving is what shifts our treasures and our hearts toward heaven.

In this clip from a conversation with Rob West on Faith and Finance, Randy explains the importance of looking forward to a new Heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells. Living with a right view of eternity makes us eager to store up our treasures there.

In this clip from a conversation with Rob West on Faith and Finance, Randy talks about how we don’t need to live extravagantly. We live in a world of need, and if we spend less and live generously, we can help other people live.

Living simply isn’t about deprivation; it’s about freedom, and that freedom can lead to extraordinary generosity. Rather than cling to our possessions, God calls us to have an everlasting mindset and use what we have for His Kingdom. On this episode of Faith and Finance, Randy Alcorn joins Rob West to discuss how we can loosen our grip on earthly things to open our hands to eternal impact.
