"There’s a scene in the Chronicles of Narnia where the young Shasta and Aravis are being pursued through valleys and over ridges by wicked men. Their horses (Narnian talking horses) were running as fast as they could to get away—or so they thought—until the Great Lion also begins chasing them from close range. Suddenly they discover a new gear."

Randy Alcorn speaks at his home church, Good Shepherd Community Church about heaven and the new earth.

Randy was interviewed by his local church, Good Shepherd, for their annual Global Outreach weekend. He shares some of his family's experiences visiting missionaries.

I just love this story my friend Larry Gadbaugh, CEO of First Image (which oversees Portland’s Pregnancy Resource Centers) tells in one of his recent letters.

I enjoy reading the insights of pastors and others who live in other cultures in different parts of the world. I really appreciated this fresh and thoughtful article by Chopo Mwanza, the pastor of Faith Baptist Church Riverside in Kitwe, Zambia.

I recorded a video for a local prolife gathering commentating on the closure of Lovejoy Surgicenter, a Portland abortion clinic that played a huge part in my life and in the history of our ministry.  I hope this encourages you as you follow God’s leading in your own life. 

I believe Scripture clearly suggests our loved ones now in Heaven are witnessing, in at least some capacity, God’s unfolding plan on earth. They live in a place where joy is the air they breathe, and nothing they see on earth can diminish their joy. Their happiness doesn’t depend on ignorance, but perspective, drawn from the Christ in whose presence they live.

In the following video, Randy Alcorn is interviewed by Sean McDowell over Zoom on the topic of heaven, hell, and the afterlife. 

What will we experience on the New Earth? (Make your own list. This is just a portion of mine.)
