No preacher of God‘s Word speaks to me more powerfully than Charles Spurgeon. Many thanks to Geoffrey Chang for giving us Spurgeon's rich insights into Christ’s incarnation. May this excerpt from A Wondrous Mystery help you contemplate Immanuel, God with us!

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Galatians 6:7). God help us to examine carefully our thoughts and lives, the daily choices we make, and the little compromises that cumulatively become moral disasters. 

Readers' Respones to Grieving with Hope

A reader on my Facebook page asked this question about the nature of treasures in Heaven: “What does that even mean to ‘store your treasures in heaven’? What treasures are we storing up?!”

Randy visited Tyndale House to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his book Heaven. While there, he was interviewed by his friend Carol Traver at a staff gathering. In this clip he answers a question about the responses to this book. 

God feels love, compassion, anger, and happiness. He’s never overwhelmed by unsettling emotions, nor is He subject to distresses imposed by others. But He does feel His children’s suffering deeply.

This article is a great reminder that gratitude is key to living a generous life. May you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving, celebrating all Jesus has done for us!

Do we consistently acknowledge God to be the greatest source of our joy? Are we filled with discontentment over what we don’t have, rather than gratitude over what we do have? 

Clarrisa Moll, author of Beyond the Darkness, shares five tips for the holiday season for those who are grieving. She writes, “There is a joy to this season that death, trial, and suffering can never take away.” So true. Because of Jesus, we have a rock-solid hope. I believe that more than ever since Nanci entered His presence!

The process of discovering God’s countercultural will about money and possessions can both excite and liberate. For my late wife, Nanci, and me, our growth in financial stewardship paralleled our spiritual growth. In fact, it propelled it.

On the Equipping You in Grace show, Dave Jenkins talks with Randy Alcorn about how living in light of the truth of Heaven can help those grieving now and about finding your God-given identity after a loss. They also talk about Randy’s booklet Grieving with Hope: Walking with Jesus in Heartbreak.

Over the years, some people have thought I talk too much about social justice issues and not enough about missions, not realizing how much EPM gives substantially to missions and crisis and development aid. We give to a wide and diverse range of causes that we believe are close to God’s heart.

I found this video interesting and touching, showing how God can use one article to a great end—in this case, starting a quality Christian school in the inner city.

Our life in God's presence will be fullness of joy. Upon our deaths, we’ll be face to face with goodness Himself, and we’ll be able to ask Jesus our questions directly. And for now, we can rest in His character: His goodness, mercy, kindness, and abundant grace.
