All Resources

It should be a great encouragement to us that no one is ever too old or to set in their ways that the Holy Spirit can’t change their hearts, as this wonderful story a reader shared on my Facebook page demonstrates.

The following story was first told in my book The Grace and Truth Paradox, and touches on Eric Liddell’s life after he won Olympic gold. I asked Stephanie Anderson, who works on EPM’s staff and helps with my blogs, to do some research and fill in the blanks to share more of what life was like for the children in the prison camp.

This summer is the 100th anniversary of Eric Liddell winning the gold medal in the men’s 400m. Today’s blog is the repost of one I first shared about Eric in 2018, with the addition of a few paragraphs and some tweaks here and there. Even if you read this before, I hope you’ll be touched once again by his story.

I’ve been studying the love of Christ, and my heart has been touched first by Scripture, and second by great thoughts from God’s people. Hope you find these truths encouraging!

There’s no nearness to God without dependence on God. We all need Jesus, every minute of every hour of every day. Here are some encouraging Scriptures I love, and I hope they speak to you.

The only appraisal of your life that will ultimately matter is God’s. One of the greatest things you can ever do is to decide that you’re not going to live for the applause of any particular group—not even well-meaning family members or friends who sometimes could get your eyes off the prize of following Jesus. 

Randy writes: "The promise of no more tears or crying is after the end of the world, after 'the old order of things has passed away' and there’s no more suffering on earth (Rev. 21:1-4)."

Randy Alcorn joined Rob West on Faith Fi: Faith and Finance show to discuss God’s view of our giving, materialism, and the importance of being generous.  

Jesus told of a servant whose debt to his master was 10,000 talents, the equivalent of millions of dollars. The servant begged forgiveness. Though the master had every right to imprison him for the rest of his life, he offered full pardon.

A big question to ask is, who do we believe ultimately controls history, and holds each of our lives? (Hint: it’s not any created being, human or otherwise. And this is such GOOD news.)

This article was sent to me by reader Charlene Nelson, who describes her journey in discovering the happiness God offers His children. Thanks, Charlene, for sharing how my book Happiness has encouraged you along the way. 

One of our church’s Sunday school teachers recently died. We would like to get some resources (book recommendations/links to helpful information) to the parents in our church to help navigate discussions, prayer time, grief, etc. What resources do you recommend?

In this video clip from his interview with Costi Hinn on For the Gospel podcast, Randy Alcorn shares an illustration of our role in stewarding all that God has given to us. 

A great deal of evidence argues for God’s existence. In my book If God Is Good, I summarize just a few of these arguments.
