Over the last two weekends (and trailing into the wee hours of this morning!), Jenni and I listened to three more outstanding audio books by Randy Alcorn: Deadline, Dominion, and Deception. They’re like modern Sherlock Holmes novels that deal in an edifying way with issues like abortion, racism, and faith and challenge readers to live in light of eternity.

I used the phrase “technological Corinth” in 1985 when I published my first book, Christians in the Wake of the Sexual Revolution (now out of print). Corinth was the immoral city in the first century, and 1 and 2 Corinthians refer to all the immorality in the church’s midst. 

I’m often asked why I use the term “Elyon” in reference to God in my novels. Though I am comfortable making up names for men and angels for the purposes of fiction, I would not presume to make up a name for God. 

Randy Alcorn answers the question, "Which of your books has sold the most?"

In this one-hour sermon, Randy Alcorn speaks on the treasure principle and how giving can transform our lives, at Solid Rock Church, September 12, 2010.

Recently I was working on a book project that involved my reading through messages Charles Spurgeon preached on Heaven. I was delighted to come across a passage in which he affirms some of the same teachings I lay out in my books The Treasure Principle and Money, Possessions and Eternity. 

My friend Justin Taylor recently posted this on his excellent blog, one of my favorites. I also enjoy Tim Challies's blog, which Justin refers to. Here are some important thoughts about thinking and the Christian life.

Some audio clips from the Barlow Choir Reunion honoring Bob Barber.

I tire of the incessant church-bashing and endless tales of people disillusioned with their churches. Yes, Christians can be jerks, and we’ve all had rough times in churches, largely because they consist of people too much like us: sinner-jerks in need of grace and truth and growth.

From time to time I like to review books on my blog. Who Made God?: Searching for a Theory of Everything is a book that offers ideas and insights most of us have never pondered.

Good general book on Bible prophecy, includes Revelation but also other portions of Scripture; from a dispensational framework, like Joel Rosenberg’s The Last Days.

People are different. Anyone with a tendency toward violence—and certainly that can be furthered by watching violence—should NOT watch shows with violence. 

Perhaps Randy carefully chose the word “renounce,” in that typically it has a meaning of “verbally proclaiming a completely severed relationship with another entity” (person, people, “the creation,” etc.).
