Question from a reader: You say in your book that people in Heaven can witness events happening on earth. But what about Isaiah 65:17, which says in heaven “the former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind”? Whatever this verse means, it specifically comes after the New Heavens and New Earth, not before. Hence, it has no bearing at all on the question of whether saints presently in heaven can witness events happening on earth.

I agree it would be better to say “Last Adam” and I will be making this change in a future edition to eliminate any confusion.

A play based on Randy Alcorn's book, Safely Home.

The word “infinite,” in Christian theology, has meant “without limit.” “Eternal” means everlasting, without end.

If there is a plane crash in which all 345 passengers die isn’t it accurate to say “Many died in that plane crash”? (If Christ died for everyone, for billions of people, that certainly qualifies as many.) Now if someone said, “many, but not all, died in that plane crash” that would be different.

Without a doubt, in terms of their global impact the two most significant countries on the planet are China and the United States. As recent events have shown, the countries have a profoundly uneasy relationship. Safely Home is a tale of two countries, embodied in two men, Ben Fielding and Li Quan. These characters and their families came alive for me, and I pray they will for readers too.

A person may know all the facts of the Bible and believe them to be true and still spend eternity in Hell. A person may believe that God exists, that Jesus lived, died, and was resurrected from the dead. A person can be very religious and still not know Christ.

Sally Jenkins of the Washington Post wrote a thoughtful, honest and refreshingly sane rebuttal to the bitter and intolerant outcry against the Tebow commercial that will run during the Super Bowl.

God does not compel anyone–He offers. He has made sure that all know that He exists, and He has provided the answers for all those who seek.

I wrote it because I wanted readers to see that at the heart of life is the choice of what we believe. 

Because the inspired writers chose their words to communicate meaning to specific audiences, the interpreter seeks to understand the text as it would most likely have been understood by its original readers

Heaven isn’t a place of confusion, but clarity.

The most challenging nonfiction has been Heaven. The most challenging fiction has been Dominion.

We have so emphasized the idea of never acting in our own self-interest, that we ignore the continuous appeals of Scripture to be motivated by the fact that following our Lord is not only right, but smart. And sin is not only wrong, but stupid.
