Heaven, Happiness, and the Holiday Season: An Interview with Pastor Greg Laurie and Randy Alcorn

video November 26, 2019
In this video, Randy Alcorn and Pastor Greg Laurie discuss Heaven, happiness and the holiday season at Harvest Christian Church in Riverside, CA.

Is It Possible to Be Happy in Christ Despite Suffering?

article November 25, 2019
The happiness described in Scripture is all the richer because it doesn’t involve denial or pretense and can be experienced amid severe difficulty. Christ-followers don’t preach the flimsy kind of happiness that’s built on wishful thinking. Instead, our basis for happiness remains true—and sometimes becomes clearer—in suffering.

God’s Unchanging Character Means He Is Always Good, No Matter Our Circumstances

article November 15, 2019
Reminding yourself of God’s unchanging character and love and faithfulness is critical to being able to rise above the adversity of circumstances that seem to change like the weather.

Modern Research about Happiness Repeatedly Parallels Biblical Principles

article September 25, 2019
Though in my books on happiness I emphasize an understanding of happiness based on the Bible, theology, and church history, I’ve also read a dozen or so secular books on happiness. Many writers document remarkable discoveries about happiness that conform to biblical teachings—though few appear to realize the connection.

Christ Is the Unshakeable Foundation for Our Happiness—But It’s Also Good to Rejoice in Positive Life Circumstances

article September 9, 2019
Positive life circumstances can prompt deep and emotional joy and happiness, and it’s OK to express that, as long as we remember that our ultimate happiness isn’t based on them. Speaking of good news: right now Nanci and I are rejoicing over some very positive news related to her health.

Lasting Happiness Will Never Be Found in Sin

article August 28, 2019
It’s common to blame the world’s suffering and unhappiness on lack of education, opportunity, or resources. If only we knew more or had more, we’d surely be better. No. Our most basic problem is just . . . sin.

True Happiness Begins with Knowing God

article August 7, 2019
Human history is the story of our desperate search for true and lasting happiness. Even those people who appear to “have it all” long for something more, and sadly, they often give up hope of ever finding contentment and joy.

If I’m Struggling to Find Happiness as a Christian, Does That Mean I’m Lacking Holiness?

article July 22, 2019
In Randy's book Happiness, he writes that “True holiness always manifests itself in authentic happiness.” Is the reverse true? If I’m struggling with happiness, perhaps holiness is lacking in my life?

Doesn’t God Being Happy with Himself, and Seeking His Own Glory, Seem Smug or Self-Centered?

article July 15, 2019
In my books and on my blog, I’ve written about the happiness of God. But some might ask, “Humans who are happy with themselves are often considered arrogant and self-obsessed. So how can it be a compliment to say that God is happy with Himself?”

Seek the Giver, Not the Gift?

article July 5, 2019
Suppose I said to my wife, “Nanci, I love you. Therefore I will not love the meals you cook, the books you gave me, the Christmas presents from you, or the vacation we went on.”
