Randy Alcorn shares some thoughts for The Seed Company on the importance of God's Word in the heart language.

Randy had a conversation with his son-in-law Dan Franklin at their church, looking at what Proverbs 5 has to say about purity. 

What may, at this moment, seem like it didn’t turn out may, because you were obedient regardless of the consequences, have far-reaching and positive outcomes you won’t know about until you’re in Jesus’ presence.

In this clip from his Q&A with Baylor University, Randy talks about what books he is currently reading and studying, and shares what books he read as a young Christian and which classic Christian authors he recommends reading. 

In this clip from his Q&A with Baylor University, Randy talks about being careful of the good distractions in life, as well as shares cautions about entertainment and instant information, which can easily take up too much of our time.

In this clip from his Q&A with Baylor University, Randy shares about how he learned to say “No” to the vast majority of great things, so that he can say “Yes” to the small number of things that God really wants him to do with the limited resources he has.  

I love Josh and Sean McDowell, and I also love how as father and son they have teamed up in such remarkable, eternity-impacting ways. Listen to what Sean has to say in this article about how God has used doubt in his life, for great good (including impacting tens of thousands of people through his books, writings, and podcasts!).

In this clip from his Q&A with Baylor University, Randy shares about trusting God, and the importance of looking at Jesus’ suffering to learn how God cares about us and our own suffering.

In this clip from his Q&A with Baylor University, Randy shares about his wife Nanci going to be with Jesus, grieving well, and biblical lessons learned in loss, as well as getting back to speaking and writing. 

Randy speaks about Heaven, which will one day be forever located on the New Earth. God’s Word promises us what we can look forward to for eternity: a permanent renewal of the original good creation, and liberation from all of the dysfunctions of the fall. 

It is very normal for us to give something to the Lord and then take it back and keep being anxious about it.  Our sanctification can be seen when each time we grab it back, we more quickly hand it back to the Lord. 

Randy had a Zoom Q&A Meeting with Baylor University students who read The Treasure Principle as a class.

Randy was on a panel speaking about suffering and walking through the difficult things in life. He answers several questions and shares his experiences and truths from Scripture 

There are a lot of people who think that warnings and commands of Scripture are restrictive, hampering our freedom. But as a loving father, God builds boundaries to protect us from sin and from our lack of wisdom.
