In this interview with former NFL coach Joe Gibbs, Randy Alcorn talks about sports, art and creativity and how these are all part of us being made in the image of God.

I’m not a big fan of Halloween, but God created dogs and pumpkins and artistic people, so… I’m Randy Alcorn, and I approve these pictures.  

In this Q&A session, Randy Alcorn answered many questions about his book Heaven. In this clip, he talks about the importance of science and imagination.

First let me say that many sincere people believe in the Bible and also believe in an old earth. They do this via the gap theory or day age theory or some other means of interpretation.

So in Genesis 1, the idea is clearly that man somehow represents something of or about God, including His presence in the world and His authority. Since we know from other passages that it is not that God has arms, hands, or other bodily parts, the resemblance must be less concrete and more “essential.” None of the other creations of God (whether animal or angel) are in God’s image. We resemble His attributes as much as the material can emulate the perfect Immaterial.
