Nanci and I always got up early to watch Wimbledon together, as it’s a 6 a.m. start here on the Pacific coast. It was her second favorite sporting event after the Super Bowl. I cannot hear the word Wimbledon without immediately thinking of Nanci.

Randy and Greg Laurie have a conversation about how investing in others' success during playing sports can be a preview of Heaven.

In 2019, Randy Alcorn was interviewed on the topic of Heaven by the Senior Pastor at Crossroads Christian Church in Grand Prairie, Texas. In this clip he talks about playing sports in Heaven and why it will be much better than playing them on Earth.

Where did sports come from? Who gave us the ingenuity to even create them as human beings? Clearly it is from God. We are made in His image. Satan did not come up with the idea of sports.

1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us, “When you eat or drink, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” If you watch or participate in sports, do it for the glory of God.

In this interview with former NFL coach Joe Gibbs, Randy Alcorn talks about how God's Word, in the hands of His Holy Spirit, has the power to transform lives. But our sanctification can only go so far if we are not listening to and studying God's Word.
