At times, life throws us challenges. Sometimes those challenges can lead us to a dark, maybe depressive, place; however, this devotional challenges us to rely on the One who created us for a specific reason. 90 Days of God's Goodness by Randy Alcorn is another great devotional with daily reflections that shine light on personal darkness.

I appreciated this writing by Oswald Chambers, a Scottish minister and teacher whose teachings were compiled in the classic devotional My Utmost for His Highest.

The apostle John says we know what God’s love is because of the unthinkable price Jesus paid for us, to turn us into God’s own children, fully acceptable in his sight. God’s love abounds.

Gratitude never comes from avoiding difficulty, but from finding yourself sustained through it. 

I have written about Hell in a number of my books, both nonfiction and fiction. It is an unpleasant subject, one which modern Christians are tempted to avoid and deny.

In this 46-minute interview, Randy Alcorn talks with Tricia Goyer on the Living Inspired (LIVE) Radio show. Commercial breaks and transitions have been edited out.

My pastor Dan Franklin (who’s the husband of our daughter Karina) gave an outstanding message based on John 11.
