God Is Preparing a Place for His Children—and Eagerly Awaits Their Arrival Home

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Years ago, knowing our children were coming, Nanci and I prepared a place for them. We chose the room, picked out the right wallpaper, decorated and set up the crib just so, selected the perfect blankets. The quality of the place we prepared for our daughters was limited only by our skills and resources and imaginations.

Why “Happy New Year” Wishes Can Be Realistic or Unrealistic

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

If by “Happy New Year!” we mean that all our problems are about to end with 2020, we’re being unrealistic. But if by “Happy New Year!” we mean that we can choose to be centered on Jesus and happy in Him no matter what this new year brings, that is not blind optimism; it is biblical realism.

It’s become increasingly popular for people to share their “de-conversion stories,” talking about how they moved from belief in Christ and the Bible to a design-it-yourself type of spirituality, or even out right atheism.

Is It Important for Married Couples to Have Bible Study and Prayer Together, and If So, How Should We Go About It?

article - Randy Alcorn

Nanci and I pray together every night at bedtime, with pretty much no exceptions. We both are in the Word during the day, but usually at different times and places. We seek to share what we’re learning, and it's rich when we do, but it’s also true there is nothing like devotions together as a couple.

Sending Hope to the Hopeless: Books for Prisoners

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Our ministry received this note a few days ago from a prisoner we sent one of my books to. In his letter, he mentioned his birth date, which is six months to the day after my youngest daughter Angela’s. It touched me to think of how different people’s lives turn out.

Because Jesus Offered Himself for Us, We Won’t Find No Vacancy Signs in Heaven

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Human logic says the King of kings should have been born in a palace, surrounded by luxury. Instead, the only door open to the humble Savior was a dirty stable. Amazingly, and revealingly, this was all by God’s design.

Jesus lived under the curse and was subject to human sufferings. He sympathizes with our weaknesses and became subject to them—including the exhaustion, the weariness, the sadness.

When You’re So Depressed You Don't Want to Be Around Others...and What to Do If You Have Suicidal Feelings

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Christians certainly aren’t immune to depression and suicidal thoughts. I have known depression first-hand at different times in my life. Several years ago, for no apparent reason, a cloud of depression descended on me.

What Is the Meaning of 1 Timothy 2:15, “But Women Will Be Saved through Childbearing”?

article - Randy Alcorn

This is a big question in the center of a big debate that I don’t think can be answered from just one perspective, including John Piper’s. He makes a strong case, as does Henry Alford whom he cites. This portion, I think, is particularly strong.

article - Randy Alcorn

For those who love Jesus, your relationship is not ended but interrupted by death, and will resume. Once it does, in the presence of Jesus, it will never be interrupted again.

What About Asking, “If It’s Not Alive, Why Do You Have to Kill It?” in Conversations About Abortion?

article - Stephanie Anderson

Sadly, as Randy notes in the book, the pro-choice movement now sometimes (or even often) acknowledges that the unborn are living and growing. But the idea is that unborn children aren’t people.

Did Jesus’ Resurrection Take Satan by Surprise?

article - Randy Alcorn

Great question. On the one hand, given not only the Old Testament prophecies but also the direct statements of Jesus to the disciples regarding His coming resurrection, you would think the devil would have not been surprised.
