In my experience, when I have followed the Lord step by step, He has provided the courage I needed in increments. He’s the one who tells us, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

If God Exists, Won’t He Need to Apologize to Us for Making Us Live in a World of Suffering?

article - Doreen Button Randy's blog

Those who choose to follow Jesus instead of their own path enjoy the peace and freedom of living the way He made us to live. And one day they will receive what they want most: life with Him on the New Earth where all the old bad stuff will be wiped away.

Four Reasons Christians Distinguish Between Happiness and Joy

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

The idea that joy and happiness are synonyms can be radical to many readers. In response to a post I shared about happiness, a sincerely concerned person wrote me, “Joy, peace, and contentment do not equal happiness.” To some, the difference between the two words is as central as believing in the deity of Christ or the resurrection!

We’re called to a life of endurance empowered by Christ, and accompanied by joyful thanksgiving. Endurance requires patience, because reward for today’s right choices will come, but it may be months or years from now, or not until we leave this world.

Meet Dr. Mildred Jefferson, First Black Woman to Graduate from Harvard Medical School and a Passionate ProLife Advocate

Dr. Jefferson’s voice is timeless, and she needs to be heard today more than ever. Her message is pro–child, pro–woman, pro-African-American, and just plain pro-human. I wept at the eloquence and above all the truth and power of her words. Just listen and I think you’ll see why.

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

Bringing everyone the “good news of happiness” about Jesus shouldn’t be seen as a grim duty, but as a sheer delight and a privilege. After all, the gospel is the best news there has ever been or ever will be!
