Note from Randy: I wrote this to the men in a study group I led, based on Dallas Willard’s book, Spirit of the Disciplines.

Two segments from the novel Safely Home, by Randy Alcorn

I heard a pastor make a startling confession: “Whenever I think about heaven, it makes me depressed. I’d rather just cease to exist when I die.”

The place we’ll live forever will be where God comes down to dwell with us, on the New Earth (Revelation 21:1-3).

This world is the closest thing to heaven unbelievers will ever experience, and the closest thing to hell believers will ever know. 

When our daughters were considering a college, we told them, “Judge everything you hear by the Word of God, like the Bereans in Acts 17:11.”

I would like to see a church become so godly, so Spirit-filled that it would have a spiritual influence on all of the churches in the entire area.

From Lord Foulgrin’s Letters, a novel by Randy Alcorn
(inspired by C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters)

While he was United States Surgeon General, Dr. C. Everett Koop stated publicly that in his thirty-eight years as a pediatric surgeon, he was never aware of a single situation in which a preborn child’s life had to be taken in order to save the life of the mother. He said the use of this argument to justify abortion in general was a “smoke screen.”

We must begin by recognizing that as long as God is God and we are his creatures, there must be some unanswered prayers. This is because God keeps hidden his own wise plans for the future, and even though people pray, many events will not come about until the time that God has decreed.

The “Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy” was produced at an international Summit Conference of evangelical leaders, held at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Chicago in the fall of 1978.

If someone has a dream or desire on this earth that is of God, that means there is nothing inherently evil or sinful about this desire. Then what would prevent him from seeing this desire fulfilled on the New Earth? Not lack of time or opportunity or capacity, certainly.

I believe it comes down to a form of denial that is based upon protecting oneself from considering that as a Christian one may have been part of abortion promotion by means of a prescription.
