All Resources

Jesus indicated that not just some but all of His followers must turn away from various forms of wealth that get in the way of following Him, whether that wealth comes in the form of money, property, security, family, prestige, or popularity. Short-term rewards and eternal ones await anyone who follows Christ. The life we obtain far surpasses anything we leave behind.

Randy was interviewed on The Thinking Out Loud Podcast with Kevin and Kyle. In their conversation, which centers around Randy's book If God Is Good, they discuss evil and suffering, faith, healing and much more. 

It's important to remember there is a big distinction between animals and people, even when it comes to euthanasia. Human beings are uniquely made in God’s image and although animals are a beloved creation, they are not.

A friend shared a quote on social media that said, “Banning abortion is banning equality. Men break condoms, have one-night stands with strangers, change their mind about parenthood, etc. Forcing a woman to follow-through while men are incapable of the same physical accountability is the epitome of sexism.” Can you provide some solid resources to help me respond?

It might be helpful to explore deeper into why you feel afraid to meet Jesus. Is there fear that Jesus will reject you? Do you wonder if He won’t welcome you? That seeing Him will be frightening somehow?

I hope these words from Alex Cravens, a dad and youth pastor from Russellville, Arkansas, encourage you as a parent or grandparent. May we be faithful to rise to the challenge of these times and point the next generation to Jesus. 

I shared the following notes with a pastor friend who was preparing a message addressing sexual immorality and gender confusion. It’s a different approach, a verse by verse brief commentary on a passage.

Here’s another wonderful excerpt from Dane Ortlund’s book Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers, this one focusing on Jesus as our advocate. “We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). 

"There’s a scene in the Chronicles of Narnia where the young Shasta and Aravis are being pursued through valleys and over ridges by wicked men. Their horses (Narnian talking horses) were running as fast as they could to get away—or so they thought—until the Great Lion also begins chasing them from close range. Suddenly they discover a new gear."

Randy Alcorn speaks at his home church, Good Shepherd Community Church about heaven and the new earth.

Randy was interviewed by his local church, Good Shepherd, for their annual Global Outreach weekend. He shares some of his family's experiences visiting missionaries.

Pro-life advocates in Portland, Oregon celebrated a long-fought effort to save unborn babies from abortions in their city this summer after a nearly 50-year-old abortion facility closed.

I just love this story my friend Larry Gadbaugh, CEO of First Image (which oversees Portland’s Pregnancy Resource Centers) tells in one of his recent letters.

I enjoy reading the insights of pastors and others who live in other cultures in different parts of the world. I really appreciated this fresh and thoughtful article by Chopo Mwanza, the pastor of Faith Baptist Church Riverside in Kitwe, Zambia.
