In April 2017, Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Life Impact on the subjects of Heaven and Happiness. In this clip, Randy talks about why it's hard for humans to understand the reality of Hell.

Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Greg Laurie of Harvest Fellowship Church in Riverside, California. on the subjects of Easter, money, happiness and living life now so that it echoes in eternity.

Reading this book was a pleasure; it’s biblical, challenging and refreshing. Jaquelle’s heart comes across clearly, her theology is strong, and what she says about church is desperately needed.

Before I started Eternal Perspective Ministries, I served as a pastor for 14 years. When I was in the ministry, I found myself spending a great deal of time ministering to dying people and comforting their families. People look to pastors for guidance, help, and perspective during difficult times of life.

In its broadest sense, with the good news of salvation remaining at the core, the Gospel is a full embodiment of the person and work of Christ in His church, and the full revelation of God’s Word. It is both declaring and living out the whole counsel of God.

Frank Laubach wrote, "Humble folks often believe that walking with God is above their heads, or that they may 'lose a good time' if they share all their joys with Christ. What a tragic misunderstanding to regard Him as a killer of happiness!"

What things are truly worth our limited time and concentrated focus, because they’re not going to be thrown onto the next pile of trash or tossed into the thrift store donation box?

 The word translated “distracted” means “to be drawn about in different directions.” We are not distracted to something, but away from something. 

Life can be hard in very real and different ways. While our problems may be many and varied, there is one main solution: Jesus. And Jesus—no one and nothing else—is at the heart of Christmas. 

Biblical meditation doesn’t mean taking a few words taken out of context that we feel free to apply to our own lives in whatever random ways come to mind. We need to view the Bible as God coherently speaking to us in trains of thought. He is a master communicator, so He chose the words carefully.

I appreciate these challenging words from J. I. Packer about what it means to truly have a God-honoring “Christmas Spirit.”
