A friend recently sent me some amazing photos of dangerous roads. When I saw them, many of the verses below came to my mind.

Randy Alcorn answers this question in this 6 minute video while he was speaking at Harvest Christian Church, with Pastor Greg Laurie.

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.  —2 Timothy 4:6-8, ESV Paul’s letter to Timothy wasn’t the first he wrote from prison in Rome, it was his last. Final letter, final prison. The ...

Years ago, on the advice of an older and wiser Christian, I began trying to pray through the Psalms once every month. Don’t be too impressed—I seldom make it through all 150 of the psalms every 30 days. However, by making that the goal I am able to eventually ponder each one at least several times a year.

In The Knowledge of the Holy, a book that profoundly impacted me when I came to Christ as a teenager, Tozer speaks of the attributes of God, including those we’re tempted to minimize. Whether we affirm the holiness and justice of God—and the doctrine of Hell, which is inseparable from them—may be the biggest test of whether the Bible or our culture is our true authority.

Princess Diana once said, “Only do what your heart tells you.” This is a creed believed by millions. It’s a statement of faith in one of the great pop cultural myths of the Western world. It’s a gospel proclaimed in many of our stories, movies, and songs.

I have the greatest appreciation for Nancy Leigh DeMoss and Revive Our Hearts. It is my joy to have known Nancy for many years. I deeply respect her and the way she lives out the grace and truth of Jesus.

On my Facebook page, someone asked: "Randy, you often mention that you and Nanci have been to a movie. I'm curious about what kind and rating of movies you attend."

Question from a reader: Can a Christian be demon possessed? I have a friend who is convinced that demons are hanging out in her house and taunting her. She seems drawn to the mystical and occult much more than to Christ. I want to show her that, if she's truly in Christ (which she may not be), that she has nothing to fear. B. T.

Randy Alcorn speaks at a memorial service for his  friend Bill Moon.

Revive Our Hearts, a great ministry that my daughters and a number of our ministry staff have benefited from, recently posted a link on Facebook to this two-minute video about finding time to read your Bible.

Few Christian families have received as much national media attention and caused as much debate among people (even some believers) as the Duggar family. They are featured on the TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting.

Matthew 18 says “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone”? If someone disagrees with something I’ve written, I certainly don’t view him as having sinned against me.

I always enjoy J.I. Packer. I read this in his book Great Joy, and as I meditated on it, I thought of Colossians 1:29: "For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me."
