Does the Message of Finding Happiness in God Really Fit with Christ’s Call to Take up Our Crosses?

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
When God calls upon us to deny ourselves and follow Him, what appears to be our loss is in fact our gain. Should we want to gain our lives or lose our lives? Losing our lives in Christ is the means to the end of joyfully gaining them!

A Spirit of Entitlement Is One of the Greatest Enemies of True Happiness

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
Though all of us, if asked, might say that we don’t have any more right to a perfect and pain-free life than the next person, in our own hearts and minds, we tend to believe that we do. So, when forced to suffer, even mature believers can feel driven to question God’s motives.

William Wilberforce Encourages Us to Look to Jesus, and Be Happy

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
One of my great heroes is William Wilberforce. He is credited as the primary human agent to bring about the end of slavery in England. He wrote, “The gospel freely admitted makes a man happy. It gives him peace with God, and makes him happy in God.”

How Can the Happiness of Heaven Touch Our Lives Today?

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
I’ve read books on happiness stressing that we must be happy right here and now, living in the moment, because this is our one and only chance. How sad! Thankfully, God says otherwise.

Are Happiness and Holiness Exclusive?

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
To be holy is to see God as He is and to become like Him, covered in Christ’s righteousness. And since God’s nature is to be happy, the more like Him we become in our sanctification, the happier we will be.

How Does Idolatry Kill Our Happiness?

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
An idol is anything we praise, celebrate, fixate on, and look to for help that’s not the true God. That covers a lot of ground. Idolatry isn’t just wrong—it fails miserably in bringing the lasting happiness it promises.

Is God Happy?

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
To be godly is to resemble God. If God were unhappy, we’d need to pursue unhappiness, which sounds as fun as cultivating an appetite for gravel. Fortunately, however, God doesn’t condemn or merely tolerate our desire to be happy; He gave us that longing.

Are We Hardwired for Happiness?

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
It’s not too late to convey this message of Christ-centered happiness to our children and grandchildren and churches. Since they long for happiness, it’s a message they desperately need to hear. 

Is There a Conflict Between Joy and Happiness?

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
As part of a study related to my Happiness book, I recorded a series of videos, 10 to 20 minutes each, on the subject of happiness in Christ. I’ll be sharing all six videos, one at a time over the course of the next few blogs. Here’s the first video in the series, titled, “Happiness vs Joy: The Conflict.”

The Glad Heart of Jesus

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, preached a prototype gospel message, asserting three times the happiness of the one who is at the center of the gospel—Jesus. Yet how many people, unbelievers and believers alike, have ever heard a modern gospel message that makes this point? 

Happiness Bible Study Videos

video - Eternal Perspective Ministries
Randy Alcorn filmed six 15- to 20-minute teaching sessions to be used in conjunction with the Happiness Bible Study Book.

How Can Enjoying Happiness in God’s Creation Draw Us to God?

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
The better I know Jesus, the more I see Him all around me—in people, animals, places, and objects. But if I hadn’t studied His Word and reflected on His character over the years, I wouldn’t have known what to look for.

Where Does Happiness Originate?

video - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog
Some people suppose happiness is uniquely human, unrelated to God’s nature: as He gave us a body and hunger, which He doesn’t have, He gave us a capacity for happiness, which He also doesn’t have. I believe something radically different—that God wants us happy because He’s happy!
