Can We Only Worship God on Our Knees?

Can We Only Worship God on Our Knees?

video - Randy Alcorn

Wayne Grudem in his "Systematic Theology" wonders why so many Christians insist on understanding the descriptions of Heaven symbolically. In this clip Randy Alcorn quotes Grudem to make the point that enjoying things like eating and drinking, bike rides, etc. in this life are not wrong. So why would it be wrong to do those things in the life to come? Will we spend every moment in Heaven worshiping God on our knees? Or can we ride bikes in Heaven to the glory of God just as we can here on this earth. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

When "Eating and Drinking" in Heaven is Over-Spiritualized

When "Eating and Drinking" in Heaven is Over-Spiritualized

video - Randy Alcorn

In other clips, Randy Alcorn points to our aversion to thinking we will really eat and drink in Heaven, but here Randy shows an example of the over-spiritualization of eating and drinking from the NLT translation of Luke 14:15. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Why Life Now Matters

Why Life Now Matters

video - Randy Alcorn

It is easy to think what we do on this earth doesn't matter because Heaven is unearthly. But Randy Alcorn suggests that our whole perspective on the importance of things now changes when we understand the reality of the New Earth. Suddenly, things in this life such as trees, laughter and service matter because this life is the beginning of a life that will continue without end on the New Earth. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Six Eternal Truths to Remember Each Day

article - Randy Alcorn Randy's blog

The trend today is to focus not on our eternal future (who cares about the “sweet bye and bye”?) but our present circumstances, as if this world were our home.

Individual Selves Worth Saving

Individual Selves Worth Saving

video - Randy Alcorn

We shouldn't think that in Heaven we will lose our individuality and be absorbed into some mystical "All" as Buddhism believes. To make this point, Randy Alcorn quotes Bruce Milne who asserts that the individual selves that were worth God saving through Christ will continue in the life to come. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Revelation 21:1 - "There Was No Longer Any Sea."

Revelation 21:1 - "There Was No Longer Any Sea."

video - Randy Alcorn

What does it mean that there will no longer be any sea? Randy Alcorn quotes Charles Spurgeon who asserts that this must have a spiritual meaning. The sea separates nations and to the ancients it was fearsome. It represented danger and death. So in the world to come there will be no division or danger like the sea represented. We shouldn't interpret it as "How sad - no more fun times at the beach." This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

What Will the Economic System Be on the New Earth?

What Will the Economic System Be on the New Earth?

video - Randy Alcorn

Though there is nothing specific in Scripture to answer this question, Randy Alcorn validates the possibility of some type of economy. It's clear that people will be productive and that everyone will be provided for in God's Kingdom. But we do not know what system the Lord will use. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Will Heaven Have Streets of Gold Like the New Jerusalem?

Will Heaven Have Streets of Gold Like the New Jerusalem?

video - Randy Alcorn

Randy Alcorn explains that Scripture doesn't give us many details about things outside of the New Jerusalem. But it does seem to indicate that there are many nations and many people on the the New Earth living outside the New Jerusalem. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Heaven: Our Perfect Country, City, Home

Heaven: Our Perfect Country, City, Home

video - Randy Alcorn

Heaven is described in Scripture as a country, a city and our home. But we often transfer our negative feelings toward these three things in this life onto our concept of heaven. In this video Randy Alcorn encourages us to not let our present understandings color our view of heaven. Heaven will be perfect - all of the good with none of the bad. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.
