In this clip from a Q&A with youth, Randy speaks about the purpose we will live for in our resurrected bodies on the New Earth.

Randy Alcorn spoke to a group of middle school and high school students at Cornerstone youth group in Gresham, Oregon. He shares how ultimate happiness can only be found in Jesus, who calls us His friends. He and the students discuss Heaven, which is defined as where God’s throne is; and how one day Heaven and Earth will be reunited and Jesus will reign forever over a redeemed earth. Randy also answers many thoughtful questions from the students.

One day, hundreds of nations, thousands of people groups, untold millions of redeemed individuals will gather to worship Christ. As we anticipate that coming New Earth, could there be anything more important than getting God’s Word to people around the world?

We cannot anticipate or desire what we cannot imagine. That’s why, I believe, God has given us glimpses of Heaven in the Bible—to fire up our imagination and kindle a desire for Heaven in our hearts.

A reader asked our ministry, “Will people have technology in Heaven?” Technology is a God-given aspect of human capability that enables us to fulfill His command to exercise dominion.

I’m so grateful that once we’re done with this cursed earth and have our resurrected, fully redeemed bodies and minds on the New Earth there will no longer be anything negative to think about.

This wonderful message our ministry received from an 83-year-old reader made my day. I listened to it twice. What a sweet and vibrant voice, and I love her transparency. She may not remember book titles well, but she remembers the books and the message of the books!

Nanci and I always got up early to watch Wimbledon together, as it’s a 6 a.m. start here on the Pacific coast. It was her second favorite sporting event after the Super Bowl. I cannot hear the word Wimbledon without immediately thinking of Nanci.

In this second conversation with Steve Silver of Men’s Golf Fellowship, Randy shares about the differences between the present Heaven and the future Heaven, which will be on the New Earth. Because Steve’s wife Sandy and Randy’s wife Nanci are now with Jesus, they share what the hope of Heaven means to them personally.
