Are You Weary in Life’s Race?

Last updated on: September 19, 2025 at 1:25 pm By Randy Alcorn

Life in this world—the way it is now and the way we are now—can be difficult, can’t it? It’s easy to become burdened, discouraged, depressed, or even traumatized when you suffer the loss of a loved one, when your health is failing, or when your dreams—your family, career, or lifelong ambitions—have crumbled. Perhaps you’ve become cynical or have lost hope. Some seasons of life can seem like a series of twists, turns, and dead ends. God gives each of us... Read more

Fearing God Drives Away Other Fears

Last updated on: September 19, 2025 at 1:19 pm By Randy Alcorn

Writing on Psalm 23:4 (“I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me”), Charles Spurgeon said these wonderful words: The worst evils of life are those which do not exist except in our imagination. If we had no troubles but real troubles, we should not have a tenth part of our present sorrows. We feel a thousand deaths in fearing one, but the Psalmist was cured of the disease of fearing....

That Time J. I. Packer Read from the Heaven Book

Last updated on: September 19, 2025 at 1:14 pm By Randy Alcorn

Almost five years ago, J. I. Packer, one of my favorite writers and favorite people, went to be with Jesus. There are many people I respect, but not many I’m in awe of. Dr. Packer is one of them. My life first as a child of God, and then as a pastor and writer, has been deeply affected by him. When his book Knowing God came out in 1973, I was a young Christian. God used it in my life profoundly. It... Read more

These Seven Biblical Truths Can Bring You Great Happiness

Last updated on: October 8, 2025 at 6:50 am By Randy Alcorn

In my last blog, I shared six false expectations that can diminish our happiness. So what truths should raise our expectations of happiness? Here are seven worth focusing on: 1. God’s Immeasurable Love for Us In Ephesians, Paul prays that the recipients of his letter may “have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness...

Are These False Expectations Diminishing Your Happiness?

Last updated on: September 5, 2025 at 10:18 am By Randy Alcorn

0 Comments

Most people intuitively know that our expectations profoundly affect our life experiences. Yet even as believers, we simultaneously expect too much and too little. We need to discover what we should expect less of and what merits higher expectations. That involves lowering our expectations concerning all the advantages we think life should bring us while raising our expectations concerning Christ and what He is daily accomplishing in us. Here are six false expectations—those that are not grounded in Scripture and... Read more

Will Our Spouse Still Be Important to Us in Heaven?

Last updated on: September 5, 2025 at 10:12 am By Randy Alcorn

0 Comments

One of the most frequent questions I’ve been asked about Heaven is about the nature of marriage there. As I share in my book Heaven, there will be one marriage in Heaven, not many. That marriage will be what earthly marriage symbolized and pointed to, the marriage of Christ to His bride. So we will all be married—but to Christ. Our marriage to Him is the true Marriage, of which the best of earthly marriages was a symbol and shadow.... Read more

Animals on the New Earth

In a Q&A I did on the subject of rewards, the audience asked several great questions related to generosity, rewards, and the New Earth. Someone also asked me a question which is not directly related to the subject of rewards, but is still connected to our future resurrected life: will there be animals and even our pets on the New Earth? Did you catch that comment that was said at the end about cats not going to Heaven? I have... Read more

I shared in my last blog that I had a wonderful time attending the Kingdom Advisors conference earlier this year, along with my grandson Jake. If you haven’t yet watched my interview with Ron Blue, I encourage you to do so. I think you’ll especially enjoy hearing what Ron has to share. I also had the opportunity to do a breakout session focused on eternal rewards, which is the subject of my book The Law of Rewards. Eternal rewards can... Read more

In February, I attended the Kingdom Advisors annual conference, which gathered 2,500 Christian financial professionals who influence their clients to give generously to God’s kingdom. What joy to talk, worship, and be with those who love Jesus and desire to steward resources well, to His glory! And it was especially fun for me because my grandson Jake, who’s planning to be a financial counselor, also attended so he could take part in the college program at the conference. The picture...

God Is Doing Far More Miracles Than We Realize

Last updated on: September 5, 2025 at 9:57 am By Randy Alcorn

When God drew me to faith in Christ, as a 15-year-old, my life changed radically. One of the hundreds of verses I memorized was this one: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17). The only explanation of this was nothing less than miraculous. As the next verse says, “All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself…” (v. 18). Miracles are things which God... Read more
