The Heavens Move Our Hearts to Worship the Creator

Like many people, I enjoyed hearing updates about NASA’s Artemis II, which recently completed a 10-day mission around the moon, traveling over 800,000 kilometers. The photos that commander Reid Wiseman took of the earth are stunning! (The one above is titled, “Hello World.”) I’ve especially loved all the quotes from pilot Victor Glover, who used the mission to share about his faith, saying, “We need Jesus, whether on Earth or circling the moon.” (Check out this touching video of Glover...

Christ Is Our Model for Prayer and Submitting to God’s Will

During her four-year cancer battle, Nanci and I prayed together every night, asking God to remove the cancer. We asked Him to perform a miracle, and if He didn’t do that, to use the medical means over which He is sovereign to save her life. We understood that healing was never a certainty, and also knowing full well that sometimes He chooses to heal and sometimes He doesn’t, and even when He does the healing is temporary, and death always...

My New Book All God’s Creatures, Coming This Fall

My latest book All God’s Creatures: What the Bible Says About Animals, Heaven, and the New Earth will be released from Tyndale House on November 17. It was a labor of love for the past three years—especially love for God first, and Nanci second. I dedicated the book to Nanci, saying: “To Nanci, my wife, soulmate, and best friend, now living with Jesus: Never has a woman had more love in her heart for both God and his animals. It...

One Day Everything Is Going to Be OK

It’s been almost three years since author Tim Keller entered the presence of His Lord and Savior. As is said of Abel, so it can be said of Tim: “he still speaks through his faith” (Hebrews 11:4, CSB). This video clip, and what Tim says about how the resurrection changes how we face challenges, is just so powerful: Scripture tells us that grasping the implications of the doctrine of the resurrection, and knowing that this present world will end and...

Resurrection Worked in Reverse to Make Good Friday Good

Last updated on: April 17, 2026 at 1:45 pm By Randy Alcorn

Today is “Good Friday,” commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus: “Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle” (John 19:17–18). But that torturous death of God’s Son was the single most horrible injustice in human history. So WHY do we call it Good? Why not call it Bad Friday or Horrific Friday? Because... Read more

True Happiness Is Only Found in the Last Place People Look

Jonathan Edwards said, “The enjoyment of [God] is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. . . . [These] are but shadows; but the enjoyment of God is the substance. These are but scattered beams; but God is the sun. These are but streams; but God is the fountain.” George Müller said, “I specially commend this point to the notice... Read more

What a Grieving Christian Needs to Know

Last updated on: March 30, 2026 at 3:38 pm By Randy Alcorn

In this video clip from my interview with Costi Hinn, I share the importance of grieving with hope as believers in Jesus Christ: I’ve heard it said, “There’s no wrong way to grieve.” I disagree. Certainly, there are different ways and lengths of time to grieve. We should not rebuke or lay guilt on the brokenhearted! Even knowing He would raise Lazarus, Jesus wept for and with his grieving family. The Bible says this about grief: “And now, dear brothers... Read more

The Gospel Is All about Jesus

Last updated on: March 30, 2026 at 3:29 pm By Randy Alcorn

Tragically, many reject God because of the behavior of those who profess to be God-followers. I do know many honest and loving and gracious and generous Christians. Unfortunately, you will rarely see them in newspapers and on television, and in my experience, I don’t see all that many online either. This is very sad. I believe it grieves the heart of God. How should we respond to this, when it’s brought up as an objection to the gospel? First, I... Read more

Reaching Readers Worldwide with an Eternal Perspective

The international reach of our ministry has been so much further than I ever could have imagined back when Nanci and I started Eternal Perspective Ministries in 1990. My books have now been translated into over seventy languages, and we have articles on our website in 34 languages besides English. I get excited about reaching people of every tribe and nation and language, and while of course we don’t have resources in every language, we have something to offer in... Read more

While my novel Safely Home shows some suffering in China, it’s ultimately an encouraging book, full of hope and anticipation. I want readers to see events on Earth with an eternal perspective. I pray they’ll come away with a greater love for their brothers and sisters overseas, and with a deeper sense of anticipation for Heaven. This is one of many responses to the book that our ministry has received over the years: One day a young philosophy student from... Read more
