Our Time Aboard Operation Mobilization’s Ship, Logos Hope

Last updated on: August 3, 2017 at 6:12 am By Randy Alcorn

Earlier this month, Nanci and I returned from a trip to Jamaica, where I spoke at a conference with OM Ships International, centering on the wonderful ministry of the current ship Logos Hope. Here’s a video of our welcome onboard when we arrived with others from the conference to visit the ship. Following the conference we were privileged to spend five nights on Logos Hope. I’ve written before about the ship, but wanted to share more after we experienced this ministry firsthand. We went to nearly... Read more

Creativity, Theology, the New Earth, and This Year’s Canvas Conference (It’s Not Too Late to Register!)

Last updated on: July 21, 2017 at 9:19 pm By Randy Alcorn

I highly recommend you attend or send someone to the Canvas Conference coming up August 11-12, in Portland, Oregon. I spoke at last year’s conference, and it was incredibly refreshing to see young creatives assemble in a place where God was exalted, sound doctrine elevated, and the local church uplifted. This is a great and unique conference on both creativity and theology: We want those attending the Canvas Conference to walk away better artist-theologians and better theologian-artists. Through our time together, we... Read more

Does Talking About Treasures in Heaven Encourage Legalistic Living?

Last updated on: July 19, 2017 at 11:40 am By Randy Alcorn

This week the revised and updated version of my book The Treasure Principle was released. It includes much new material, plus an added chapter and a bonus section addressing frequently asked questions about how to live generously in everyday life. Every paragraph has been carefully edited and updated to make the book more relevant and useful to readers in their journey of generosity. As I’ve shared before, The Treasure Principle is a book that has shocked me (surprised isn’t strong enough) in the response it has generated. It has sold... Read more

Thanking God for 10 Million Books Sold, and for His Amazing Grace in Changing Lives

Last updated on: July 12, 2017 at 1:31 pm By Randy Alcorn

Over the years, I’ve often thought about the power of brief encouraging words spoken to us and by us. When I was a student at Multnomah Bible College, one of my favorite theology professors, Dr. Joseph Wong, scratched on my term paper: “You should consider being a writer.” I took it to heart, and over 40 years later I’m still grateful. In the ‘70s, I began writing magazine articles, including for Moody Monthly and Eternity, two then-popular Christian magazines. As a pastor in the ’80s,... Read more

Does Our Marriage to Christ in Heaven Mean Our Earthly Marriage Partners Won’t Be Important to Us?

Last updated on: June 28, 2017 at 4:21 pm By Randy Alcorn

One of the most frequent questions I’ve been asked about Heaven over the years 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... Read more

Christ-Centered Stewardship in a Consumer-Driven Culture: An Interview about Money and Giving

Last updated on: June 28, 2017 at 4:18 pm By Randy Alcorn

Today’s blog is from an interview I did with Joshua Becker, which was originally posted on the Unitive. Joshua Becker: For over 25 years, you have been writing and speaking, inviting the church to live out Christ’s teachings on money and possessions. Based on your experience, what are some of the most dangerous misconceptions the American Church believes about money? Randy Alcorn: I believe the most dangerous misconception is the idea our money and possessions belong to us, not God. Many of... Read more

Last updated on: July 4, 2017 at 6:18 am By Randy Alcorn

Inerrancy will largely determine whether we trust God’s Word or trust ourselves or the current drift of our culture. Read more
