Real gold fears no fire.
Randy Alcorn
Sin and death and suffering and war and poverty are not natural—they are the devastating results of our rebellion against God. We long for a return to Paradise—a perfect world, without the corruption of sin, where God walks with us and talks with us in the cool of the day.
Randy Alcorn
The repentant man rightfully loses trust in himself. He recognizes his self-dependence as the source of his problems, not the solution.
Randy Alcorn
Cheap grace replaces truth with tolerance, lowering the bar so everyone can jump over it and we can all feel good about ourselves.
Randy Alcorn
Heaven isn't an extrapolation of earthly thinking Earth is an extension of Heaven, made by the Creator King.
Randy Alcorn
Teach your children gratefulness. Do all you can to deliver them from our culture's poisonous entitlement mentality.
Randy Alcorn
There's only one requirement for enjoying God's grace: being broke . . . and knowing it.
Randy Alcorn
If you're a child of God, you do not just go around once on Earth. You don't get just one earthly life. You get another-one far better and without end. You'll inhabit the New Earth! You'll live with the God you cherish and the people you love as an undying person on an undying Earth.

In the midst of prosperity, the challenge for believers is to handle wealth in such a way that it acts as a blessing, not a curse.
Randy Alcorn
Wealth is a relational barrier. It keeps us from having open relationships.

Sin and death and suffering and war and poverty are not natural—they are the devastating results of our rebellion against God. We long for a return to Paradise—a perfect world, without the corruption of sin, where God walks with us and talks with us in the cool of the day.

Give more as you make more. Remember: God prospers us not to raise our standard of living, but to raise our standard of giving.
Randy Alcorn
Give regularly. Stewardship is not a once-a-year consideration, but a week-to-week, month-to-month commitment requiring discipline and consistency.
Randy Alcorn
Worry is momentary atheism crying out for correction by trust in a good, sovereign God. Suffering breaks self-reliance.
Randy Alcorn
A nominal Christian often discovers in suffering that his faith has been in his church, denomination, or family tradition, but not Christ. As he faces evil and suffering, he may lose his faith. But that’s actually a good thing. I have sympathy for people who lose their faith, but any faith lost in suffering wasn’t a faith worth keeping.
Randy Alcorn
Whenever I see an unmarried woman carrying a child, my first response is one of respect. I know she could have taken the quick fix without anyone knowing, but she chose instead to let an innocent child live.
Randy Alcorn
By trusting Christ's redemptive work for us, we can enter into what we long for: the happiness found only in God.
Randy Alcorn
This is one of the great paradoxes of suffering. Those who don't suffer much think suffering should keep people from God, while many who suffer a great deal turn to God, not from him.
Randy Alcorn
Materialism is a fruitless attempt to find meaning outside of God. When we try to find ultimate fulfillment in a person other than Christ or a place other than heaven, we become idolaters. According to Scripture, materialism is not only evil it is tragic and pathetic.
Randy Alcorn
God gives us abundant material blessing so that we can give it away, and give it generously.
Randy Alcorn
