Inspirational Quotes by Randy Alcorn
“Now think, my brother, you will be in Heaven very soon. Since last year a great number have gone home: before next year many more will have ascended to glory. Sitting up in those celestial seats, how shall we wish that we had lived below?” —Charles Spurgeon”
“When we fail to acknowledge God as the Source of all good things, we fail to give Him the recognition and glory He deserves. We separate God from joy, which is like trying to separate heat from fire or wetness from rain.”
“We don’t believe ‘in the power of prayer,’ but in our all-powerful God who empowers our inherently powerless prayers.” —Burk Parsons”
“If I promised you a new car, would you say, “If it’s new, it probably won’t have an engine, a transmission, doors, wheels, or windows”? No, you’d never make such assumptions. Why? Because if a new car didn’t have these things, it wouldn’t be a car. Likewise, when Scripture speaks of a new Earth (2 Peter 3, and Revelation 21), we can expect that it will be a far better version of the old Earth, but it will truly be Earth.”
“The fear of God is the death of every other fear; like a mighty lion, it chases all other fears before it.” —Charles Spurgeon”
“Christ is the desire of nations, the joy of angels, the delight of the Father. What solace then must that soul be filled with, that has the possession of Him to all eternity!” —John Bunyan”
“If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.” —David Brainerd”
“We can’t take material things with us when we die, but we do take our friendships to Heaven, and one day they’ll be renewed.”
― Randy Alcorn ,
from Heaven
“There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, ‘All right, then, have it your way.’” —C. S. Lewis”
“The circumstances surrounding our lives are no accident: they may be the work of evil, but that evil is held firmly within the mighty hand of our sovereign”
“God does something to us as well as for us through the cross. He persuades us that He loves us.” —Sinclair Ferguson”
“The thing that awakens the deepest well of gratitude in a human being is that God has forgiven sin.” —Oswald Chambers”
“We can't surrender to the culture. We've minimized the role of fathers, so we've created a generation of barbarians, children who become men without growing up. They stay in boyhood through their 20s and 30s, sometimes their whole lives. They think of themselves first, indulge in pornography, do what they feel like, leave their wives, and culture, and churches to raise their children.”
― Randy Alcorn ,
from Courageous
“Yanked out of the present, Adam discovered the richness of the past in people's stories.”
― Randy Alcorn ,
from Courageous
“Lord Foulgrin: "You must not let him see Charis as a place of learning, exploration, duties, travel, companionship, banquets, celebrations, and productive work. A low view of heaven is our ace in the hole." (conspiring to bring Fletcher down after salvation)”
― Randy Alcorn ,
“Foulgrin: "If you can keep Fletcher from saying a definitive no to a temptation, you've won. Whatever is not a no is merely a postponed yes." (advice to the tempter Squaltaint)”
― Randy Alcorn ,
“God is the Audience of One. There are no secrets from Him.”
― Randy Alcorn ,
“God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). This doesn’t mean we should give only when we’re feeling cheerful. The cheerfulness often comes during and after the act of obedience, not before it. So don’t wait until you feel like giving—it could be a long wait! Just give and watch the joy follow.”
“Five minutes after we die, we’ll know exactly how we should have lived. But God has given us His Word so that we don’t have to wait to die to find out. And He’s given us His Spirit to empower us to live that way now.”
