All Resources

Psalm 37:4 isn’t a promise; it’s a principle. If we get upset because “the desires of our heart” haven’t been met, that’s a big clue that our delight is in the smooth running of our own personal kingdom, and not in God Himself.

I think one of the most powerful and chilling portrayals of the insanity of rejecting God—which we do whenever in words or actions we proudly affirm our greatness and achievements—is Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4.

Prolifers have long opposed using the IUD, because it does not prevent conception, but keeps the already-conceived child from implanting in his mother’s womb.

The Bible calls upon people to choose to take action, speak up for, and help the poor and needy (see, for example, Proverbs 31:8–9 and James 1:27). This is the polar opposite of fatalism.

For Nanci and me, the process of discovering God’s will about money and possessions was exciting and liberating. Our growth in financial stewardship closely paralleled our overall spiritual growth. In fact, it propelled it. 

Heaven 2.0, or the New Earth, is different from the original Garden in some very important ways. Adam and Eve were innocents who, when given a choice, chose their own path with the help of the sneaky snake.

A reader of our blog kindly wrote us, “Thanks for the resources and articles over the years. God used your website to draw me to faith and help me grow.” Words like those really encourage both me and our EPM staff as we share resources that point readers to an eternal perspective.

God calls us to be like the Bereans, who checked the Apostle Paul’s teachings against Scripture (Acts 17:11). So I commend you for asking questions and seeking input. 

This is the Eternity 101 DVD class, which was filmed during Randy's Heaven course taught at Corban University in Spring of 2012. His goal in teaching this is to help you gain a better understanding and biblical perspective of our eternal dwelling place. Click the links below to view all 12 sessions.

For some of our brothers and sisters in Christ, Christmas 2024 meant persecution and grief. Open Doors Canada Reports, “The Week of Christmas 2024 brought with it multiple fatal attacks on Christians in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.” My Nigerian friend Samuel Kunhiyop keeps our ministry updated with what is happening in Nigeria.

Throughout the difficulties and joys that 2025 will bring, you’ll find abiding happiness as you go back to God’s Word again and again. One Bible reading program to consider is the Bible Recap, a chronological readthrough with Tara-Leigh Cobble. Several of our EPM staff did it in 2024, and highly recommend it. 

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. I completely understand how you feel and absolutely know what it feels like myself to feel dismissed in my moment of pain by what others say and share.

Regardless of our expectations or resolutions, this new year, like every year since we were evicted from Eden, will bring both wonderful and profoundly difficult moments. What we need is a perspective on our coming year that’s hopeful, yet grounded in eternal certainties. 

Nanci’s death, and grieving our temporary separation, has given me many opportunities to write and speak about grief and share an eternal perspective. Here are some notes we’ve received from readers who have been helped by EPM’s resources on Heaven and grief.
