I’ve heard critics of biblical inerrancy say, “I believe the Bible was written by human beings, not God.” This statement shows a fundamental ignorance of what people who affirm biblical inspiration and inerrancy actually believe.

Randy was a guest on the Joni and Friends Ministry Podcast to discuss the powerful and counter-intuitive truth that, no matter your circumstances, you can discover that “giving is the good life.” 

In Randy’s conversation with Davey Blackburn from Nothing Is Wasted Ministries, they discuss what it will be like to live on the New Earth—finally free from the curse, in awe of God’s glory! Randy explains how looking forward to life on the New Earth shapes how we view this present life under the curse.

In my book Heaven, I share how years ago, Nanci read me letters we’d never before seen translated, written in 1920 by her grandmother Anna Swanson to her family in Sweden. Anna’s letters reflect her broken heart, her nagging guilt . . . and her faith in God.

Randy had a conversation with Don Cousins, senior lead pastor of Discovery Church in Orlando. They spoke about what to expect on the New Earth, storing up treasures in Heaven, and how events in Randy’s life have shaped him.

Randy had a conversation with Chris Beard at The People’s Church in Cincinnati. They spoke about Randy’s writing, the New Earth, and living in light of Heaven.

Jim Abernethy, a well-known diver and underwater photographer, works primarily with sharks. Years ago in the Bahamas, Jim encountered a large tiger shark he named Emma. 

Recently I shared Isaiah 43:19 with our Eternal Perspective Ministries staff. I was so moved by that verse that I looked it up in every translation, via Bible Gateway. 

We asked commenters on my Facebook page, “What excites you most about living on the New Earth?” Wow, the responses were so great. Here are a number of them, and I hope they encourage you to anticipate our eternal home.
