I have the greatest appreciation and respect for Joni Eareckson Tada. In this touching article, Joni writes, “Resilient joy makes hope come alive, so much so that we can be ‘sorrowful, yet always rejoicing’ (2 Corinthians 6:10).” This sister is pure gold.

This election year, many of us are already finding the political commentary and news exhausting. Never have God’s people needed the reminder more that the key to influence and change in this world is not, and never has been, politics. It is faithfulness to Jesus.

Some of those who follow our ministry aren’t aware of the history of how Eternal Perspective Ministries started. As you watch this video of our story, I hope it makes you think about God’s sovereignty and leading in your own life.

One of the organizations Eternal Perspective Ministries supports is the biblical, Jesus-centered, and effective ministry of International Justice Mission. As the following article from IJM explains, their real-life work combatting child trafficking is nothing like what’s shown in the movies.

In this conversation with Davey Blackburn from Nothing Is Wasted Ministries, Randy talks about the question everyone who has lost a loved one has wondered: what can we expect when it comes to Heaven? Randy and Davey discuss why we need a heavenward focus in our suffering, what we actually know (and what we don’t) when it comes to Heaven, and why our theology matters in thinking about life beyond what we can see. 

The clear reality is that this earth, as it is now, is not Heaven. (I think of wars going on around the world, and the death of Randy’s wife Nanci.) So many hurting hearts, in such a broken, pain-filled world.

Kris writes, “I think Annihilationism offers a much more biblical and consistent interpretation in that people who are cast into Hell are burned up and destroyed.”

Tell your children and grandchildren what God has done for you, and not only will it make a difference for them, one day when your mind is frail, it might come back to you from them, and make a difference for you! 

The form of disposition you choose for your body after you die will NOT keep you from eternal life with Jesus if you have responded to the gospel and believed in Jesus’s death for your sins.

Scripture indicates that the city really will “come down,” not just hover over the New Earth, as the emphasis seems to be on God dwelling with His people.
