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.

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.

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. 

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. 

Randy wrote, “I’m skeptical of much of what I see online about dark night of the soul because it’s so subjective, and the ‘Christian mystics’ who speak of it are often vague and do not ground what they’re talking about on Scripture.”

Every sacrifice we make in following Christ will always result in our long-term good—but it’s more than that. It will also most often result in our short-term happiness. 

Do we consistently acknowledge God to be the greatest source of our joy? Are we filled with discontentment over what we don’t have, rather than gratitude over what we do have? 

I found this video interesting and touching, showing how God can use one article to a great end—in this case, starting a quality Christian school in the inner city.

Randy visited Tyndale House to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of his book Heaven. While there, he was interviewed by his friend Carol Traver at a staff gathering. They talk about his writing and the impact of the Heaven book, as well as some personal stories from Randy. It is a fun conversation with a lot of laughs.

In a video call, Jordan Raynor hosted a question and answer time with Randy about Heaven, the New Earth, and vocation, as well as several other topics.  

Randy shares a prayer of a powerful passage of Scripture that pertains to the election and the future of our country.

Paul David Tripp’s Everyday Gospel is a wonder. It's brilliantly written, clear, concise, Christ-exalting, true to God’s word, enriching to the mind, encouraging to the heart, and overflowing with gospel grace. Hope you enjoy this excerpt.

I’m praying that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes, not just to the truth, but also to the vast love Jesus has for both of you. He wants a relationship with you and wants to bless you with the happiness that only comes with a clean conscience from placing Him over every part of your life.

Francis Schaeffer wrote, “We must remember throughout our lives that in God’s sight there are no little people and no little places. Only one thing is important: to be consecrated persons in God’s place for us, at each moment.”
