On the Equipping You in Grace show, Dave Jenkins talks with Randy Alcorn about how living in light of the truth of Heaven can help those grieving now and about finding your God-given identity after a loss. They also talk about Randy’s booklet Grieving with Hope: Walking with Jesus in Heartbreak.

Over the years, some people have thought I talk too much about social justice issues and not enough about missions, not realizing how much EPM gives substantially to missions and crisis and development aid. We give to a wide and diverse range of causes that we believe are close to God’s heart.

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.

Our life in God's presence will be fullness of joy. Upon our deaths, we’ll be face to face with goodness Himself, and we’ll be able to ask Jesus our questions directly. And for now, we can rest in His character: His goodness, mercy, kindness, and abundant grace. 

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.

In June 2018, our beloved coworker and dear friend Karen Coleman went to be with Jesus. EPM partnered with The Seed Company to help fund the Esimbi project, bringing God’s Word to 20,000 people who live in isolated areas in Karen’s beloved Cameroon.

I know that it can feel like other couples and families are too busy for you, but you really need to be with people right now. I encourage you to fight through the feelings that your Christian friends have their own lives. This is what the Christian community is supposed to do for each other.

Our enemy the devil prowls around looking for someone to devour, and the landscape is littered with people he has destroyed.

Singer and songwriter Dallas Holm recorded a podcast episode with his daughter on the subject of my book Heaven. He has an unusually acute understanding of the book—his comments about Christoplatonism display an awareness that is not common, but right on target.

The issue includes: The Comfort and Friendship of Jesus in Our Grief by Randy Alcorn, How Four Simple but Profound Words Can Keep You from Sin by David Powlison, Eternal Perspectives on the Election: What God's Word Says, Heaven: 20 Years Later (Interview with Randy Alcorn), and more.

 This would be a great subject to discuss with your pastor or another leader at your church—someone who knows you personally and can speak biblically into your lives with love and wisdom. And of course, I encourage you and your husband to ask Jesus if there is something more He wants you to do. 

Our fates do not rest in the hands of fallen humankind: politicians, lawyers, military officers, employers, or even spouses and children. If we believe this, our reaction to current events and to many of the difficulties we face will change.

It is good that you are careful about your faith. I encourage you to please be careful, though, about sitting in judgment about the faith of others. Only God knows the heart, and we are each responsible for the “light” we are given.
