I look forward to the day when I am with Jesus, and my blind spots are finally wiped away along with my sins and tears—and I will experience the miracle of seeing how God graciously used me when I was, by His empowerment, faithful to Him and His Word. ref.ly/Ep2.10

Many people later regret not conversing directly and praying about death and Heaven during their loved ones’ last days here. Don’t be one of them. ref.ly/Ec7.2

While suffering is not good, God can use it to accomplish immeasurable good. This knowledge should give us great confidence that even when we don’t see any redemptive meaning in our suffering, God can see it. epm.org/resources/2026/Sep/2…

I’ve heard multiple people claim, “There are no pets in the Bible.” But that’s simply not true. In Job, the oldest book of the Bible—probably written in the days of Abraham—God asks, “Can you make a pet of Leviathan as you would a bird or put it on a leash for your girls?” (Job 41:5, NCV). epm.org/resources/2026/Sep/2…

God wants our trust. We delude ourselves when we think we have ultimate control over our lives. It often comes down to this: what we really want is to make our own plans and do our own thing. We don’t want anyone, including God, to impose His plans on us. ref.ly/Pr19.21

God had a specific purpose for not removing the Apostle Paul’s disease. Paul wasn’t to trust in his own strength but in God’s. His disease was a day-by-day reminder of his need to trust in the Lord rather than his own gifts and accomplishments. ref.ly/2Co12.8

Costi Hinn, the nephew of faith healer Benny Hinn, grew up participating in his uncle’s “ministry,” staying at $25,000-a-night royal suites and flying in a private Gulfstream. But Costi’s false belief system was dismantled as he studied Scripture. epm.org/resources/2026/Sep/2…

Don’t miss what would be an outrageous claim if not for the fact that Psalm 148 itself reveals it—”sea monsters,” creatures of unknown size and strength, are right now in remote ocean reaches praising God. And their Creator hears them and gladly receives their praise.

The number one enemy of the greedy heart is the open hand. Greed closes the heart by closing the hand. Grace opens the heart by opening the hand. “Then [Jesus] said, ‘Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own’” (Luke 12:15, NLT).

We don’t always understand God’s ways and motives; one day in retrospect we will finally grasp what He was up to all along. We’ll see how true Romans 8:28 was: “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love him…[and] are called according to His purpose.”

Hannah Strege says: “Before I had a heartbeat in a womb, before I had a birth certificate, before I had a name, I had an inventory number. For two years and nine months, I existed in a frozen canister of liquid nitrogen. My legal status was not child, it was property.” epm.org/resources/2026/Sep/1…

Until the day she died, my wife Nanci placed Scripture on our walls. Soon after her cancer diagnosis, she put up Lamentations 3:22-24, “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

Revelation 21:4 says, “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes…there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain.” Tears of suffering and injustice will be no more. But can you imagine joy flooding your eyes as you meet Christ or reunite with loved ones? I can!

Distinctiveness is God’s creation, not Satan’s. Our uniqueness will survive our earthly death. In fact, much of it may be uncovered for the first time. And we will consider it, in just the right sense, a privilege to be who God has made us to be. ref.ly/Ge1.27

Ironically, some of the best portrayals I’ve seen of the eternal Heaven are in children’s books, because they depict earthly scenes, with animals and people playing, and joyful activities. The books for adults, on the other hand, often try to be philosophical, ethereal, and otherworldly. epm.org/resources/2026/Sep/1…

An eternal kingdom on the New Earth without animals is Scripturally unthinkable. When Earth is filled with the knowledge of Him, all God’s creatures—great and small—will worship Him forever with grateful delight alongside His children. ref.ly/Hb2.14v
