     | 5,045 views

    This Funeral Message is suitable for a man/woman who got saved late in life. Perhaps a man or woman who was saved by the grace of God, but didn’t have a lot of time to grow in the grace of God and mature.

    Many of us can remember a time in our life, when on a dark night, we stood outside and looked up into the sky, and saw literally millions of stars.

    For example, if you drive through the mountains of North Carolina on some of the old dirt roads where neighbors live five and ten miles apart, you will notice that the people in the yard will stop what they are doing when you drive by, smile, and wave at you. That is so different from people who ...read more

    Dinosaurs look good in the museum, but their bones are really disconnected, are not together, and are dry as dust. The church must learn to connect, to unite, and to be exciting, as God wills.

    Dinosaurs fascinate me. Those ancient beasts which once upon a time roamed this planet, foraging for food and terrorizing smaller creatures. You’ve seen them on the late movies, enormous reptiles, roaring and raring up on their hind legs, grabbing the pretty girl between those giant jaws and ...read more
