    "As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Saskatchewan back country.

    Here is one of the best known scriptures besides John 3-16. Psalm 23 has been recited at funerals, recited to give Gods people encouragement and it also makes the lost take notice. Only 6 verses in its entirety but is one of the deepest Psalm ever writte

    How do we live life so that the preacher doesn’t have to lie at our funeral? How do we live life so that we have very few regrets? How do we live life so that the brief days that we have in this life are lived to the fullest?

    Bread, Water And Rest

    Contributed by Steve Anderson on Dec 18, 2014
     | 6,146 views

    Funeral sermon for a 16-year old who took his life by suicide at 3 AM by gunshot. It is based on what God provided Elijah when he wanted to die. Its intent is to offer the equivalent of bread, water and rest to the grieving, especially peers and family.

    Background (1 Kings 18): 450 idol prophets; 2 altars, 1 fire; Elijah stood up to 450 prophets of Baal but ran for his life when one woman threatened him (1 Kings 19:3-8). Elijah wanted to die, he had poured out his life for God and felt it had no impact. He was tired and in despair, depressed. ...read more

    How do you do "church"? Is it about going to a building and singing songs, praying prayers and listening to a sermon... or is there something more to it than that?

    OPEN: Years ago at summer camp I learned this little song. If you know it sing along with me: Peter and John went to pray. They met a lame man on the way. He held out his palm and asked for an alm, and this is what Peter did say: "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee. In ...read more

    God's Grace can happen at any time or any place.

    The Nain Procession to Party From what I've heard, a New Orleans jazz funeral is an experience like no other.

    If I’m not saved by works (Ephesians 2:8-9), why is it that the Rich man in Luke 16 and the Goats in Matthew 25:31-46 went to hell because the DIDN’T DO good works? That doesn’t make any sense... or does it?

    A Sunday School teacher had spent a great deal of teaching her young class about the fact that doing “good works” could not buy them a place in heaven. To drive home her point she asked her class, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would I ...read more

    God commended Joseph's faith for the strangest reason - because Joseph "gave directions concerning his bones." Seriously? Joseph's faith was praised because of his funeral arrangements? What's that all about, and what can it mean to us?

    Multi Ethnic Bereavement

    I wrote this for a counseling class. It contains three parts: 1) Bereavement in religion 2) Bereavement in ethnic groups 3) Applications for pastoral and clinical counselors.

    To be used of the Lord to help those grieving is both satisfying and humbling. My personal prayer is that more mourners will be drawn to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Christ is the only thing that can bring true and lasting comfort. Jesus said, “Blessed are those that mourn, for they ...read more
