A look at the state of those who have died
For the last few weeks we have been focusing on the return of Jesus Christ.. What some refer to as the Rapture.

Some criticize him for staying in Haran saying that he fell short of the promises of God, distracted by the attraction of wealth. I don’t think he was saying, OK, HE’S DEAD! WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? But he did stay in Haran until his father died.
Part 1 - Genesis 12:1-20 (NASB) - OK, HE’S DEAD. WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? I understand the upheaval of moving to a different city.

Funeral for a committed Christan woman who died at the age of 98 after a lifetime of service for God.
It won’t surprise you, I’m sure, to know that most of what we’re doing today was under Nat’s clear direction. I regularly encourage people to write down what they’d like to have happen at their funeral and she’s one of the few people who have actually done it. So the hymns, some of the prayers, the ...read more

We were guilty until Jesus came and paid the price. Now we can free. How? Realizing we are sinners, believe that Jesus died for our sins and accept him as our Savior.
The salvation of a soul from sin is a work of great proportion. It is a work of God o behalf of man. Nothing greater has ever been done for you and me. The writer of the book of Hebrews speaks of this work, which is all of God, as “so great salvation.” Before anyone can have a clear concept of this ...read more
