The Lord Of Life And Death Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 25, 2021

Jesus said with His tears that He approved of that kind of sorrow. There is a valid place for tears in the Christian life. We need never fear nor be ashamed of the tears of the hopeful.

One of the oldest and most universal of all questions is the one of Job, "If a man die shall he live again?" In the ancient world almost everyone believed that death was a gateway into another world, and so they buried their dead with food and tools to be used when they arrived. This is ...read more

Trusting God in seasons of waiting renews our strength, turning weariness into endurance and hope, as faith refuses to panic amid uncertainty.

Some of us walked in today with a wait in our bones. We’ve stood in waiting rooms, stared at silent phones, counted ceiling tiles in the midnight hours. We’ve waited for a call back from a doctor, a prodigal to come home, a door to open, a cloud to move. Life can feel like a long line at the DMV of ...read more

The picture of God we get is that of a God who is following his chosen people to the very “brink of the falls”, so to speak, saying, “IT DOESN”T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!” <ILLUS> Niagara falls, the “point of no ...read more
