Death and Dying (158)
  1. God uses the fifth commandment to protect us from selfishness, prevent us from only thinking about our needs, and to drive us to Christ and our neighbors.
  2. Jesus will strengthen and encourage us because he is true life, and life has defeated death.
  3. Be a hero and listen up to the preachers! Real men die for a purpose and bring back a little doctrine in their sermons. Martin Luther would be proud.
  4. Sin is driven by disordered love, and it is love in this sense that leads to all the pain and suffering in the world.
  5. One day at a time, God provides us with a heart of wisdom, and in this way, our Lord teaches us to number our days. 
  6. This is an excerpt from the book, “Paul and the Resurrection” written by Joshua Pagán (1517 Publishing, 2020).
  7. Saying the words of the prayer together meant that if my voice became too weak or shaky, other voices would be around to support and continue the message.
  8. There is a power that is stronger and mightier than the power of separation in death. And that power is the power of God’s love for you and me.
  9. In our attempts to flee from our fears and escape death, we will become imprisoned by them.
  10. Comfort is not a platitude; it is a promise. A promise from our God who left his place of glory and died a sinner’s death for poor sinners.
  11. That is why we dance on graves. That is why we smile in the midst of sorrowful tears. That is why we retell old stories and share humorous memories.
  12. When the old Adam hears a command, he hears a prescription. Like a coach drawing up a play so you can win the game.
