Death and Dying (163)
  1. Ash Wednesday, is meant to remind us we have a death problem. All living things made from the soil shall return to it.
  2. Out of great pain and suffering often comes goodness, beauty, and truth. John Donne, born on the 22nd of January in 1573, is an excellent example of that for us in his masterful work, Death Be Not Proud.
  3. Perhaps this past year has prompted the recognition that God is not the tame projection of our highest hopes and dreams. Instead, he is the one who uses even his foes to make a point.
  4. So what happens when you come to the lowest moment of your life and doubt that anything good can come out of it? God meets you there in His Redeemer. Craig and Troy finish up the book of Ruth.
  5. Faithful preachers should remain steadfast in the biblical categories and terminology and preach the reality of death.
  6. 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.
  7. Jesus will strengthen and encourage us because he is true life, and life has defeated death.
  8. 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.
  9. Sin is driven by disordered love, and it is love in this sense that leads to all the pain and suffering in the world.
  10. 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. 
  11. This is an excerpt from the book, “Paul and the Resurrection” written by Joshua Pagán (1517 Publishing, 2020).
  12. 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.
