    We did not say “Goodbye” to our son on the day of his burial. We said, “Luke, we’ll see you soon.”

  2. Please Don’t Say These Six Things at My Funeral

    book

    By Chad Bird
    I want the beginning of my funeral to be focused on Jesus, as well as the middle, the end, and every point in between.

    In just about every generation, there have been some who thought The End was very near. They were convinced that they were living in the last days. And they were right, though probably not in the way they thought. Likewise, if you think we are living in the last days, you too are right, but perhaps not in the way you suppose.

  6. God, Don't You Care That I'm Drowning?

    book

    By Chad Bird
    In our liquid world, strung out on the meth of evil, full of poor souls fighting to stay afloat, where are you, O God? Don't you care that we are perishing?

  7. People Aren’t Downgraded to Angels When They Die

    book
    04/22/20
    11 mins
    By Chad Bird
    When Christians die, heaven does not “get another angel.” We cannot become angels any more than we can become giraffes or ocean waves or stars. We are people and will remain so after this present life. God did not make a mistake when he made us human.

    book

    11 mins
    By Chad Bird
    When talking about God’s ultimate destination for us, we’ve grown sloppy in our language, nearsighted in our gaze, and un-Easter in our hope. We act and speak as if dying and going to heaven is what the faith is all about. It is most emphatically not.

  9. Will There Be Animals in Heaven?

    By Chad Bird
    As our first parents had a bond with the animals, as Noah had animals with him in the reboot of creation after the flood, so after this old creation comes to an end, we will enjoy a new creation that includes animals.

  10. How Can a Blind Man Thank God for His Eyes?

    By Chad Bird
    We’re messed up people with messed up bodies. All of us. Even Miss America gets hemorrhoids. The Fall mocks us in our own skin. We’re all walking sermons.

  11. Jesus’ Blue Collar Outfit for the End of the World

    book
    12/13/17
    10 mins
    By Chad Bird
    When I was a kid, punchdrunk in church by all the legalistic blows to my head, I stumbled into a warped state of mind about what’s going to happen when Jesus crashes the world’s party at the end of time.

  12. Photoshopping Death

    By Chad Bird
    Death is never natural. Death is abnormal. Death is not human. Death is the enemy.
