His name is DEATH and I know him all to well!

I didn't realize it had been so long since my last blog entry.  The last one posted here was 4 days before Christmas so this makes my first blog in 2016 here on our website.  Needless to say ministry has been keeping us busy with Church, attending the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville and many other things.
Now that I am back in the "blog" business one thing I would like to share is that DEATH has no respect of persons neither does he take a day off. 
It seems over the past three weeks or so we have seen many leave this world, some young, some old to enter into eternity..
This "Death" is something that will hit all of us one day and yet though the human side of us dread it, the spiritual man who is saved and born again longs for the day when we are able to be with Jesus face to face!  For in that place scripture tells us that there is no more death (Rev. 21) sorrow, crying or heartache.  Jesus was sorrowful unto death is what He told us just before He was taken away and arrested the night before He was crucified.  In Matthew 26:39 He said "Father, let this cup pass from me.  Nevertheless not my will but thine be done".  I do not think Jesus was dreading death however as He knew how it would end on the third day when He would arise from the dead, but dreaded the pain, humiliation and much more that He would have to endure on His road to death.  Death claimed Him once and will you and I once as Hebrews 9:27 tells us "It is appointned unto man once to die; after this the judgement."  However since Jesus defeated death, we to have defeated death IF He is our personal Savior. 
He will one day walk us through the Shadow of death only to take us to that wonderful place called Heaven where we will never lose anyone ever again, but spend eternity with them and most of all with our Lord Jesus!!  May all of us be ready for the day that He calls our name to head home!

    I don’t think so that your blog or forum can work in this way if you will not post stuff on time. you should do things on time with [url=https://www.essayservicesreviewsclub.com/edugeeksclub-com-review/]edugeeksclub review[/url] so in this way you can grow your site and make more users.
