Funerals

Today I am officiating the funeral of a dear friend. She is 92 years young and she filled each year with love and joy. This world looses people like her everyday. The trouble is that; we do not see others to pick up the mantle and keep selfless love active. God told us that the gate into heaven was narrow and hard to find, I will be looking for the mantle at this funeral. I need it and so does our sin-sick world.

11-8-2014      Mark 8:38
S.       38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
O.      Jesus says that he will come surrounded by Angels and he will claim those that were not ashamed to declare him as Lord.
A.      I am not ashamed to declare that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. I am planning on living in eternity with him in paradise. Others may turn from him, curse his name and defile their souls but I say; Jesus is Lord!

P.       Father; help me to convince the lost that Jesus is the Lord. Help me teach them that they must abandon sin and confess to the world that Jesus is their Saviour. Help me Father to live my faith openly and in purity and to declare my love for you. Amen.
