When we speak about funerals and death, we must always understand that this earth id NOT the reality we think it is. Our reality is Heaven with our Creator. God is Spirit, so we must become spiritual men and abandon our flesh to be what God wants us to be.
In Genesis 6:1 there was a corruption of what God created and Satan tried to corrupt the seed of God, that was going to kill the seed of the devil. Forever, this seed of Satan has corrupted many lives and caused chaos and evil in the Sons of God's lives. In Romans 1, God complains that man will not acknowledge that God is the Creator, so He gives us over to a reprobate mind. The first sign of this insanity is homosexuality.( read it). It is foreordained that the world will wax worse and worse until Jesus comes back to take back His possession. The things that were unthinkable 50-100 years ago are now commonplace.
There will continue to be school shootings, sodomy, abortions, drugs, evil of all kinds, until Jesus returns. The purpose of this explanation is to warn people that the time here on earth is so short, it will be a blink of an eye compared to eternity in Heaven. The trick is to wake up from our sleep while we are here on earth to prepare for the time we will go to meet our Maker. These parents will be with their children and spouses will be with their husbands of war if they become Sons of God.
As a minister, I can't imagine trying to give a funeral to a person you knew was not going to be with God. Just saying someone is in Heaven when you know full well they have never acknowledged God is heartbreaking. Children that have died under the age of accountability will be with God. If people want to see their loved ones again, the time is NOW,..Today, to act upon this knowledge. Our lives here on earth are meaningless unless we attend to the most pressing issue we have been given. The sadness we have on earth will evaporate like vapor as our souls and spirit race toward the light as breath leaves our lungs.
If we want the death and suffering to end, we need to repent and pray that God may hear from Heaven and heal our lands. But are we ready to give up abortion? Can we live without sodomy? Can we face the world without drugs in our right minds? Is it possible to marry the people we are fornicating with? We have called this judgement upon ourselves. We are the ones that stopped prayer in school. Is it that hard to guess that evil has been called into our schools? Satan is glad to fill the vacuum left when God is kicked out. You can examine the mind of AOC and others to see the result of this experiment. The world has grown insane and we did it to ourselves.
We can pray for this man's family, we can pray for God's grace for this man's soul, but the whole culture will remain sick until the population repents and brings back sanity. Gun control will do nothing if a heart is so dark, so bankrupt, as to dream of murder. The answer is never more laws, but better people.
Yes, agree.
