Questions We Rarely Ask
Will I become an angel when I die? What is life like in heaven? How do I leave a spiritual legacy?
How do we leave legacies that will bless our loved ones when we are incapacitated or die?
Do we really believe that our days are numbered? How do we grieve, and how do we help the grieving?
What happens when we die? How do we live intentionally so that we might die intentionally?
In the valleys of grief, sorrow, and affliction, I have discovered that the Bible offers profound hope. Friend, this life is a millisecond in a marathon. But we are headed toward eternal glory, when every day, day in and day out, we will know the joy for which we were designed: the joy of loving and serving God, the joy of loving and serving one another. When we know the true hope of eternal glory, we will have the courage to face death and dying. We will live intentionally so that we might die intentionally, all to the glory of God.
