As the TV commercials and other ads for local haunted houses have increased this past week, I've resisted mentioning that I'll talk about zombies and vampires in this morning's Sermon.
As I catch up on the overnight news, I'm wondering if I made the right decision. Since many people in our world are struggling with how to live, they're probably wrestling with the ideas of what happens to them after they die.
As I've wrestled with Psalm 90 (today's Scripture Lesson; and, the text from which I'm preaching) about Understanding Eternity, I learned that as God has made our very existence, God also lets what we do with our time be entirely up to us - your's is to choose.
With Psalm 90, I've listened to and studied John 14 because that's the clearest teaching that Jesus gives about life after death. Read it. Clearly, when believers die, we don't become zombies. Or vampires.
Ah, I hear the question coming: What about non-belivers?
God's love will spare anyone from deading [we really can't that living] like that. God wouldn't inflict anyone deading like that on the rest of us, either.
I'm looking forward to worship God with you this morning!
