Some of Those Lost in 2016

There is nothing hidden before GOD. We can live a life of deception before men and our chance of being discovered depends largely upon our proficiency at lying--but GOD sees and knows everything.

This old song, by Glenn Frye, one of those who passed in 2016 says it in music.

    "It is appointed to man once to die, and after that, the judgement."

    Life comes with an expiration date. Nobody gets out of this experience we call 'life' physically alive; however, the BIBLE, the LIVING WORD of our HOLY GOD tells us that death is merely a transition from life to life.

    Death is the door through which a person who has been born for death must pass in order to begin the life that will never end.

    There are two possible destinations once the deceased passes through that door called death. One is to everlasting damnation, the other is to everlasting joy.

    The first is easy to attain. Simply do nothing. Just live life as though this were all there is. "Eat, drink, and be merry," as the Epicureans said. Live life to the hilt. Indulge yourself to the fullest capacity within your power, spare no cost to attain the treasures of time for your own satisfaction.

    At the moment of your death, you will have had your reward.

    The second is even easier to attain. Simply give your broken, sinful life to JESUS. Live your life to honor the SAVIOR who rescued you from the "wages of sin," which is death--eternal death.

    At the moment of your death, you will enter the realm where "GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM THEIR EYES AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NEITHER SORROW NOR CRYING, FOR THE FORMER THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY."
    Revelation 21:4

    We mourn the passing of many whose impact upon life on this small planet has been profound. Their contributions are varied--from politicians to musicians to actors to astronauts--they have touched our lives with their own.

    May they be with JESUS who paid the price for sin so all who die may live eternally in the REALM OF GLORY with HIM.
