This is not just a curiosity question, but I have actually been in this situation a few times. We[believers} pay a call on the survivors of a{by all indications}unsaved person, and the survivor, being unsaved themselves, state,"I "know" she{persons mother,etc.} is in a better place now.{They likely say that to comfort themselves,make themselves feel better.}But we, as believers, know that, if the person died unsaved, they are NOT in a better place.Now, here's the thing--we, as Christians, are to"rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those that mourn." {Also, to give comfort}. Now, it wouldn't be very "comforting" ,when someone says that , to blurt out,"Look, your loved one is {likely, barring a deathbed confession}in Hell, and...
Jesus paid the price for our salvation and now we are on our way to heaven. People do not believe this truth and we must continue to pray for them. No wonder Jesus said. Pray without ceasing. All skeptics and those who reject the Lord owe us nothing but we need to pray for them on a daily basis. Let us not go around the world telling people the world owes us a living. They do not owe us anything. Jesus paid the price to save everyone. All we have to do is to fast and pray for everyone we see around us. Specially those we love and care. If they are lost and are not save we will never see them in heaven. O God, save our loved ones and friends. Bring them all to church for prayer meeting and save them all we pray. Amen
A lesson: How is gold purified? Is it not melted down and the impurities removed? If a child is given food and clothes because the parents are rich, does he love his parents any more or less than the child of the poor man that gives all he has, but there are days the child does not have clean clothes, and has no food? So, then we know the child of the rich people loves his parents the same as the child of the poor that doesn't have enough food or clean clothing. Why? Because love is pure. So, our love for the Father is tested, we are melted and purified. Why? To remove the wheat from the tares. There are some that are Christian in name, but who do not love the Father the way others love him. So, as a group, we are being melted, so...
This morning I was at a grocery store and had the opportunity to see an amazing young man on a bicycle who was returning carts to the front of the store. He's not an employee, but just someone who happened to be looking for a job. (I spoke with him.) Because he seemed so dedicated, I went inside the store and requested to speak with a manager. I told the manager about what this young man was doing and he was amazed because in the 13 years he has been a manager, he had never seen anything like it. :) So, he spoke with the young man and told him to fill out an application today, which the young man is going to do. The point of my story is two fold. :) Always helps others when you can, and God will put us in certain places at certain times...
Solitude is talking to God all alone with Him. Just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemani. I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses... And the voice I hear falling on my ear, the Son of God discloses... And He walks with me and He talks with me. And He tells me I am His own. And he joy we share, as we tarry there. None other has ever known. In solitude there is healing, blessings and mercy. Speak to your heavenly Father, Listen carefully to His voice. Sometimes in the absence of noise we find the answers to all our problems.
You tube comment under the next video: Hi! I am from Brazil. He is a former beggar that dresses this way and enters all churches in Brazil to see how they will treat him. To teach people not to be hipocritical anymore. To teach them that church is God's home, not theirs. And he has truly a beautiful and powerful voice to praise Lord. It has nothing to do with promote himself or the church he visits. It has nothing to do with a drunk pretending to be saved, to find the path. It has to do with showing hipocritical people. In the end of all his visits, he reveals his identity to all. He is also a pastor. You will see videos where he is not dressed like a beggar. That is it! Second story is told in the video, watch and get a lesson...
