What happens when you die according to Jesus? There are many books and suggestions, but for my money, I'll take the advice of One who knows. based on the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man found in Luke 16. You can find the audio and video at www.mympumc.net on July 10, 2016
Many pastors are under intense pressure to excite and entertain their congregations with good news. The resultant effect of this is the perversion and distortion of the gospel to suit a worldly taste. It is possible to be in a position of church leadership without ever having a pure and wholehearted devotion to God. The world’s commendation does not imply God’s approval neither is her condemnation a proof of God’s rejection. Research of many years has revealed there is always a contradiction between what is preached in the church and what is practiced in a larger society. As the church increases in population, riches and worldly wisdom, is there a corresponding spiritual power and piety? Despite the proliferation of churches, there has been an alarming wave of iniquities across the land. Terrifying winds of worldly distractions and compromise are blowing all around us. Sinners are becoming more hardened to the warnings of God. A man or woman can be characterized as godly while practicing ungodly things as a result of the end time satanic revival. The cup of iniquity of this generation is full and it is running over. The father of sin is the devil, the companion of sin is shame and the wages of sin is death. Prosperity message has taken over the pulpit at the neglect of the message of repentance which has enslaved many hearts in pleasure and love of the world. There is need to earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints in order not to run in vain.
I can tell you from personal experience and from the Bible that God is the most wonderful, tender-hearted, and kind Father anyone could imagine.
Experiencing the love of God as your Father is the birthright of every born-again Christian!
It will change your life as it has changed mine!
