Not Making a Will Won’t Make You Live Any Longer

People have told me that, if it came down to it, they would be afraid to die for Jesus. But you know what? We are going to die anyway, so we might as well be willing to die for Jesus. At least that way we have the hope of eternal life after dying. After all, either way we still die.

At the same time, some people don’t want to make a will because they don’t want to think about dying, but you know what? You are going to die anyway. And not making a will won’t make you live any longer. What making a will will do for you, though, is make sure your assets go where you want.

If you wish, your local Adventist conference can assist you in making a legal will. This is a service local Adventist conferences do for their members, and while you certainly may, you don’t have to leave anything to the church, to get them to perform this service. However, I am all for leaving a legacy when I die. I hope that, when I die, people will still read my blog posts, and remember my sermons and kind words. To me, leaving such a legacy is just being a good steward of my life. Just like I want my writings and sermons to live well beyond me, I also want my resources to keep working for Jesus well beyond my days.

When I was a child, my mother would tell me all kinds of interesting stories about her life before I was born. Now that she is resting in Jesus, I am living my life in a way to make sure I will have all kinds of interesting stories to share with her after she awakes in the resurrection. If I fall asleep before Jesus comes, I know I will love to hear in heaven all the wonderful stories about how my money kept working for Jesus while I was sleeping. Possibly you feel the same. If you would like your local Adventist conference to help you make your will, with or without giving anything to the conference, let me help you get started by sharing a link. Again, not making a will won’t make you live any longer. Making a will makes sure your money goes where you want it to. When you are ready, just click on this link to find a local Adventist estate planning representative. The sooner you get this taken care of, the sooner you can just go back to enjoying the rest of your life, with peace of mind.

Amen!
