The Resurrection to Damnation

August 6, 2018 By admin

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. Psalm 37:9. At the close of the thousand years the second resurrection will take place. Then the wicked will be raised from the dead, and appear before God….

Messages from … ?

July 24, 2018 By admin

One day while I was scrolling through Facebook postings, a cousin asked friends a question: Do you believe that you can receive messages from loved ones who have passed on? I knew that she had recently posted a message directed to her from a popular psychic, using the name of a dead relative. Previously this cousin had frequently posted items about missing her mother so I knew she was still grieving the loss of parents.

I wanted to share my beliefs with this cousin whom I remembered as a darling little girl when I was a teenager. We had only gotten reacquainted as adults during the funerals of my own parents so I decided to stay in touch. A lot had happened over the years since she was a child— marriages, children, illnesses, loss. I really wasn’t certain what she had been taught or believed. However, I chose to address her as someone who believed in God and had some exposure to the Bible.

So I carefully thought of a response, not only for my cousin but for all who might want to believe that dead relatives can reach out to them. I know that it can seem like a great comfort to have contact again from someone that you greatly miss—their voice, sight, smell, laugh, favorite foods and music. Just to be able to be with them again! And sometimes those wishes are wrapped up in guilt about missed chances to say goodbye or ask forgiveness, or desires for answers to questions.

A lot of people just aren’t sure about what happens when someone dies. I’ve thought about it more after the deaths of my parents. Many of us can’t abide by the thought that a life is over and that’s all there is—for our loved ones or for ourselves! We certainly don’t like to think about what happens in the grave or cremation.

During my lifetime I have accepted that the character of God is one of love, compassion and grace. He always has our best interest, and he is a good God. I believe God would not design that those who have died be doomed to view the suffering and pain of their descendents for centuries (?). Likewise, that those left alive would have to continually wonder if they were being watched by their dead friends and family members. (I once had a neighbor who wondered if her father was watching her use the bathroom!).

I accept that there are many interpretations for passages and stories in the Bible. However, the clearest picture I have of God is revealed in Jesus Christ on the Cross, and his hope-filled resurrection. The book of John is one of my favorites in the Bible, with lots of quotes from Jesus. I think Jesus is pretty clear about the afterlife as he spoke to his disciples in John 14:1-3 (NIV): “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”

I also like the encouragement about Jesus’ coming as offered in I Thessalonians 4:13-18, and the resurrection in I Corinthians 15:50-56.

Jesus will return to get those who have trusted in him. In the meantime, death is a whole person rest in him. And since I believe in a cosmic battle between God and Satan, there may be spirit impersonators of those who have died. All of that can be distracting from the basis for our eternal salvation in a trusting relationship with Jesus Christ. What is the fruit of the supposed messages or visits? Do they encourage greater reliance on God and looking to him for faith and direction? Or is there greater dependence on intermediaries, choiceless directions, fear, and confusion? Some people spend lots of money seeking responses from their dead—money that could benefit the living.

Throughout the New Testament, there are many words of “Do not fear.” God wants us to be at peace about what happens after we die. He is fair, just, loving and forgiving. “When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you will appear with him in glory” (Colossians 3:4).

Questions for personal journaling or group discussion:

  1. What troubles you the most about what will happen after death?
  2. How would you evaluate a message from a dead relative or friend?

Our Blessed Dead

July 18, 2018 By admin

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Revelation 14:13. I hardly know what to say to you. [Words to a husband and children on the loss of a wife and mother.] The news of your wife’s death was to me overwhelming.

How Faith Is Made Perfect

March 1, 2018 By admin

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:17. The expulsion of sin is the act of the soul itself. In its great need the soul cries out for a power out of and above itself; and through the operation of the Holy Spirit the nobler powers of the mind are imbued with strength to break away from the bondage of sin. When man surrenders to Christ, the mind is brought under the control of the law, but it is the royal law, which proclaims liberty to every captive
