Wow, this is so sad. It breaks my heart. We are only here for a blink of an eye, it’s crazy. The Lord only knows when our time will be up here. We need to get ourselves right and start being better disciples today, we may not have tomorrow.

My heart aches for the family. I don’t know them personally but it makes me wonder what would happen to my grown children in the end of their life.
Death seems to be so much more acceptable when you know where your loved ones will end up.
I pray that my children would be blessed with eternal life when the end of their earthly life is over.
Greg Laurie is a wonderful teacher and a true man of God. I pray that his family finds peace in the Lord in troubled times.

I was listening to Pastor Greg speaking today to a congregation about his son. It is amazing how their family is dealing with things. It’s easier when you can rest assure knowing that someone is in heaven. He refered to this scripture reminding him of his sons life:
2Ti 4:6 As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near.
2Ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.
2Ti 4:8 And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his glorious return.
His brother spoke for a moment to say (I’m paraphrasing) that even if his brother died to save one lost persons soul, he did not go in vein and that all Glory be to God.
Wow guys, look at this. We have to fight the good fight, knowing and assuring our families as well that we will be in the glorious kingdom when our time is through here. And also, don’t think that just because you are young that you have the rest of your life to live. We do not know what lies ahead, people get ready.
