Sermon 71 "My Mom Just Died"

At approximately 1:35 AM today, my brother called me from the nursing home to inform me that mom had died. She suffered from Alzheimers and was wasting away, going down to 93 pounds.

The reality of death that comes to all of us is hard to bear when it arrives for our loved ones.

We as Christians must die daily to self and to this wicked but soon to be redeemed world.

This spiritual practice of extinguishing our attachment to the material realm and abandoning all our craving will prepare us for when we physically die.

I'm pretty sure my mom was saved and will be in heaven. As her oldest son, her first born baby, I have asked God to grant my request and I trust that it has been granted.
