This morning I was reading from Charles Bridges commentary on Ecclesiastes and thought I would explore the YouTube site, Christian Sermons and Audiobooks to see what he had on Solomon’s book.
I found the following sermon about death and listened through it, and am glad I did, as it made some aspects of death much more clear than they were to me before I listened.
His message is about his time of starting a church in an oil boom town in Texas; therein, after he got a church building…he talked about being the only preacher for 26 months, about conducting at least 3 funerals a day, some days as many as 7; he talked about the horrors of those who were experiencing dying, as the majority of them had lived lives of ill repute.
The last 8-10 minutes of his sermon were extremely vivid, as he clarified the meaning of the word ‘cast’ from the phrase, ‘cast into the lake of fire.’ You don’t want to miss that. If you have time for nothing else, listen to that, as we all need to have as clear an understanding as we can about death so that we might spend our lives rightly.
