Lately, I have been a part of a lot of funerals. This is both good and bad for obvious reasons.
I enjoy observing and preaching funeral services.
They cause me to really think about many different things. Here are 2 good thoughts.
What will be said at your funeral? What will all of the people that attend say?Will they be happy? Will they be hopeless? What will the preacher say? Will he have to be clever with his wording? Will he be able to speak freely? Do you want people to attend your funeral? Do you think people will be able to celebrate the life you lived?
Also, what songs will they play at your funeral? Will they play songs that do not match you at all? Will they play songs that are inappropriate? Will they play songs that clearly go against God and his truth? Will the people attending your funeral feel uncomfortable because of the obvious disconnect between the message of the songs and the message of your life?
Will you please take time to think through these two questions? Truly stop and think them through. Before you log off this website, think this through. If we were to have a funeral service tomorrow for you, what would we say?
Lets live our lives now with these great questions in mind. Does your life count? Is it worth anything? What are you living for? Do you like who you are? Does your family like who you are? Do your friends like who you are?
Funerals make me think this way… I thank God for that!

One response to “What will be said at your funeral?”
I knew a guy, Jim Henderson, who was completely devoted to Christ. He passed away a few weeks back. At his funeral, because of the testimony of his life, 2 people got saved. That’s a life worth living right there. Praise God.
