Going to Heaven in a Godly Fashion

Guest Info

9Aug

Moments before Ray Ortlund passed, he closed his life much like the biblical Jacob. At 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 22, 2007 he called for his wife of sixty-one years, Anne, and his children. He gave each a personal encouragement, sang, prayed, gave his final benediction over his children, and died shortly after. No question, for 84 years Ray Ortlund was one of those rare, wonderful “bright lights” that everyone cherishes meeting. What made him so special? Wherever Ray went he brought an unforgettable smile of hope, joy, infectious laughter, and irresistible Christ-like love that inspired and enriched whomever he touched.

What is the family legacy you are building? What closing words would you share if you only had an hour to live? May these words challenge you to live a life that honors Jesus Christ.

Love Him Most!

    Do You Love Your Church?
    I love what Jesus says about the church. The church is the bride of Christ. He loves the church because the church is a place where we tell people about Jesus and what He did for us. It’s a place where we can share each others burdens and be a family. When you brag on [...]

    The Spirit is Moving
    The word of God says that Jesus has ascended into heaven and at this very time sits at the right hand of God the Father. If that is not enough for you, according to John 16:7, Jesus sends us the Holy Spirit to live within each believer. John 16:8 also happens to give us the [...]

    Lead!
    When we think of Moses, we think “Leader” with a capital L. The guy was awesome! It seemed like daily he would look to heaven and say “OK God, what next?!” And as another day passed, Moses would again look to heaven and say “How about today, Lord, tell me what to do.” Moses was [...]

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
