Of course most of my family is already saved, but I have friends who I have been after for years. If they show up at my funeral, I want them preached at one last time!

Originally posted by Sparko View Postyeah what better time to preach the gospel? Most funerals I have attended just remember the deceased and comfort the living. Singing hymns and praying, sure, but not really preaching the gospel. I want a freaking sermon at my funeral, teaching that if they don't have Jesus, then they are lost and that if they want to, come forward right then and there and be saved.
Of course most of my family is already saved, but I have friends who I have been after for years. If they show up at my funeral, I want them preached at one last time!
Perhaps I'll try writing something like that in the future.We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore on Christ's behalf: 'Be reconciled to God!!'- 2 Corinthians 5:20.
