A Wise Man (The
Late Myles Munro) Said:
“When a purpose
of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.”
Ecc.3:1 - To every thing there is a
season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
The Service has very little to do with the departed:
Isaiah 57:1-2 (NIV)
1 Good people pass away; the godly often die before
their time.
But no one seems to care or wonder why.
No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death

thy words Giveth Light; it Giveth Understanding Unto The Simple.

Learn From The Testimony of The Departed:

goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, THOU FOOL,
this night thy soul shall be required of
thee:
then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
