Death and Dying (152)
  1. Once Upon A Time in Genesis. In this episode, we talk with author Cindy Koch about her new book, Once Upon A Curse. We discuss Semitic poetry, the Psalms, Genesis, curses and promises, child-bearing, biblical versus earthly wisdom, freedom and bondage, and the ever-needed reality that is explained and defined by the story of Jesus Christ, the Lamb crucified from the foundation of the world.
  2. Dr. Montgomery spent his life—even into his final year at the age of 92—contending for the whole Christian faith once and for all delivered to the saints.
  3. What a small thing in the big picture to give his head for the Head of the Church who would give his life for John and all sinners.
  4. Like the Apostle Paul, Thielicke’s preaching extols the truth that in life and in death, we belong to the Lord.
  5. The Lion of Judah, Christ the King, Jesus of Nazareth, will not be away from us for one night.
  6. This great victory, the true defeat of death, I receive not by my thinking, willing, or working, but simply by believing.
  7. In Christ, this world’s never-children are his always-children, because he isn’t a God of death, after all.
  8. I found in Jonathan Edwards an unexpected voice articulating beautiful aspects of death through the lens of Christ.
  9. By death the Christian is brought to the actual possession of all his happiness, which is nothing other than Christ and all the benefits Christ has procured for His saints.
  10. One now finds Edwards frequently commenting on the beautiful things about nature, life, and Christ, and he also manifests a creative perception of beauty when considering the most morose of topics: Death.
  11. Jesus continues to do the same for me and for you as he did for his disciples. He still shows up for us. He still speaks his peace to us.
