Questions about Suicide
by John McKain
Even on the calm beautiful days of Spring, voices and faces still return to my mind. Mark came to a screeching stop on the country road in front of our house. ''Mr. - just shot himself. You need to get over there quickly!'' It came as such a shock to every one. Who would have of thought he would have done it? Gina was a different story. You remember me telling you about her-the call we received one Sunday morning. The voice on the other end saying, ''Gina committed suicide last night out on Interstate 35 toward Denton.'' Immediately the words which I had spoken to her father leaped into mind, ''Gary, you need to begin preparing...
Can a Suicide Go to Heaven? And Other Questions about Death (13 of 26)
by Stan Coffey
People do not like to think about death, yet there is something about the subject that draws us like a magnet. Some people respond to the idea of death with defiance. Others laugh at death. George Burns said ''I don't believe in death.'' Some are resigned to death. The saddest of all are those who invite death. Death is a dreaded enemy, and yet the Bible promises believers victory over death through Christ. I. WHAT ABOUT PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD? A. We should respect the memories of our loved ones who have gone to be-with the Lord. (Heb. 12:1) B. We should comfort the bereaved and sympathize- with them in...
Where There's Jesus There's Hope (1 of 16)
by Jerry Vines
I wonder how many of you have seen our T.V. commercials ''Come Home''? We've had a lot of wonderful and positive response from these commercials. We have had a number of people who said, having seen those commercials, that it's time for them to come home and they did. We thank God for it. Picking up on that theme in this new series of studies which I'm calling ''Come Home, There's Hope,'' we're going to be talking about hope from this book of hope in the New Testament, I Peter. I'm sure most of you have followed this week the hostage situation here in the Riverplace Towers. We can certainly commend our law...
Let There Be Life
by Miles Seaborn
Four simple words. ''Pastor, can't we skip this one? This never happens to me.'' I doubt if we have any ''hit'' men/women in our church. Clarence Darrow said, ''I've never killed anyone but I've read a lot of obituaries with glee.'' ILL. By the time the average America child gets to the sixth grade, they have witnessed 6,000 murders (TV- Movies) and 100,000 acts of violence. Every 22 minutes someone is stabbed, shot, choked, beaten in our country. Highest homicide rate in the world! More children die from violence than they do illness. So Simple! - You shall not kill, yet often misunderstood, applied I. WHAT DOES THIS...
The Impossible Separation: A Funeral Message for Suicide
by Ernest Easley
Whenever a person takes their own life, we're left not only to deal with the normal emotions that come when we lose a loved one, but we're also left with a lot of unanswered questions. ''Why did this happen?'' ''Were there any signals I should have seen?'' ''Did I offer the love and support that was needed?'' Could I have done anything to prevent this?'' May I say to you who are dealing with some lingering questions that there are no final answers to those kinds of questions. That's one thing that makes times like these so hard to endure. As you struggle with this, weather you're a part of this family or a close friend, God has promised...
Compassion for Hurting People (1 of 4)
by Frank Damazio
I am convinced that we as believers can make a difference in and around our every-day living. I am believing you will be inspired and motivated to higher levels of kind and loving behavior in every-day life. This is a time to deliver love, goodness, and encouragement to others. Let us set our hearts aflame with a new desire to make a difference. In our culture today many are feeling compassion fatigue. The media shows disease, famine, war, death and we go from horrified to becoming numb, ignoring these things. How is your compassion? Apathy: lack of feelings of empathy or sympathy. Life's nature is that lives and hearts get...
The Life Worth Living (8 of 10)
by James Merritt
Many people ask is life really worth living? More and more people are beginning to answer that question with a resounding no. There are more suicides in America than there are murders. M\ore people are killing themselves than are killing others. Psychiatrists tell us that there are at least 12 million people in America who are in such deep depression they have lost all desire to live. Ernest Hemingway, the author who committed suicide, said 'life is just a dirty trick. A short trip from nothingness to nothingness. There is no remedy for anything in life, man's destiny in the universe is like a colony of ants living on the end...
How to Have Real Peace of Mind
by Rick Ferguson
Do you know what the number one illness is in America today? Do you know the one illness that more Americans suffer from than any other illness? It is clinical depression. This tells me that very few people in our day understand or enjoy real, abiding peace of mind. Let me share a few alarming facts with you: (1) Every year 50,000-70,000 people commit suicide. (2) Every 60 seconds a teenager attempts suicide. Every 90 minutes one succeeds. (3) The National Institute of Mental Health indicates that 125,000 Americans are hospitalized with depression annually. (4) Another 200,000 are treated by...
The Unpardonable Sin
by Rex Yancey
Jesus performed a double miracle on the Sabbath day. He went to a church that was filled with lost members, hypocritical preachers, and cold and unconcerned sinners. These people accused Jesus of working miracles in the power of Satan. These words brought from the lips of Jesus the message of the unpardonable sin. What is the worst sin you can think of this morning? I have a preacher friend who experienced the nightmare of every good husband and father. His wife was kidnapped by two men while he was visiting the hospital. She was held for several days and raped. All the while, she was witnessing to them...

Sanctity of Human Life
by Jason Dees
I first of all want to thank you all and let you know how excited Paige and I are to be joining you all in this endeavor to plant a church in Buckhead. First of all we see the incredible need for Gospel Centered Churches inside the perimeter and we are honored and excited to hopefully be used of God for the sake of Jesus in our city.

Choose Life (6 of 10)
by Joe Alain
The sixth commandment as well as the seventh and eighth are expressed in only two words each in Hebrew. They could be translated simply, ''No killing, No adultery, No stealing.'' The foundation for this commandment is in the creation story, in which God made man in His own likeness (Gen. 1:26-27; 9:6). Human beings are of infinite value to our Creator. Since God is the creator of all human life, all human life is sacred. Nothing is more at the heart of what has been called the Judeo-Christian tradition than the sanctity of all human life, the valuing of all human life, the born and the unborn. As with all of the commandments...
Dear God, Do You Understand I'm Depressed? (7 of 8)
by Rick White
Buzz Aldrin went to the moon, He returned to earth and found that he couldn't cope with the life to which he returned. First he went into serious depression and then he went into print and on to the talk shows to share his experience. Winston Churchill, one of the greats of human history suffered terribly from depression. He said it followed him like a black dog. Ernest Hemingway, the rugged all male he-man author of best sellers like For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea, had such a problem in this area that he eventually took his own life. Abraham Lincoln, whose House Divided Against Itself speech helped...
