Sports Scores, Portfolio Profits, Trophies, Awards, Business Deals, Hot Dates, Funny Jokes, ...

What will you remember when you're on your deathbed? 
What will you think about? 
What will you look back on? 

Sports Scores, Portfolio Profits, Trophies, Awards, Business Deals, Hot Dates, Funny Jokes, ...

Will you rejoice in your accomplishments?
Will you regret your mistakes?
Will you recall tender moments with family and friends?
Will you thank God for His many blessings?
Will you plead for mercy?

Or will you just lie there until you gag a final "Argh!"
and then meet your Maker unprepared?

Whether you're on your deathbed,
or you have a century or so left to live,
please keep this in mind,
and in your heart:
Whether it's laminin ...


Or the x-core of the M51 Whirlpool Galaxy ...


From the molecular level to the cosmic level,
Jesus holds the universe together,
the invisible force,
the space between the molecules,
the all-encompassing power of love!

Love so amazing, so divine,
that He would suffer and die for your sins and mine.


We've all failed God, each other, and ourselves,
so let's acknowledge our need for forgiveness,
for mercy, for grace, for love,
our need for a Savior.

John 3:16-17 (New King James Version):
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved."

Jesus offers you love, forgiveness, reconciliation.

So let's do as He commanded in John 13:34:

John 13:34 (NKJV):
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another;
as I have loved you, that you also love one another."
Yes, let us love one another.
And not just the loveable people.
Let us love all people of all faiths of all persuasions.

If we can all learn to love and forgive and help one another,
not only will the world become a much better place,
so will our hearts.



Blessings & Joy,
Dean Burkey
