I know a bunch of you out there have active ministries and active lives and manage to post to your blogs regularly. You are better than me. But lately it has been really hectic for me.
I preach at an outreach every Tuesday and preach a service every Friday. I have done a wedding each of the past two weeks and will preach an additional time Wednesday night of this week. And don’t forget I don’t preach for a living. I have to hustle to make ends meet through secular employment.
But this week on top of trying to work to support my family and before preaching Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, I have to do my first funeral tomorrow. Doing the funeral is no big deal except the person was not saved. And nobody in the family is saved (except maybe the chain smoking lady who is married to the ex-husband of the deceased). Oh, and I did not know her, or her family.
When I talked to the family they said things like, “She was really stubborn.” and “she was a complete narcissist.” Not exactly memories of comfort to pepper your sermon with.
So if you are less busy than me, please pray that I get some level of wisdom for this funeral.
And if you happen to have a funeral sermon on your desk that is suitable for a stubborn narcissist that did not know the Lord that I could deliver to a room full of people who have no faith in the Scriptures would you mind emailing it to revivalblog@gmail.com?
Thanks
