Have you and your family talked about the certainty of your deaths, and how that should impact your lives now? Not talking about death won’t postpone it a moment. Talking about death won’t bring it a moment sooner. But it will give us opportunity to be better prepared when it comes.

Randy Alcorn addresses the tragedy and joy in death for the believer. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Though we mourn, our mourning should be mixed with worship of God and thanksgiving for the life of the loved one who has died.
