The Final Enemy
Carl Trueman’s reflection on death is long but rewarding. “Death is thus both inevitable and terrible. It is a merciless foe. It deprives us of our loved ones and eventually will take us, too.

God is real and He has communicated Himself to human beings through mighty acts in history, through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and through the Bible.'”

In that beautiful and put-together event there was just one area that stood apart: a booth covered with pictures of broken bodies and disfigured faces.
When ministry is rooted in Jesus and his gifts, then that ministry will be all the more fruitful. —Harold Senkbeil
