Death is inevitable
All living beings under the sun above the earth including all human beings— believers, unbelievers, heathen or any one else, for that matter. Psychologists believe that strangely very few think of death consciously because of some inbuilt mechanism in the brain that induces it to avoid such thoughts. The mind repels unpleasant thoughts in general. It is only spiritual people who can overcome such tendencies. The reason for this courage is their faith in the facts mentioned in the Bible. The Bible actually teaches that death is really very fearsome to everyone in this world except to those who are genuine believers. This leads us to the classification of death.

Reality of heaven and the hazardous path to it Part 1

(GB Message)

Before commencing the series of lectures on this subject, I would like to advise you to honestly introspect and see how prepared you are to enter into God’s heavenly kingdom. This self-examination is essential in order to understand these lectures and derive maximum benefit.

The first step is to see how controlled are your earthbound affections.

The next important step is to carefully examine and see how you are affected or influenced by the following:

The terror of death: People from denominational church backgrounds have developed in them dreadful thoughts about heaven due to association of thoughts with funeral houses. In such churches, only during funeral times they talk about heaven. When I went to visit my dying sister, my daughter or son-in-law suggested that we sing a song about heaven. A Pentecostal pastor who was also present, felt that it was too soon to sing such a song, and suggested another song to sing. We, in this church have overcome such a feeling considerably. Nevertheless that association of thought is not that easy to erase from the mind of many. I hope this series of talks will help many to overcome such gloomy thoughts altogether.
