  • To the Smith Family
    We take this time to expres our personal condolences to the family of Renee L M Smith. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends during this time of great sadness. We encourage all grieving hearts to please draw tender comfort and mercy from this loving promise from God. In the promise, God tells us that He would soon use His great powers to restore life back to a great host of those who have died. The promise is recorded at John 5:28-29. As the text states, that God would cause a calling to go forth to those in the grave to stand up in life again.. From this one promise God is giving us His personal guarantee that Renee, anda great host of others will stand up in life again. The resurrection arrangement will be possible because God is the source of life for all things. (Psalm 36:9) Really the future will bright not only for ourselves, but also for those who have fallen asleep in death. We certainly understand that many may have a meassure of doubt as to if this arrangment will really take place. So, to help all to develop strong faith in this promised blessing,, God has preserved nine accounts in the Bible that speaks about the resurrection hope from God. Here is just one such example that is recorded at Acts 9:36-42. I hope that all will get a chance to see how these verses apply to Renee and others in a very special way. So, in closing, we encourage all to please keep this promise of God near your hearts at all times. Remember that when God makes a promise, it becomes reality. For it is impossible for God to lie. (Titus 1:2)
