Remembering Brother Viewer,
I am so heartbroken to read and hear about the death of this great child of God, a faithful child of God, one of the people who inspired me to love God through their exemplary life as an older brother in the Lord at age 73, still playing his instrument in the band and doing other work as well during the convention. I am at a total loss for words. I pray that my zeal in the Lord will continue to grow, serving God as He did at his age.
May God comfort us all in the body of Christ, DMGAC, and, more significantly, His immediate family.
I will surely miss seeing him on his instrument during worship🥲We look forward to seeing him again in the new Heaven and Earth.
I thank God for words of comfort from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others who have no hope.
Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
For this, we declare by a word of the Lord that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep, for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
