As we seek to remember Nancy Rust, and her life of kind service, one of the things we must do at the same time is remember the gospel of Christ, and how the kindness of God intervened in our world to ...

Welcome, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We have gathered at a Christian funeral or memorial service, and this means that everything in it should revolve around the word honor. We are ...

Rachel Held Evans, RIP

Posted on Monday, May 6, 2019Monday, May 6, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

Rachel Held Evans died last week as the result of a severe allergic reaction to some medications. She was a very popular blogger, she was on a really unfortunate theological trajectory, and she was only 37 when she died. Where I would like to begin is with a prayer that the family and loved ones …

Anita Crews, R.I.P.

Posted on Friday, December 14, 2018Thursday, December 13, 2018 by Douglas Wilson

The theme of every Christian memorial service is this: from dust to glory. But in order to understand this properly,we need to grasp the deep reality of our fall into sin and all that it entailed. God fashioned the first man out of the dust of the ground, and because man is the image and …

Acts Nikos Christus Rex Comis, R.I.P.

Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2018Tuesday, September 4, 2018 by Douglas Wilson

The death of any of our little ones is pressing hard. We love our children, but we remember that we are only in a position to love them as we ought to because we love our Father in Heaven more than all. Whoever does not love Christ more than family cannot be a disciple, as …

Edward Driskill, Sr. R.I.P.

Posted on Monday, May 21, 2018Monday, May 21, 2018 by Douglas Wilson

One of the things that we learn from Scripture is the fact that it is the part of wisdom to be mindful of your own mortality. This is one of the important functions of funerals and memorial services. Not only do we honor the deceased, as has been done here today very ably, but we …

Helen Green, R.I.P.

Posted on Monday, August 1, 2016Sunday, July 31, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 6 comments

In one of the last conversations I had with Helen, one of the things that came out was her concerns over all her sewing. She couldn’t sew anymore. Would she be able to sew in Heaven? It would be easy to dismiss this kind of concern as a frailty, as the kind of whimsical thing …

Eileen Lawyer, R.I.P.

Posted on Friday, June 10, 2016Friday, June 10, 2016 by Douglas Wilson

We have two basic purposes in our gathering here today. The one purpose is to remember and honor the life of Eileen Lawyer, and second and more fundamental purpose is to glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mertia Kohl, R.I.P.

It was just a few months ago that I delivered the homily at the funeral of Fred Kohl, a faithful servant of Jesus Christ for many years. And now, just a matter of weeks later, I am doing the same thing for his beloved wife Mertie. “Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, …
