Every week
a Brother from Colonial Heights Christian Church came to my parents’ home in
Gray and sang hymns with them. Daddy was always ready to sing the old beautiful
hymns. As my Brother Richard sent the recording every week, I noticed that Dad
was struggling to sing this past Thursday, however he closed his eyes and with
a deep voice sang with all his heart Leaning On The Everlasting Arms, he is
there Leaning On The Everlasting Arms.
As God
called my Dad to his eternal home at 10:30 pm this Saturday June 20, his last
words were, “I don't want to be sick anymore”, he is not sick anymore he is
whole in the presence of our Mighty God, rejoicing!
I chose the
attached picture because he was doing what he loved the most, teaching God’s
Word.
Here he was
teaching the first class when we launched the Hands On Bible College in 2009.
It was Hermeneutics (How to Interpret the Bible).
Today more
than 400 men will preach, because God used him to teach. Thousands will worship
our Lord Jesus Christ, all over the world, because God used him to teach.
Heavens
gained our lost!
“The Lord
gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” (Job
1:21ESV)
We are
thankful for Dad´s legacy in teaching God's Word and we look forward to the day
we will meet again in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Blessing,
Jeff Fife
