Yancey has a great book about grace. I’m trying to remember its name. It’s a thick one, like 300 pages. I first heard about it on a Christian forum.

Your post reminds me why I have the following quotation on my office door where I see it every day: “All that is not eternal is eternally useless” - C. S. Lewis.

Looks like your sermon had an effect on Truitt!
Please keep us updated on your condition. You will be in my prayers.

Yancy is right on as usual. Had he left us, Christianity would have lost a respected spokesperson for the cause of Christ among non-believers.

I need to find that message from Mr. Yancey. It sounds incredible. I’ve been haunted since my teen years about the question of whether I’ll live my life as well as possible, and I’m afraid that lately my answer would have to be “no.”

You don’t know how much reading this has meant to me. Thanks for sharing Mr. Yancey’s words with us.

Someday when you get the chance I’d love to hear about your baby blessing services. We are a young military church with LOTS of new arrivals. Whenever a baby is born into our family we have a prayer for them during Sunday morning worship. What other elements comprise your services?

Sadly… there is NOTHING in this world that brings perspective on life like tragedy.

Unfortunately … it often has to happen to us to get us to seriously ask questions like these: “Whom do I love? Whom will I miss? What have I done with my life? And am I ready for whatâ€™s next?â€

We who have committed ourselves to Christ have experiance a “life altering event”. We should live our lives as if our flesh is already dead, because it is, we killed it and laid it at the cross. We should live fearlessly, with crystal clarity, and purpose. Maybe we (I) have some more dying to do, in order to live.

Thanks for the quote Mike

Reese and Truitt are too cute! I’m sure Jenna and Kayci were two very proud mamas.

This was a fantastic speech by Yancey. I’ve seen it linked several other places as well. It’s tough to know what to say to a community that suffered the way VT did, but it seemed as if Yancey got as close as one can get to “nailing it.”

We do complicate this life with trivial things, don’t we? Why does it take a life-altering event to show us this?

Thanks for posting this, Mike.
