An IBF member was suddenly called home to heaven on January 14th after a heart attack. Since her family desired a Christian funeral, on the day I paid a visit to comfort them, we made arrangements for a funeral to be held at a nearby assembly hall. We also drew up a program which consisted of Scripture passages and hymns that the deceased loved. I asked various IBF members what passages and hymns they thought fitting to include. In addition, it was also important that I prepared well to speak from Romans 10:9-10. The passage, I hoped, would guide the faith of those who attended the funeral. My hope is to serve well on such occasions – that is, not only at weddings but also when there are funerals.
