On Robin Williams...

To my fellow Christ-following friends: Another Hollywood actor has died. It's terribly, terribly sad. All I can think about is the final judgement that awaits him - the same that awaits me, and you. Some how "rest in peace" feels like an incompatible sentiment when quite possibly, if we know the Scriptures, peace may never again be within his reach. And raising a glass? How can we celebrate, with a glass no less, the passing of a man whose eternity separated from his maker is a real possibility? It makes me ache. Yes, hopefully somewhere along the line he trusted in Christ as his risen Savior, but I haven't heard anything yet that would give me that hope. Further proof that this world has nothing to offer. So instead of and empty "RIP" when something this tragic happens to someone the "world" esteems, let's not miss the opportunity to ask the people around us the hard questions. Let your light shine. Don't miss another chance to tell THE good news. Your tweet might force people to finally seek the truth. This sorta' stuff hits me hard.
