EXCERPT: "Hello." [WAIT FOR ANSWER] "Hello." [PAUSE] I can wait
here all day until you say ... "Hello!" [LAUGHTER] Raise your hand
if you've ever heard Michael Gossett begin a concert or a speech or
any kind of public speaking, with that little schtick? [PAUSE] For
once, I'm not sorry. That was how I began the Eulogy for my beloved
brother Michael Leon Gossett, for the audience seated at Christian
Life Assembly church in Langley, British Columbia, Canada; on
Thursday, August 15, 2019 - ten days after Michael suddenly
experienced "the happiest day of a Christian's Life" (as our father
always told us) by means of a unexpected massive heart attack at
his home.
I'm a believer in Absolutes. I believe in the Laws of Physics,
Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Mathematics, Logic, Cosmology, and so
on ... and in the Word of God, the Bible. I believe in the Law of
Conception: that when a female's egg is united with the male's
sperm, a human being is created; and immediately upon
fertilization, the gender has been determined by the father's
chromosomes. The embryo that grows into a fetus that is delivered
as a human baby has been carrying its gender identification from
its first moment of existence. The child is either a boy or a girl;
no more, no less, and nothing in between. This is more than fact -
it is truth. The Final Arbiter of Truth is Jesus Christ.
Moses the great Law-Giver wrote five golden books for the whole
world to know what Jehovah God - the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob - had done, from the (literal) Beginning (when the Earth was
created), until the day His people entered their Promised Land.
From these books - even those that seem to be all about rules and
regulations, long lists of names and places - we have the
foundation for civilization. Humanity is supposed to live by the
Word of God, by the Laws of God, under the guidance and teaching of
God Himself. Every chapter of the book of Numbers has relevance to
the 21st century.
Its possible we psych ourselves out of reading ALL of God's Word
when we look at the Old Testament and think, "Oh dear, that's all
about laws and rules and things that cannot possibly apply to my
life today." But think again -- and read it again! In every
chapter, Jeanne Gossett Halsey finds a way to apply the Bible to
life in the 21st century. If she can find it, so can you!
The Bible has many authors, all brought together by the guidance of
Holy Spirit. In the New Testament, most people know who wrote the
four Gospels, most people know about the prolific writings of the
Apostle Paul, but not everyone knows about the Other Apostles! Here
are the voices of James, Peter, John, and Jude, one chapter at a
time.
