It's the rotting odor of death, no matter how glamorously it is perfumed. So, don't get used to the smell. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/immune-to-the-smell-2898 2009-09-25T13:57:45-05:00 Ask God to make you what Romans 16:19 calls "wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil." Innocent about evil, not intrigued by what is evil. Sin stinks. It's the rotting odor of eternal death, no matter how glamorously it is perfumed. Don't ever get used to the smell. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%204:13&version=NIV 2009-09-18T10:59:42-05:00 The death of a loved one is painful and heart-wrenching. But Christians have something that the rest of the world does not, when it comes to their perspective on death: hope. For Christians, death is not final.
