Handle Suicide With Grace And Truth
- For suicides, walk a fine line: show grace about the person's state of mind while teaching biblical truth about life and God.
- Use compassion and clear teaching to avoid giving false encouragement toward self-harm.
High-Profile Funeral Led To Conversion
- Dave Stone shared a high-profile funeral where a radio personality he baptized was broadcast widely and led a truck driver to faith.
- Public funerals can reach non-church audiences and produce unexpected conversions.
Link Character To Scripture, Not Destiny
- When someone dies without faith, focus on their good attributes and link those traits to biblical themes without declaring the person's eternal destiny.
- Ask the family when the person made a spiritual commitment or how they evidenced faith before claiming heaven for them.
