Round the Sphere Again: A Funeral Edition

Updated with a new link below.

Costly Death
I bet you’ve heard it read at funerals: “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” It’s a lovely thought, and undoubtedly true, but D. A. Carson argues that this bit of Psalm 116 might best be translated with a whole different spin. (For the Love of God)

Seeking a Homeland
John Bird asks, “Why Do Funerals Make Me Homesick?” For me it’s weddings, too, and for pretty much exactly the same reason, I think.

Added June 25: Service Essentials
Four things that must be proclaimed at a funeral. (Brian Croft)
