Life is about healing.

The grace of God is the glue.

And fortunately, a gracious God has given us rational minds that we can use to do good medicine and to find good cures to very physical sickness.

I can promise you I'm looking forward to seeing my seven-year-old niece who died at the age of seven.

I'm looking forward to seeing the little granddaughter who died just before she was born into this world.

And I'm looking forward to seeing them, not because I've heard about some near-death experiences.

I think we've got to be skeptical.

And I don't think that there's enough evidence from near-death experiences to base any type of confidence that we're going to have life after death because they're near-death experiences.

Instead, I am confident I'm going to see them one day because the dead Jesus rose from the dead.

And the resurrected Lord said, I am the resurrection and the life.

He who believes in me will live even though he dies.

And that Jesus took little children in his arms and blessed them and loved on them.

So I think it's fascinating to study near-death experiences.

But the number of people who have talked to me about it and the number of people who have written about it, I think it's pretty nebulous.

This whole idea that we're all going to go towards the light.

And it really doesn't matter what you've done in your life.

It doesn't matter what you believe.

When you die, we all go to the light.

And everything's equally true.

So just embrace it, will you?
