Thank you for posting this as it has been very helpful in my preparations to preach a funeral for my Grandmother. The majority of my family is non-believing and I want to make the most of this time. If you could share the sermons you have used I would greatly appreciate being able to utilize them to finalize my plans.
Regards,
Nick

Jones http://michaelrjones.wordpress.com/2013/05/04/rob-bell-and-andrew-wilson-show-us-the-wrong-way-and-the-right-way-to-debate-theologically/#comment-726 Sun, 05 May 2013 11:25:02 +0000 http://michaelrjones.wordpress.com/?p=1900#comment-726 Thanks for reading and commenting! Yes, Bell loves to ask questions but not provide answers. He thinks he’s being profound or something but he simply reveals that he doesn’t have any answers, all he can do is ask questions.
I’ll have to head over to your blog and check out your impressions, too.

I heard Bell speak not too long ago and posted my impressions. He’s really not interested in making hard commitments, which makes his voice sound increasingly different than the voices in the biblical texts.

It is so practical and needed right now for me. I am a Chaplain at a long-term/short-term health care facility (i.e., nursing home). I am going to be doing a funeral for a beloved resident who I have no assurance that they were a believer. The family focuses on her good works so they are no help. I have only done five funerals to date. I would appreciate any samples that you could send me! Thank you sooooo much!
