Singing with Inspiration – Lesson 2 — 7 Comments

  1. Two weeks ago last night, my 14 year old son Lane was killed suddenly in a dirt bike accident along our driveway. At his celebration of life service last Sabbath afternoon the closing musical number is where lift up the trumpet followed by we have this hope! I was comforted and encouraged by this song at the time, and again this week as I returned to work seeing patients. His grandpa, retired pastor Larry Milliken, preached a powerful message of the hope that we have in the resurrection to a packed house with many non Adventists in attendance. We pray that God will use this tragic event for good and that others will be in the Kingdom as a result of his brief life. The program is archived on the Calhoun Seventh-day Adventist Church's Facebook page, or may be seen at www.calhounadventist.church.com/watch-us-live.

    • To the Van Arsdell family

      My heartfelt condolences on your loss. What a tragedy! Thank you however for sharing the link to Lane's celebration of life service, I followed it (link) and listened to the whole service. Regardless of the fact that I am on the other side of the globe (Australia), didn't know Lane and neither have I met your family I was so overcome with grief that tears were flowing endlessly down my face as I listened to your narration of Lane's miraculous birth. Speaker after speaker testified how Lane had grown to be a likeable God-fearing young man and how sad his life had to be curtailed at such a tender age and under such tragic circumstances.

      Please draw comfort in knowing that your boy's life was not in vane. I for one am now a better Christian thanks to the testimonies on Lane's life by those who had the privilege to interact with him during his very short but impactful life. I am so looking forward to the resurrection morning and hope to meet not only my dear departed family members and friends but also strangers who have had an impact in my Christian walk -Lane is one of them.

  3. To the Van Arsdell family

    We do have This Hope, and I have prayed God will sincerely put His loving arms of comfort around you until we see the face of Jesus when He comes in the clouds of glory. Oh, may that time be VERY soon, so we may meet our precious loved ones again in the Earth Made New where there is no pain, no more tears, no more suffering. Much of God's blessings from your Church Family members here in Australia
