Life's Flimsy Substance

The explosion of the space shuttle Columbia occurred at the very moment that visitation was beginning prior to the funeral of Mark Barnes in the Free Presbyterian Church of Malvern, Pennsylvania. God drew these events together to emphasize the lesson of the tenuous nature of life and the need to make every day count for Christ. The question in the text compels everyone to ponder the right relationship with Jesus Christ so as to be prepared for the moment when the vapor that is life vanishes.
