Life is Short: Whitney Houston, Dead at 48

Today we received the news that music legend, Whitney Houston, died today at the young age of 48.

Her music has a major impact on culture, and though beginning in the Gospel music genre, moved later to pop music.

She had many troubles in her life with drugs, but was looking to a comeback around her death.

My prayers are with the family.

There is one thing we can ALL learn from this and that is that life is too futile. We could all die anytime.

None of us can directly speak too where Whitney is now, but the question remains, where will you go when you die?

When all men die, we must stand before a Holy, Perfect God.

If we've ever told a lie, no matter how small, it makes us liars. God also looks to the heart of man and sees the motives behind what we do. Jesus hatred is the same as murder and lust is the same as adultery. (Just take a look in Matthew 5)

If we die in our sins, God, being a Holy Judge, must punish sin in a terrible place called Hell.

But, God made a way for us too be saved. He sent Himself in the form of Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the Cross for our sins. Jesus paid our fine before God, so that we can go free. All we must do is repent and Trust in Christ for salvation.

You never know when you are going to die. Repent and Trust in Christ today.

 "For God so loved the world, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." ~John 3:16

 "In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
~Acts 17:30-31
