The Funeral Message of an Unbeliever
Brief Sermon Overview:
What should a pastor do or say when he is faced with the responsibility of preaching the funeral of one who has passed away in unbelief, having no interest in the things of God.
Should you lie . . . or tell them the truth about God?
If you have 22 minutes to consider eternity, it might well mean your eternal welfare.
Brewa J C from Nepal (11/2/2008)
“ An Inconvienent Truth ”
Yes! let the Body of Christ knows that, its not the amount of people that attend one funeral or the praises of men for the decease, that matters but only by receiving The Lord as our Saviour whilst alive backed up by total obedience to the word of God can one make it for heaven. Moreover, in funeral sevices, the fate of an unbeliever in eternity should be preach undiluted as stated by the word of God.

The message was great, I wish I could have been there, praying that God would allow it to make its proper impression on me to be more concerned for the lost. Richard Baxter wrote in 1656, Shall thousands die and go to hell before thou wilt speak one serious word to prevent it ? Will they not there curse thee for ever that thou didst no more in time to fave them ?" I confess that I seldom hear the bell toll for one that is dead but conscience asks me, "What hadst thou done for the saving of that soul before it left the body? There is one more gone into eternity ; what didst thou do to prepare him for it ?" — When you are laying a corpse in the grave, how can you help reflecting with yourselves to this purpose : " Here lies the body, but where is the soul?

This is a great sobering message. We need all pastors to preach this message at unbelievers funerals. You have a captive audience so why not. I think the Lord would be very pleased with the message.

Thank you for your teaching of the Truth of the Bible. I have been to so many funerals where the pastor essentially told everyone that they would all see the departed when they get to heaven, with no gospel given. The church today has deceived so many into thinking they are saved because they said a little prayer when nine at VBS.

WOW! A sermon which should be preached at all unbelievers funeral's and a wonderful example of the Gospel being proclaimed like a trumpet! Christ exalting and man debasing! Preach on Brother Fortner!!!

Dear Bro. Fortner, I have learned to cherish your Sermons and recommend that others listen. But today, I listened to the message preached at a funeral and I am stunned to find that you put forth the question and the answer that I am trying to deal with. Based on a message I heard in church yesterday I told the Pastor I needed to talk with him. It seemed to me he was giving unsaved people assurances meant only for God's redeemed people. Thanks to you I have my answer. I am so glad for the internet. I would otherwise starve for good teaching. God bless you in all His good things.
The Lie of Most Churches
Brief Sermon Overview:
God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie. The lie is that man has done something to merit God's favor. He is sitting in the temple of God shewing himself that he is God.

TWO YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE STRONLY FOUGHT YOU ON THIS SERMON LARRY, BUT PRAISE THE LORD, THAT "HE" BRINGS THOSE THAT ARE TRULY "HIS" TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. ONLY BY READING AND STUDYING GOD'S WORD, CAN WE FIND THIS TRUTH AND ONCE WE FIND IT, I CAN SAY OF MYSELF, HOW WERE YOU SO BLINDED BEFORE? AMEN AND GOD BLESS

“ Refreshing!! ”
Arminian, synergism,and semi-pelagianism, is running full force in the churches today. We live in an anti-Calvinistic area. It is SO dry here. Reformed Theology is out and we are in a huge spiritual war. Why people think they can take some of the credit for being saved is beyond us. False conversions, and 'decisional' regeneration' are in and the Spurgeons, Calvins, Pinks, Knoxs, Augustinians, and etc. are out. People get really upset with you when you tell them God did it all. Go figure!! And no we don't believe in the 'free will'lie.
Billy Graham Robert Schuler-False Prophets
Brief Sermon Overview:
Jeremiah lived in a time like today when there were many false prophets preaching lies saying they had received a revelation from God in a dream and telling everyone what they wanted to hear rather than the truth.
This is exactly what is happening in our world today. God is angry at the so-called preachers and leaders today who are going against the very Word of God in their messages of tickling people's ears.
The New World Order Rockefellers, Rothschilds, DuPonts, Bundy, Collins & Kennedy Synagogue of Satan
Brief Sermon Overview:
Are the Masonic Lodge, the Knights Templar, the Illuminati and the 13 ruling families of the world a part of Satan's master plan?
Mike H from Toronto (7/27/2008)
“ Great Sermon! ”
There ought to be more preachers who expose the New World Order. After all, it is this group of people who plan on bringing about the Antichrist's government. Even the best churches totally ignore the issue, and refuse to talk about it in church. I guess they don't want to lose their status as a nonprofit if they speak out against the government. Is there no good church these days? They are all corrupt!

“ Great Sermon! ”
I ASK WHY THERE ARE SO FEW OF US WHO ARE AWARE OF ALL THESE THINGS LARRY. WHY AREN'T THE CHURCHES EXPOSING THIS KIND OF INFORMATION? WHEN I FIRST WAS TOLD OF THESE THINGS BY A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE, I THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY UNTIL I STARTED TO DO MY OWN RESEARCH AND WITH AN OPEN MIND BEGAN TO SEE THE TRUTH. I'M AFRAID THE MAJORITY OF SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS, ARE JUST TOO BUSY BEING IN THE WORLD TO EVEN CONSIDER FOLLOWING UP ON ANY OF THIS AND IT IS A SHAME. I'M SO GLAD I AM NOT IGNORANT AND HAVE GOD FEARING MEN LIKE YOU IN MY LIFE TO BRING THE TRUTH TO LIGHT. GOD BLESS
The Word of Faith Deceptions
Brief Sermon Overview:
The prominent TV preacher's exposed for the deceptive wolves they are. These few elitest "Christians" are well known to everyone and are in the loop of the illuminists "Christian" branches of the occult to deceive Christians and put them to sleep to the things concerning their control and plans toward a one world order with a one world religion.
