Rewrite Your Epitaph While You Can

Dutch Sheets writes: “When God comes into our hearts and minds, He enables us to think clearly and sanely. Revival, saving millions of people, will raise the level of common sense in our nation. Let’s appeal to heaven for the Third Great Awakening. 

“Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel awoke one morning to read his own obituary in the local newspaper. It stated: ‘Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, who died yesterday, devised a way for more people to be killed in a war than ever before, and he died a very rich man.’ But actually it was Alfred’s older brother who had died. The newspaper reporter had bungled the epitaph. Yet this false account had such a profound effect on Nobel that he decided he wanted to be known for something other than developing the means to kill people efficiently and amassing a fortune in the process. So he initiated the Nobel Peace Prize. Nobel said, ‘Every man ought to have the chance to correct his epitaph in midstream and write a new one.’”

Revival will rewrite our Nation’s epitaph.
