Rachel Barkey (1972-2009)

Rachel Barkey (nee Sawer) went home to glory on the July 2nd 2009. She was the speaker at a Women's event on the topic Death is not Dying, which has been an inspiration to many.

[HT: Between Two Worlds]

In light of the maddening near incessant coverage of the death of Michael Jackson, why not meditate rather on the death of our dear sister and the testimony she lefts behind? As Christians, we should be holy and separate from the world. I personally find it objectionable when Christians are in mourning over the death of Michael Jackson just like the world. [And don't give me the nonsense that we should mourn because he is lost; I don't see many people mourning for the deaths of the multitudes of the lost that die every day without Christ!] . Being called to be separate from the world, we should have tastes and desires that are not of this world, and should treasure godliness above human *talent* and popularity.
