LONGWOOD, FL-Some say we are only promised 70 to 80 years of life in the Bible. Others teach that when we die, regardless of how or when, it is GodŐs will. But which is true? Richard Spearman's No Expiration Date (paperback, 978-1-60266-603-0) deals with the subject of our years on earth as Christians. In studying this subject and researching the Bible, the author uncovered some interesting promises overlooked by the general population of Christians. This information has the power to change our perception of GodŐs will for our lifespan on earth and tells us that God has a purpose for each one of us. Our years on this earth are important to God, and His Word reveals how important they are. We have a mission, and it cannot be completed if we die before our time.
Says Spearman, "This is an area that has not been dealt with extensively, and the Christian population should be informed of one of the premier benefits of God's promises. Christians need to understand that they have a responsibility to be obedient to the Word of God, which brings them long life."
Due to time spent grieving the early deaths of family members, Spearman now walks more closely in the Word of God and wants desperately to share with others how to reap the benefits of GodŐs promises of long life. Long life is not just a promise of God, but in fact, it is GodŐs will. Says the author, "It is not GodŐs fault when people die young, and myths that claim God has the final say of our death [are] not scriptural."
Richard Spearman has been a cabinet maker and custom furniture builder for the past 17 years. He and his family reside in Batesville, Arkansas.
