Friday I went to the funeral service of a long time pastor friend, Bernard Rinks. I called him Saint Bernard. We were in college together over 50 years ago at St. Louis Baptist College; now know as Missouri Baptist University. He pastored for over 30 years at the Prospect Baptist Church in Lone Dell Missouri. Prospect is a fine open country church. Now it is located right on Hwy. 47 Near St. Clair Mo.

One of the young men who surrendered to preach under his ministry and his minister brother led the service and did a very good job. Bernie grew up in St. Louis and got involved in a very wild life style. He became a very heavy drinker and got drunk on many occasions. Yesterday his brother said Bernie was a Rat. They both used to get in fights in the bars. Jack, his brother, went off in the military service and Bernie got saved. Jack said he had no idea what being saved meant. He and Bernie lived on a street in St. Louis where he said all up and down the street people went to church every Sunday but did not show a difference. Then Bernie got radically saved. Jack had never seen any body who got radically changed and it befuddled him.

Jack gave a great testimony about how Bernie a Rat of a young man got saved and was radically changed.

Bernie will appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ for his Judgement. This is not a judgement related to salvation but for heavenly rewards. Every Christian likewise Must appear before Christ at this time of Judgement.
