Crowds gathered each week to hear the soul-stirring sermons of Joseph Parker, the famous pastor of London’s City Temple in the late 19th century. Then a crisis hit him hard. His wife died after an agonizing illness. Parker later said he would not have allowed a dog to suffer as she did. A heartbroken husband whose prayers had gone unanswered, he confessed publicly that for a week he had even denied that God existed.

                    [Summary] => We are . . . well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. – 2 Corinthians 5:8


Joseph Parker (1830-1902) was a beloved English preacher. When his wife died, he didn’t have the customary wording inscribed on her gravestone. Instead of the word died followed by the date of her death, he chose the word ascended.

Pastor and author Joseph Parker (1830-1902) commented about the closing words of ISAIAH 35:10, "Sorrow and sighing shall flee away." He said, "Looking through the dictionary, you will occasionally come across a word marked ‘obsolete’. The time is coming when the two words sorrow and sighing shall be obsolete. The things which mar life here and now will then belong to the past."
