The following exhortation was given at Christ Church Downtown.
Proverbs 10:7 reads, “The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.”
Or put another way, the name of the righteous is blessed in being remembered—there’s memory of it, while the name of the wicked will perish, being ultimately forgotten.
Now one can think of many infamous and wicked men, such as Hitler, and ask then why their names live on; while countless missionaries or ordinary Christians who led many to the Lord in their lifetimes have been forgotten by their communities and even their families.
