with the shocking death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter and others this weekend,

some reflections on what it means to live in the light of eternity.

It's time for The Line of Fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian, Dr. Michael Brown,

your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution.

Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and President of Fire School of

Ministry.

Get into the line of fire now by calling 86634 Truth.

That's 86634 Truth.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

There are a number of families in pain this morning after that crash here in this neighborhood

and the hills in this neighborhood behind me that killed nine people. But in particular,

the loss of Kobe Bryant is hitting the LA community, the NBA community, the sports world,

and in fact people all over the world really, the NBA community, the sports world, and in fact, people all over the world

really, really hard. People are in disbelief that this global and cultural icon could be gone.

41 years old, it's 13-year-old daughter, seven others, moms, dads, kids killed in a helicopter crash yesterday, shockwaves

around the world. I got a text from our younger daughter, Megan, who follows sports a lot

since she's been a little girl. And she texted me the news. And of course, everyone's shocked

to hear it. How do we live? How do we reflect on this?

What does it mean when every day there's tragedy like this? Every day, there freak accidents and

sudden deaths and people dying of illness, children. How should we live? How can we redeem the time?

Hey friends, this is Michael Brown. Welcome to the line of fire.

Here's a number to call. If you've got questions of a general nature or comments you want to make relevant to the line of fire.
