Well-lit

I enjoy driving at night and seeing the warmth of a well-lit house permeating
the velvet darkness around it. Regardless of what the neighborhood may look
like in the daytime, the contrast of the light in the night makes even the least
attractive places appear inviting. Flip the image, though, and a boarded-up
house on a sunny day becomes an antagonistic sight, even to the most
tenacious of visitors.
Reminding the church at Ephesus that belief culminates action, Paul
explained that all of the answers for life could be found in the testimony of
Jesus (Eph 5: 1-2). Centuries earlier, Isaiah had prophesied: The people who
walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep
darkness, a light will shine.More than a model of good choices, Jesus is
Himself the light God promised (John 1-4-5, 8:12).
Paul defined salvationthe freedom from sin and its consequencesas a
distinct movement from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of [Gods]
dear Son (Col 1:13). To walk in the light requires our repentance and worship;
then the lifeand lightof Jesus permeates every part of our being. We dont
earn it by works but by the grace of our Lord! (Copied) --------Roger

Pastor Jonathons Word of The Week

I want to be a more serious-minded Christian,
more detached from this world, more ready for
heaven than I have ever been in my whole life.
I want an ear that is sharp to know the voice of
the enemy; whether it comes from religion,
politics, or philosophy ... I would rather stand
and have everybody my enemy than to go
along with the crowd to destruction. Do you
feel that way? ------A.W. Tozer

~Jonathon
