The Humbleness of Our Calling3/10/2018 We are the light of the world, the city set on a hill, the ones to whom God has shone in our hearts and given us the light of the gospel. While all this may sound prestigious and noble, our calling is actually rather humble. Paul was used mightily by the Lord because he understood this concept and fully accepted his role with humility, faithfulness, and gratefulness. He wrote in II Corinthians 4:7: “But we have this treasure [the light of the gospel] in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.”

Light in the Darkness3/7/2018 Utter darkness. A world blinded by the lies and deceit of Satan. Hopeless, lost, slaves to sin, and broken beyond human repair. Into this bleak world, God brought hope, help, redemption, and light. “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
~II Corinthians 4:6 A Blinded World3/5/2018 Author's Note: Sorry this post is late! The weekend turned out to be a bit crazy and I lost track of which day it was. So here's a little something for your Monday. May God bless you through it! Have you ever wondered why the world is still so dark? Despite how advanced humanity may seem or how highly civilized everyday life has become there is still a level of savageness and depravity within our culture. We see it revealed in the daily headlines, and the tragic tale of yet another massacre and act of terror.
Why? This is the question so many are asking as they try to figure out the cause behind mankind’s biggest morality issues. Philosophers theorize, physiologists observe, and psychiatrists speculate, but they can’t seem to come up with an answer. |
