Category: Being a Light to The World

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-10-13

Philippians 2:14-15 (NKJV) 14 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…

As God’s children, we are to shine like lights in the world. We are to reflect the light and the love of God like mirrors, projecting them onto those around us.

It’s not easy. The world has become a perverse place, overrun with so much evil that it almost seems that evil has overtaken good.

But God has given us the key to being those lights in a dark world, telling us to do all things without complaining (grumbling) or disputing (arguing).

By this simple act of holding our tongue and not complaining or arguing, we can show God’s light and His love to everyone we come into contact with.

During this very busy time of year, when so many people are under so much stress, we can touch the lives of those around us just by giving them a smile, a kind hello or a word of encouragement.

Don’t let the Christmas lights be the only things shining during this season. We should be shining even brighter!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-22-13

(Luke 8:16 NKJV)  “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.

How bright do we let our light shine?

If we are children of God and followers of Christ, we have the light of God inside of us! Jesus said we are the light of the world.

Do we let His light shine through us? Can others see Christ in us?

Every action we take during the course of a day reflects on our walk with God and represents our heavenly Father. How we behave (or not behave!) shows people around us where our heart is at.

If people know we are believers, they will be watching us to see how we react to certain things in our everyday lives.

Knowing this, let’s be the very best examples we can be and let His light shine brightly through us!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-16-13

(1 John 5:12 NKJV)  He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Do we ever wonder why, when we are around other believers or Christians, we have a good time and sometimes we don’t want our time with them to end?

Well, it is mainly because they are full of God… they have life in them. They have peace, love and JOY running through their blood. This is the gift of being in Christ!

We need to pay attention to who we get involved with. If they belong to God we will know and let me tell you that if they are not, we will know. Spending too much time with people that are not God’s children will bring us down…no matter how we look at it. There is no life in them and they will bring death to those around them.

This doesn’t mean we don’t reach out to those that don’t know God, but we must let the Holy Spirit guide us in doing so. We can not do this on our own.

Reaching out is different then HANGING out. Let us not kid ourselves today in saying, “we are just trying to help them. They need me.”

If we are being pulled into their arena, we are not helping them. They are hurting us and our relationship with Christ.

Be blessed.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-10-13

(2 Corinthians 6:17 NKJV)  Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”

This verse is so often improperly quoted and too many times taken way out of context. So let’s bring some clarity to it today.

When we are told to “come out from among them”, we are being told to be different than “them”. We are not necessarily being told to physically separate ourselves from the rest of the world

We are physically in the world. We cannot leave the world in a physical sense. It’s impossible. So how do we “come out from among them”? By our actions and our behavior.

We are to be the light of the world. This means we are to present God to everyone with our words and our actions. We are to show His love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion.

This is what it means to come out from among them! This is how we reach a lost and dying world.

If we were to remove ourselves from society we would never reach anyone with the message of the Gospel and we would never be faced with anything that would test our faith and help us to grow.

So go into the world today and shine God’s light. Show His love. Practice His forgiveness, compassion and mercy. You can make a difference in someone’s life!!
