Exposed by the Light
We live in dark times as Christians today. The darkness of sin and evil is possibly the worst it has ever been. We cannot be complacent. We cannot allow the influence of these things into our lives to pull us back into the world. Instead, we need to expose this evil to the light of…

You Can’t Turn Back
(Galatians 4:8-11) When we are called to come to Jesus Christ, there is only one way that we can go. Forward! You can’t go back, nor should you want to go back. If we seek to go back or even if we mistakenly think about our past and wish we could be “back in the…

Why also do people hate him still today? There is certainly a common understanding among all people that Jesus did good things. He healed…

(John 12:44-46) How many times have you heard these words uttered, “Help me Father God?” Perhaps you have uttered them yourself in a time of darkness or despair when everything seemed hopeless. Seeking the help of the Father in such situations is normal, for Jesus taught us to pray to the Father and He told…

The darkness and the night cease to exist at the coming of the light. The darkness…
