Easy Ways We Can All Be God's "Lights Of The World" To Others

Image courtesy of: programmeridea Good day friends, I hope you are all well today! Today’s message is simple; How we as Christians can become “lights of the world”, meaning I’m going to share some simple ways that can help us all become shining examples of God’s love, kindness, gentleness, forgiveness, and grace for all to see, in order to bring glory and honor to His name. This is precisely what Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:14-16 when he was preaching to a crowd on a mountainside by the Jordan River one day, that; “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Say what, how can I go out in and amongst the world and be a “light” to others when my lamp was just lit or because of sin my lamp doesn’t shi

How do we know this? Because in Galatians 1:7-9 Paul tells the churches this; “Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.  But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so I now sa

And while prayers of peace, comfort, and freedom for our fellow brothers and sisters is being sent from all corners of the world, there are those Christians and non- Christians alike that are saying they would take-up arms or do whatever it takes to protect their families and their Christian beliefs. For many non-Christians to respond like that is a no-brainer. But for a Christian… Our faith is everything If we are believers in Christ, our most sacred treasure, and one of our most important messages that we evoke, is our faith in God. But when it comes to God, faith is a big word. It’s a covenant between God and all His people whereby when we extol our abiding faith in Him, in return we receive His wonderful merit, His never-ending love, and His all-consuming grace. A covenant is an agreement; a contract be

Reports have recently been confirmed that a school recently converted to a United Nations refuge for families displaced from their homes, was struck by an Israeli missile, after weeks of fighting in and around the Gaza Strip continues.
