A Light-Matter (of Grave Import)

Below is a story of someone who came to

our very stomping grounds centuries ago to

light the world!

His commitment challenges us to a 

hold our own lights a little higher!!

From this Book-

Sometimes when those we dearly love devastate us with blatantly, 

unrepentant, sinful choices

it makes us examine how or if we have been lighting the world

or hiding it under a bushel of busyness, selfishness and distraction!

Go light your world

And fight love’s war

With kind humility

This is the day

Made by the Lord

Then lent to you and me

Go, light your world

With truth and grace

Of God’s unchanging Word

For who knows who

Is next to face

Death’s sickle undeterred

Pray for faith’s

Saving miracle

Where the drum-roll of doom

Is drowned out by

Hell’s carnival

While Judgment’s verdicts loom

A spark pierces

The deepest night

Then lift your Beacon high

For who knows who

Will see the light

That readies them to die

 

Go light your world

Proceed with prayer

And confidence in this;

No matter who, what,

When or where

God keeps his promises

Matt. 5:14-16

“You are the light of the world. 

A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 

Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, 

but on a lampstand, 

and it gives light to all who are in the house.

 Let your light so shine before men, 

that they may see your good works 

and glorify your Father in heaven.
