    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,248 views

    What do you see in the mirror? Little faults and failures, or a beloved child of God? Just like a Mirror, we are to reflect God’s love in our lives.

    “Magic mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” These words are familiar to children of all ages. These are the words spoken by the queen in Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, as she gazes into her enchanted mirror. “Magic mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” The ...read more

    Shadow Of Death

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 27, 2020
     | 7,580 views

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the ‘shadow of death’ indicates there is a massive, bright and overwhelming light of hope behind any ‘darkness’ that haunts you. Behind any/all darkness in your life is that ‘ray of hope’, which is higher, greater, and certainly brighter than any ‘doom’.

    Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined. Often it is the feeling or condition of being afraid. Combine that with Darkness and there-in is a gripping and many times overwhelming sense of pending doom.. of certain calamity… ...read more

    The strength of our faith is tied up in our ability to hear God.

    I think that it’s important to consistently remind ourselves that we do not serve a silent God. Throughout the pages of Scripture we see a God who is involved in His people’s lives and wants to speak to them and DOES speak to them. We see in the Bible a God who desperately wants to redeem mankind ...read more

    Story form sermon about a man who put all the symbols of recognition on display, but no one noticed. Finally someone asked who helped him attain all this. The world does not need to see display cabinets; it needs to see the God who empowers us.

    Like it or not, every day, every moment, we send out messages about who we are.

    Walking As Children Of The Light

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on May 26, 2008
    based on 38 ratings
     | 9,226 views

    Three errors today’s Christians make: 1. Seeing salvation merely as a legal transaction. 2. Believing that being right is more important than treating other people right. 3. Living out of fear rather than faith.

    Walking as Children of the Light Mark 10:32-37 In the Scripture today we have one example of many where the disciples simply do not “get it.” Jesus has just expressed what is facing him, and is more vulnerable than at any other time of his life. But the disciples can only think of themselves. ...read more

    As the disciples waited for the "fire of heaven" to fall on them, they waited with expectation and preparation. It was not sitting still. I was getting ready. We as believers need to be engaged in the same preparation for God to work in us.

    Our light should shine in such a manner that men will glorify God through witnessing our good works not to glorify men and have them in admiration but ever to point to Christ, to lift Him up to have Him glorified in us.

    Mat 5:14-16 KJV Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good ...read more

    Some nights feel too dark. The text pings at midnight. The doctor’s tone is flat. The worry refuses to sleep. Yet even in a midnight room, a small nightlight steadies a child. A single candle hushes a whole room of shadows. That’s the math of heaven: a little light makes a life-sized difference. ...read more
