     | 732 views

    Believers are sons of light and sons of day and do not walk in darkness. The last days see increasing darkness, but we walk in the light of Jesus. The breastplate of faith and love and the helmet of the hope of salvation are vitally important.

    THE CHRISTIAN IN MODERN TIMES – THE LAST DAYS, AND HOW TO LIVE IN THEM – THE BREASTPLATE AND HELMET - PART 3 We continue to look at living in these current days, one of turmoil and declining values and increasing opposition to godliness.

    Studies show that 11 percent of adults are still afraid of the dark. However, the fear of spiritual darkness may be a more common problem. Psalm 27:1 says the Lord is our light. Why should be afraid of the dark?

    WHO'S AFRAID OF THE DARK? Introduction: The natural tendency of human beings is to be afraid of the dark. Early humans were afraid of the darkness because of an unexpected attack from animals or enemies in the night. Researchers have concluded that fear of darkness is still due ...read more

    Have an impact on society through the 1) Presupposition of the world’s corruption and darkness, the 2) Plan for believers’ godly dominion in the world, the 3) Problem of the danger of failure, and the 4) Purpose of glorifying God.

    Chuck Colson recently gave an interesting scenario: “Imagine the following social experiment: You divide up (people) into two groups. Those who agreed to live by traditional moral values live in certain (locations). Those who reject traditional values take up residence in other (locations) that ...read more

    (I used Andy Stanley’s outlining method of me, we, God, you, we. You will see those broken down in the text of sermon. Also, I blacked out the windows and turned off the lights so that it was as dark as I could get it. Lights out where it says DARK and lights back on when it says LIGHT.) Dare ...read more

    People see the world from different angles. I’d like to suggest that the Holy Spirit gives us Christ’s perspective. We need to start seeing the world through Christ-colored glasses, which is not the same as rose-colored glasses. Jesus saw compassionately, but he also saw clearly and realistically.

    How many of you own a flashlight? I probably have half a dozen, and most of them have dead batteries in them. I’d be lost without the flashlight app on my smart phone, because it’s always charged. It works. It helps me see where I’m going. It is, to use Jesus’ word, healthy. I think you can all ...read more

    Easy As Falling Off Your Horse

    We, like Paul, as followers of Christ, Christians, are sent to the Gentiles of our time: secular humanists, moral relativists, materialists, even atheists, to open their eyes, like Saul’s were opened by Ananias, so they may turn from darkness to light.

    In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Today we celebrate the Apostle Paul’s conversion. As Saul Paulus of Tarsus, he was a rising star in the rabbinical leadership of the time. When Saint Stephen was stoned to death as the first Christian martyr, Paul stood by, ...read more

    Using 2 video clips I begin by encouraging people to turn to Christ if they haven’t yet. Then I unpack this passage as to what it means to live as children of light, full of forgiveness, avoiding even a hint or a whiff of impurity.

    (Note to the reader: I began this talk by showing a video called Ribbons, available from PremierTV2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9K86vcHOLI. It shows how Jesus took upon himself the penalty for sin and all that binds us; see 1 Peter 2: 24-25.) ‘[Jesus the Messiah] himself bore our sins in ...read more

    Our words and deeds should not mimic the world’s futile search for significance but should instead reflect a passion for God so strong and divinely initiated that our good deeds point to the sinless One who holds the keys to both death and life.
