Living In The Light Lane Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 4, 2021

John uses familial, language (e.g., children, young men, and fathers) to talk about the fellowship/koinonia, the church. These are terms to describe Christian maturity. The church is energized by a flow of those in each stage of maturity.

Has Christianity been rejected by many based on a caricature which has been mistaken for the real thing? Perhaps! Yet, John calls us back home, to our foundation, to the fundamental matters of our faith. God uses John to help the church repair that which is broken, to correct the twisted ...read more

We see in the Bible a God who desperately wants to redeem mankind ...read more

You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 22, 2015

Receiving And Rejecting The Light

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 17, 2021

John tells us in the prologue of his Gospel that the Light of Jesus Christ shines in the darkness that represents the sins of humanity. Some turn to the Light and others reject it, missing out on the blessings of salvation and eternal life.

In the prologue to his Gospel, John presents the Lord Jesus Christ as "the Light" that shines in darkness, and that it was John the Baptist who bore witness of His Light. The Light of Christ is offered to everyone, yet not all wanted the Light of Christ to shine upon them, and they ...read more
