    God peruses people to not stumble in darkness, but come by faith in Him, to everlasting light.

    Joy comes with the dawning of the light. But the light would not dawn on the generation of Isaiah’s day. It would come in the future.

    Choose Light

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 20, 2023
     | 782 views

    If we are willing to turn toward truth, even though it means we have to admit we have been wrong, then we will find ourselves being drawn to Jesus.

    How often have you heard someone say, “it’s not fair for God to punish otherwise good people who don’t believe in Jesus?" It’s like saying, “It’s not fair that I can’t see the Statue of Liberty without going to New York.” That’s where it is! And yet God has not only given us maps and signposts ...read more

    Jesus came to call sinners to himself. Do I fit that description? Am I a sinner?

    Don’t Call me a Sinner! Matthew 9:9-13 “I don’t think I am a sinner. Sinners are bad people. Hitler comes to mind. He was bad and evil and when he died I think he went straight to hell. Straight to hell! He deserved hell. There are lots of people I hear about in the news that are sinners. ...read more

    We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are not called to withdraw from public life into our safe and cozy Christian circles. We are called to make a difference in a world full of darkness, fear, violence, and foolishness.

    [Sermon preached on 21 October 2018, Reformation Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We sing it almost every Sunday in church with the kids: “This little light of mine—I’m gonna let it shine. Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine.” But I wonder how many of us really think about what we sing. ...read more

    Darkness is above all else; deceptive. The call of Christ if for us to step out of this darkness and into the light of His glory and grace.

    John the Baptist knew who he was not and who he was, and accepted his task of pointing to Christ. Our mistakes are imagining that we are more than we are, or that we are less than we are. The real task is: just point to the light.

    My son and his wife live in a five-level townhouse in Reston, Virginia. You enter into a kind of combination corridor and stairwell at the second level.
