    Light has the ability to penetrate and permeate the darkness. When light is introduced, darkness has to flee. Darkness and light cannot inhabit the same position. There are times when barriers prevent light from reaching darkness, but once it does, the darkness is gone.

It was given to the disciples, the followers of Jesus, and reveals much practical application to the lives we live. In our last ...read more

As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light." Do you know that as a ...read more
