    Today… just want to step back and help us grasp the process of being light. I think for many of us it may begin by clarifying the paradigm.

    Jesus will teach us tonight that as his disciples we still must follow the rules, so tonight we want to see how we measure up to God’s standards or rules.

And when we are ...read more
