Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on May 11, 2007

Family Ties Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 9, 2011

One of the names by which Christians are known is "Light.” Christians are supposed to be the light in this dark world. Christians are supposed to show the way to people who do not know the way. They are supposed to direct those who are in darkness
