    Blinded By Darkness

    We commonly associate temporary blindness with bright light, such as looking directly into the sun. It seems strange, then, to read a scripture which tells us that we can be blinded by the darkness! Darkness makes the eyes more alert, more receptive.

    “BLINDED BY DARKNESS” Rev. Mike Reed, Winter Haven, Florida March 2014 1 John 2:9-11 1 John 2:14 Psalm 112:4 Proverbs 4:18-20 John 8:12 Luke 11:34-35 Psalm 18:28 1 Peter 2:9-10 1 John 2:9-11, 14 (New Living Translation) 9 If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but ...read more

    Bartimaeus has been born blind. In THOSE earlier times if you were BORN blind, you'll die blind, without the prospect of being cured. The ONLY thing THIS man could do well, was being a beggar. THEN, Jesus walked into his life and changed it forever.

    Mark 10:51-52 (NIV) 51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” 52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. Here we ...read more
