    Jesus calls us to be salt and light. A watching world needs to "taste the Lord and see that he is good." People need our preserving influence, and they need to see the light of Christ shine through us. You may be the only Bible some will ever read.

    Matthew 5:13-16 Making a Lasting Impact Do you ever yearn to make a difference in the world? To do something significant with your life?

    In this world torn by pandemic, tragedy, and violence, we turn back to the beginning, to what God created us to be. Order out of disorder, light out of darkness, all of us made in God's image

    Looking back over the last few weeks, perhaps the best word we can use is chaos. We have seen chaos as a disease struck our nation. We have seen chaos as hospitals have been overwhelmed and more than 100,000 have died. We have seen chaos as businesses closed and people lost their jobs. We have ...read more

    God’s grace awakens us from spiritual slumber, inviting us to embrace Christ’s love, leave behind darkness, and live each day clothed in His light.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,202 views

    Some of us choose darkness, like moles burrowing into the ground. Our behavior becomes obsessively demonic, for which there are consequences. The Gospel calls us to be what God has made us to be, creatures living in the light, with passion.

    Well, now, are you a mole or a soul? I want you to identify yourself, clearly and unequivocally, are you a mole or a soul? I suppose that does require a bit of explanation. A mole is a little creature that lives out its life underground, in the darkness, endlessly burrowing to and fro and making ...read more
