Our ministry is to reach out to the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help believers be equipped with a solid knowledge of the Word of God, the Bible, and be encouraged to apply it in every aspect of their daily lives. There are simple truths for these complex times to help people live in a way that brings real spiritual victory to them and more importantly, through the Lord Jesus Christ, glory to God our Father.

Matthew 5:14
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Jesus continued on to say to His disciples that they, and all of us today who are His disciples, are to let that light shine before men in such a way that they may see our good works, and glorify our Father who is in heaven. {Mat. 5:16}

The Lord had spoken through the prophet Isaiah hundreds of years before that to say to the people of God, "Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you.” {Is.60:1-2} It seems as though that darkness here in our day now grows deeper with every passing day. A single flame can penetrate darkness (Heb.? choshek), but that ‘deep darkness’ (Heb. araphel) is like a fog. The light just bounces off!

God’s Word is a lamp and a light {Ps.119:105} and it is the ‘generator’ in us who have the Holy Spirit that powers the light that shines through us. It still today has the power to slice through the fog and touch the hearts of those whose names were written in the Book of Life of the Lamb before the foundation of the world. {Rev.13:8} The power of life and death is in the tongue, {Prov.18:21} and that is the power we have been entrusted with!

All true believers, disciples in fact not just in name, should be encouraged and highly motivated by God's love that was expressed by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, to ‘work the works of Him as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.’ {Jn. 9:4} So let us joyfully and continually proclaim the excellencies of Him who called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. {1Pt.2:9} So, as we close with a rousing chorus of “This Little Light of Mine” thought to be written by Harry Dixon Loes around 1920, consider these words of Jesus…

“And I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God; but he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.” (Luke 12:8-9)
