A Guiding Light
Based on Isaiah 56-58, 2 Thessalonians 2
"and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:" Isaiah 58:10
Sadly, darkness and depression have been the driving force of many lives. People look in the wrong direction to try to find light & hope, and sometimes, they just stop looking altogether. This is why it's imperative to remember that Jesus is Light, and a Guiding Light at that! He doesn't just glow in magnificence; He is LEADING us somewhere...somewhere far greater than this world! We need to speak Jesus, speak life & receive the Holy Ghost in order to be lights in our community!
"and the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not." Isaiah 58:11
If we don't stop relying on Him, He will never stop guiding! We will be watered & saturated by God instead of dry & empty from this world & our own efforts! There is still Light! There is still Hope! We know His Name! We need to share it in a world which fears tomorrow...
"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." 2 Thessalonians 2:15
Hold on tight to God & the traditions in His Word, not the traditions of this world! While we may find temporary comfort in our past routines & traditions, we are still left in the dark...we need Jesus as our Guiding Light!

Psalm 34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. An empty cup. Silence. The first drop hits. Then the next. Depth starts to build. A flood. Waves back & forth. From hollow, To whole. Filled to the top. Warmth brewing From those l
Surviving the Peace Plummet
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Peacefulness is the toughest muscle there is, and exercising it only makes it stronger. However, it proves to be the most difficult to keep toned & honed consistently in our lives. Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...
A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
