Title: Daily Reading 9/28/11 TO SHINE Post by: ricky023 on September 28, 2011, 11:18:43 AM "Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."
I think you’d agree with me when I say that our way of life is under unbelievable attack today. One of the biggest reasons for this is that the Western world is becoming increasingly secular and humanistic. And as we watch the news and see so much turmoil and unrest in the streets of some of the largest cities around the globe, we see firsthand the cold hard truth that life apart from God will always devolve into chaos. The problem is that too many Christians today are playing it safe. They’re standing in the shadows and keeping their mouths shut rather than courageously standing for Christ. And of all times, of all places, of all people, now is the time for men and women of faith to stand boldly. I truly believe that our world today is not beyond hope. But as a believer in Christ, you must firmly declare that any real hope is only found in Jesus Christ. You must get past the world’s way of thinking that to claim truth is “narrow-minded” or “intolerant.” If you had a magic pill that could cure any disease, would you bury it in your backyard? Jesus is the only answer for the world’s ills. So stand firmly for Jesus and allow His light to shine through you and give hope to a world searching for hope! God Bless!

This verse is from "The Sermon On The Mount" right after the beattitudes. There is some very rich text in those few chapters of Matthew. |
