In His Radiance

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. Matt5:14-16

Sunday Thinkings

Just a couple of thoughts I had today. Happened to have pen and paper on me when I thought them so I wrote them down.

The kewl thing about being saved is that our only burden is the weight of the Bible we are carrying.

Being in this world means we are called to change it. Just like missionaries go to a country to bring about change, we in a wider sense, as Christians everywhere are called to bring about change. To start in our everyday lives. Our schools, universities, workplaces, our streets. The world is our missionfield!

Many Christians have given away everything and then been finacially ruined and it is often used as an example of being careful that what you "think" God is telling you isn't stupid. Well perhaps God still is in it. Perhaps the point of givng it all away and not being blessed is really just God testing those people's faith at the extreme. At poverty. Because it's in the toughest times that people's hearts are truly tested. And those who hold dear to their faith in the Lord during these times are the ones who will indeed be blessed when they come out of it on the other side.

Just a few of my thoughts...
