In the Gospel of John, in chapter three, we find that God has already done everything for any person to step into His light and be restored into Life; to be restored into the relationship with God we were created for. We also find that people refuse to accept the love and goodness of God’s grace because they fear the exposure of the truth that they actually love the darkness. It has become an addiction. Darkness promises wholeness but only bores deeper holes, increasing emptiness in the human soul.

The extremely sad thing is that God has already seen the full extent of damage done to human living by our love of darkness. It’s exposure for what it is terrifies us, but God, having already seem it completely wants us to know that is why Jesus came the first time: because we cannot rescue ourselves from our addiction to darkness.

God loved the world (that’s all people-groups; every individual) so much that He gave His one and only Son, to the end that ALL who would believe in Him would have everlasting life. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved by Him.

God has offered to each one the privilege of repentance, of coming clean, entering into His penetrating light so that we can see that God has already paid the price to redeem and rescue us. The light shows clearly that we have always needed outside help. We have always needed a Savior, and He came once to die our death and rise again to give us a new life and He is coming again.

True wisdom bears the strong mark of humility. Come today, out of the darkness that will never truly satisfy the hunger that rages in you. You need a Savior; I need a savior. It is the truest fact for all humanity. God has already done what we can never do. Come into His light. Believe and receive.

WHAT DO YOU BLESS? It would be an act of utter folly and disaster were I to choose to "bless" what God will not bless. God's wrath is set against anything and anyone that would try and hinder you becoming all He created you to be and to grow in by being united to Him through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing arbitrary about the Word of God. He is very specific on what will make for life and what will not. Human life only becomes human life when the Holy Spirit becomes Life withing a believer. Being united to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus becomes a new creation and begins to live Life as God intended. God begins the good work, and He is the One who will bring it to competition. Somethings will NEVER make for life. What God calls sin, missing the mark of what will make for life, is always sin regardless of what culture anywhere and anytime say to the contrary. Sin cannot save, heal, redeem, restore or remake...

 INFINITELY MORE Ephesians 3:20-21 " Now all glory to God, Who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.   Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen." In the Gospel of John, many of His followers turned away because of the covenant commitment He required of those who would follow Him. That covenant declared that what was to happen to Jesus would also happen to them. We, too, must lay our lives down and choose the will and way of God's Kingdom over all else. Those in the crowd knew that in Jerusalem, the Jewish religious leaders were plotting and planning Jesus' destruction. To follow Jesus to that degree required denying self and the thrall of the world and its ways, even to the point of laying one's life down by refusing to deny the Lord and His salvation. Jesus turned to the 12 and asked, " Are you also going to leave?" ( John 6:67-...

BEWARE DECEPTION   Deuteronomy 18:9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 12:29-30 “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’ Pragmatics was the downfall of Israel when they took possession of the Promised Land. To the unredeemed eye, it seemed that the fertility gods and agricultural gods of the pagan nations actually were helping the indigenous peoples. Just because something works does not make it right or good.  God promised to prosper His people if they would trust Him to the point of obeying His Word. God's Word is not empty. When He directs and commands, it is always for...
