If You Are Here

If you are here, be encouraged by the presence of the Lord and understand His Will, His good and perfect Will.  How will you know what the Will of the Lord is?  Take a look in His inspired Word, the breath of God: the Holy Bible.  And when you have, consider spending some time with Him, talking to Him as a friend, tell Him your troubles and worries, ask Him for help to cope, thank Him for what He has done for you, and learn more about who He is.

"Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
~John 14:6

If Jesus is the only way to the Father, as He said He was, then our goal is to follow His teachings - they are the way to life.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
~Matthew 28:19

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
~Matthew 7:21

He has shown us throughout the Gospels where to find the Truth of life, how to walk in the way worthy of the Lord, and the Light that fills our hearts.  We are to be like stars in the universe, shining amidst darkness.  When you look up at the stars in the night sky, you see them because of the darkness that surrounds them.  Without the darkness, you couldn't see the stars.  There is darkness that separates each start from the other. They light up the darkness around them.  However, because you can see these stars, we see the beauty of night and all that we want to be.  Be as stars here on earth, evidently illuminating the Light of Christ you hold within, separating ourselves from darkness but lighting up the darkness that is around us.  Walk in the way of the Lord and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, what He as taught us through the Gospels.

"so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky"
~Philippians 2:15

Our Grande Finale Is Here!

Tonight was the last night  of our Summer 2012 Luighthouse Bible study!!

For me, it is bittersweet because of the fact that we are done with college ministry in my hands - I'm moving forward in ministry for God's Kingdom and I am leaving behind something God gave to me to handle.  I'm excited for the new to come with all that God has taught me, but I am sad that I have to end my era in college ministry in Hartsville. 

Tonight, we went over James 5:13-20.

I'll be finishing this month's Bible studies soon, so keep checking in!
