Yes, there is darkness in the world. That’s why it’s important for us to allow the light of Christ to shine. Our light may be small, but it will light up a dark room. We want our lights to shine, not to draw attention to us, but to the Light of the World. “In the …
“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought…”(G.K. Chesterton) “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”(Colossians 3:17) Keith MadisonSCORE International
