LIGHT

Sitting on the front porch swing and facing east at the dawning of day, one can catch a glimpse of God’s created glory. As the sun creeps over the hill tops of the Big Ridge it splashes forth a kaleidoscope of brilliant light rays. Gradually it cascades into hundreds of light streaks, illuminating fog particles, and heating instantly the things God placed on earth. Located In Fairview, Virginia, a country lad can watch for only a moment; there are things to do and places to go. The high hills hold back the approaching sunlight to burst it forth in a splendor of beauty. It is an awesome and welcome site. The birthing of light into the dark of night, clearly represents the birth of a new day, Move into the light and enjoy the day God gives you to rejoice therein.
Genesis 1:3 “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” (Genesis 1:4) “And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.” (Genesis 1:5) “And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. (Genesis 1:16) “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night:...”
Genesis 1:17 “And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Genesis 1:18 “And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

John 8:12 “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 12:46) “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. (John 9:5) “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Jesus said that he would go away and that we would be the light of the world.
Matthew 5:14 “Ye are the light of the world...”
(Matthew 5:16) “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
1 John 1:5 “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Revelation 22:5 “And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.”
It seems dark at noon when we are confined by the unknown threat of some microscopic creature of attack. Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in Jesus for strengths from his light. Know God, know peace, Amen 06-21-2020 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing ...

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
