Last night an unthinkable tragedy happened, 5 police officers lost their lives and several were shot and injured. It is heartbreaking. The hate and the evil that has occurred and increased over the last several years is heartbreaking. How did we get to this point as a nation? Such pure hate, such pure evil. Such pure darkness. It is taking over. It's time we light up that darkness with the light of Christ.
"This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin." 1 John 1:5-7
Could it be that we as Christians are letting His light in us dim? Could it be that we are letting it burn out? The world is so concerned about being politically correct, no one wants to offend, no one wants to step on toes. Well, I say, it's time we start stepping on some toes, it's time we stand up and be bold in our faith. It's time to for us to live like Christ and love like Christ. The scripture above says, "if we walk in the light, as He is in the light we have fellowship with one another..." It is time that instead of posting on facebook and crying out in our prayers, "come Lord Jesus" that we realize He is here, He is in us and we need to get to work! There is a lost and hurting world out there and we need to be sharing with them the one and only person who can heal the broken and bring everlasting life to the spiritually dead. The light of Jesus Christ is the one and only thing that can bring us into true unified fellowship with one another.
Will you join me in praying for revival? That we would all wake up and start being bolder and braver than ever. Let not another day go by where you keep His light to yourself. Let's be His light. Let's be His love.
This is one of my favorite songs, this should be our battle cry:
