Devotional: Darkness has no definition without Light. Darkness is merely the absence of Light and not the other way around. So when we shine for CHRIST around others, shadows are born. Those who were once Lost in the dark without knowledge nor evidence of HIS radiance, shrink back at the first because of how bright HE truly is. Yet many will in the spirit of seeker sensitive go too far and permit darkness a small window. To use a simple analogy, no bad apple when placed into a bucket of good apples has no effect. Carefully weight that which you use to attract the Lost to CHRIST. A diluted light is doubly dangerous in that its complacency skews the unbeliever to assume that there is little pain in the transfer from walking with the world to walking in Light. It also does damage to ones message and mission. Christianity, as I have stated often times, is an exclusive path. We are told in HIS WORD, No man cometh to the Father unless I draw him. We plant seed, others water, but only GOD gives the increase. Thus when a diluted message is presented by a dim light, the seed has no staying power nor any endurance. Therefore, its faith perishes and it returns to its old ways. Are you then seeking the Lost for CHRIST with temporal or eternal mindset? Let us examine ourselves and our ministries closely. There is no middle ground. Amen and amen.Exclusive LightWhen Light is removed from ones presenceonly darkness remainsonly sins complete stain and no rescue from flesh can be present.Hence the shadows existence needs lightelse no difference is shownwhen removed is CHRISTs glow.So, HIS beacon exposes the night.It is every last demons design,which HIS radiance destroysyea, each devils last ploy for none can remain whilst we shine.Thus, HIS sunlight must be poured through usand be always displayeduntil all of Heavn rays best represent our LORD JESUS. Now take note of your lighting and standattracting those Lostand not all at all costslest the darkness crush your open hand!As HIS servant in your service,W.V.W. Jasnoch11/10/07
