Joy In My Heart
I heard a radio ad offering a service they said would replace my fear with peace. Their plan for peace is to show me how to get my money in order so I would be set financially for the rest of my life. The peace that comes from knowing we will have what we need is, indeed, wonderful. The trick is to see that not all peace is the same. To compare the peace that comes from a healthy bank statement with the peace that Jesus brings is to compare the light that comes from a candle with the light that comes from the sun. We can benefit from both kinds of light, but we must see how they are different. Continue Reading →

I knew the Bible says “you are the light of the world” and “let your light shine” and “walk as children of light”, but what does a “lower light” do? Recently I learned this song’s history, and learned what these “lower lights” are. It turns out lives depend on these lower lights and people have died when the lower lights were not burning. Give the song a listen, then come back and we’ll talk about being a “lower light” for the Lord. Continue Reading →
