Shine, Baby Shine


28 Days of Light finishes this Sunday. Our sermon series for January concludes this week with a charge from Jesus as recorded in Matthew 5:14-16. I really like how The Message translates it:

Heres another way to put it: Youre here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. Were going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you dont think Im going to hide you under a bucket, do you? Im putting you on a light stand. Now that Ive put you there on a hilltop, on a light standshine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, youll prompt people to open up with God..."
