 Let it SHINE (BarbaraJ)

One of the first songs that I remember singing with my Granny Barnes - my mother - & my father was "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine - this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine = let it shine - let it shine - let it shine" (while all of us had our index finger waving and then taking the other hand to cover the candle), we would sing "Hide it under a bushel = Oh No ! = I'm gonna let it shine" (as we would smile and quickly remove the covering bushel) Then came the last phrase, "Not gonna let ole Satan blow it out (huffing to blow out the light) I'm gonna LET IT SHINE" As you might know, it was repeated many a time not only in my childhood, but passed on through the years with my three children and four grandchildren. With every stanza there was always laughter and joy that only comes through our Savior. "The unfolding of Thy words gives LIGHT, it gives understanding to the simple" Ps. 119:105 ".You are the LIGHT of the world, a city set on a hill cannot be hidden. LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Matt. 5:14,16 Read More »

 Reflection and Response (JeffJones)

Brother Tommy recaps what we have learned over the past several weeks by pointing out what makes these groups a cult or ism. First he quotes King Solomon from Ecclesiastes 1:9 "There is nothing new under the sun." Then he goes on to tell us why they are attractive and capitalize on lapses in Christian Churches and teachings called by one writer, ‘unpaid bills.’ What is the right approach to these groups? Should they be left alone? Should they be stopped? Hear what Brother Tommy says about balance on this and other questions. What part does Satan play in the forming and perpetuation of these groups? Have you ever wondered how this approach works on Christians? Around the 24 minute mark, Brother Tommy gives a good example of how he and I (about age 11) could have agreed with a television program from one of these groups if we had not known the origins. So what do all cults and isms have in common? Next week, because of the Mayan and Nostradamus controversies I want to start a series Brother Tommy did on ‘End Times.’ Read More »
