This Little Light of Mine

Our last post mentioned the use of a small flashlight as a "card protector." That device can produce light in a couple of ways -- one more effective than the other.

The man next to us at the table noticed the flashlight appeared to be on, when it reflected the ceiling lights. Christians can do the same kind of thing, by reflecting the light of Christ in their lives.

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. - II Corinthians 3:18

Reflected light can appear when we're turned just right -- in this case, toward Jesus. But the more reliable use of our flashlight would come if we installed a battery in it. Jesus put it this way:

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. - Acts 1:8


If you really want spiritual "power and light" together, the best way is by accepting the gift of God's Holy Spirit. If you're not sure how to accomplish that, e-mail us and we'll be glad to help you.
