I will share about Christian books I have read or listened to.
I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.
A Light for All Nations
Have you ever seen a lighthouse up close?
For those who find themselves stuck out at sea—while winds are howling, waves are crashing, and darkness is blacker than black—a lighthouse can mean the difference between life and death. They aren’t just cute landmarks, but important navigational guides and essential beacons of hope.
In Isaiah 60, the prophet describes a vision that portrays a lighthouse of sorts: God's glory shining bright for all the world to see...
“All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance.”
Isaiah 60:3 (NLT)
Without the light of God, we are all blind and hopeless. But because He made us and loves us, He has revealed the brightest light of all...
Isaiah 46:6 spoke of a coming Messiah that would be “a light to the Gentiles." And that prophecy—along with hundreds of others—was fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12). His light shines into the darkness, and darkness cannot overcome it (John 1:5). Isaiah 60:19-20 goes on to say that the Lord will actually be an everlasting light, one that needs no source and will never grow dim.
Jesus explained that His people would receive power from the Holy Spirit to tell the world about Him—beginning in Jerusalem and spreading to the ends of the earth. So, if you're follower of Christ, be confident that you have been empowered to share and shine His light!
God So Loves You
If you’ve experienced any part of the Bible, you probably know that John 3:16 highlights a vital part of the gospel message…
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 NIV
Think about it:
“For God so loved the world …”
God didn’t merely like the world, but He loved the world. He loved you so much that He created you, made a way for you, and desired a forever relationship with you.
“… that he gave his one and only Son …”
Because of God’s immense love for the world, He gave—generously and sacrificially—His one and only Son … because it’s only through His death that we can have life.
“… that whoever believes in him …”
It’s not enough to know that Jesus existed as a real, historical person—James 2:19 reminds us that even the demons believe that and shudder. Believing in Jesus means we choose to trust Him as Savior and Master...
