“You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.(Matthew 5:14, The Message)”
“Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.”
“It has to do with seeing God. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).”
“10-5 space 16-5-14-19-5 space 17-21-5 space 10-5 space 20-1-9-13-5.”
“You're my compass, remember? You're here to light my way in the darkness of this world.”
“Hell is the backdrop that reveals the profound and unbelievable grace of the cross. It brings to light the enormity of our sin and therefore portrays the undeserved favor of God in full color.”
