In my thirty years of Christianity one of the most poignant lessons I have learned is that following Christ doesn’t make you exempt from the battle, it just causes you to shine through it. I may not be very strong but I’m shiny and I’m impossible to kill! I’m on my way to the hill now to shine my light! 🙂 Anyone care to come along?

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Pastor J! Love the song! God bless shiny you!
May Jesus find us all shining our oil-filled lamps at His return!
Wow!!! What a great message and I will meet you on that hill. May our light be a beacon to draw the lost to Him. Love the video. Thanks, Pastor J for your shiny light and God bless you.
Thanks Deb! Picture a whole host of lamps shining on the crest of a high mountain! 🙂

Thanks Deb!
Thank you, Pastor J
“following Christ doesn’t make you exempt from the battle, it just causes you to shine through it. ”

A-men Ann! Thanks for always being the light God has made you to be! Shining to the end! 🙂
We are called to be lights shining in the darkness of this world.
We cannot do it, but we can and should allow the Light of Christ to shine is us and through us to all we encounter – and also to those we may not encounter but who witness us and our lives.
May we shine brightly for His glory!
A-men and may we shine daily as this present darkness gathers!
He rises “again”… ilike that bit “again!”…. thank you my brother for your exhortation….
