"For you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light." (Eph. 5:8 NASB) We used to be like people living in a dark place. We couldn't see the things that were tripping us up. We couldn't see the path that led to peace and...

"If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (2 Cor. 4:3-4). Since God...

St. Valentine's Day has grown to symbolize the world's view of love—kisses, chocolate candy, romantic music, poems and pledges of devotion. It represents love's softest, most gentle side. It's sweet but not too strong. In reality, nothing could be further from the...

"But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law." (Gal. 5:18 NASB) The leading of the Spirit is here contrasted to being under the law. Law is any system of rewards and punishments we adhere to. (If you do this, then you'll get that.) That's what law...
