Be the light...a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

A candle losing nothing by lighting another candle…

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven...Matthew 5:14-16. for you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth), proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord; and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of. But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light...Ephesians 5:8-13. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin...1 John 1:6-7.


Are you light or darkness…do you do what is good and right and true or do you live by some other standard?

The morality of the Ten Commandments is the light unto our feet for if we understand love your neighbor as yourself you will naturally keep the ten commandments. Have you received from any other table other than God…you shall not have no other gods before Me. Have you used God’s name in any other way other than prayer or teaching…you shall not take the name of God in vain. Have you worshipped the created…you shall not make any graven images. Have you kept yourself Holy so you can worship God…remember the sabbath day and to keep it Holy. The Jews had to offer animal sacrifices if they had sin and therefore were in the sinners section unless they kept the other nine commandments. Jesus in talking to the woman at the well said the Father seeks those who walk in Spirit and Truth to worship Him. Have you respected your dad and mom…honor your Father and mother. Have you murdered…you shall not kill. Have you committed sex with another’s spouse…you shall not commit adultery. Have you wanted what God has not given you…you shall not covet. Have you bore false witness or lied…you shall not bear false witness. Have you stolen something not yours…you shall not steal. It is all summed up in what is said by Jesus…


and you shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this, You shalt love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these...Mark 12:30-31.
