John 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. We love the darkness so that we can keep on doing what we want without exposure. In this condition, the mind becomes a factory of idols — a fountain of half-truths and lies — anything to protect the evil desires of the heart from exposure and destruction. Our hearts are deceitful. Examine our selves daily

Col_2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. To live, as we do, in a highly sophisticated, technological society brings with it many benefits and animal comforts. It is not surprising, therefore, that all sorts of occult philosophies and religions are gaining ground in society. Man, who is made in the image of God, must have a spiritual explanation for his own existence. Biblical faith affirms that God has revealed all that is necessary to bring us into a living relationship with Himself and to enable us to travel through this world into His presence.

Mat 5:13-16 “You are the salt of the Earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? Its No longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. (14) “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. (15) Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. (16) In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in heaven.” All that God is working in us, he wants to work out, in the world. Too often our Christian gatherings and activities are wrongly introspective. God’s heart is for the lost world. and he wants to turn us loose in it as people who…

1 Sam 25:8-9 Ask your young men—they’ll tell you. What I’m asking is that you be generous with my men—share the feast! Give whatever your heart tells you to your servants and to me, David your son.’” (9) David’s young men went and delivered his message word for word to Nabal. Nabal tore into them, (10) “Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? The country is full of runaway servants these days. We can return evil for good. Nabal did that when he refused to share his food with David’s men. His name means “fool, ” and that is exactly what he was.

dg 4:22 Barak arrived in pursuit of Sisera. Jael went out to greet him. She said, “Come, I’ll show you the man you’re looking for.” He went with her and there he was—Sisera, stretched out, dead, with a tent peg through his neck Sisera’s story sharpens our sense of human vulnerability, of the uncertainty of this short and transitory life. That is a message which the present generation badly needs to hear, as we do everything in our power to distance death and pretend it does not happen. So the wisdom is to fear God and to rejoice in doing His will. Deborah demonstrates what a person can accomplish because God is in control.

Isa 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. The battle was entirely the Lord’s. To use frail, weak, easily smashed clay pots to carry the light of the gospel into the world is an essential ingredient of the divine strategy. Sometimes we find that hard to accept, especially in our world that is devoted to power and success, impressiveness and influence. It runs counter to all that our materialistic culture holds dear. That is why it is so much needed—to challenge the culture’s presuppositions and expose its false values, from the perspective of eternity.
