Turned On or Off?
Quick Review: Let your life shine! was before us yesterday.
Today: “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.”
That’s Matthew 5:14-16 in The Message version. Christ Jesus is pretty clear there; not subtle; nothing to debate, just a call to action.
How you doing with that?
How’s your church doing with that?
How are you doing with that as part of your church?
Just like my daddy used to say
He used to say, “Soulshine
It’s better than sunshine
It’s better than moonshine
Dang sure better than rain
Hey, now people don’t mind
We all feel this way sometime
You got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day”
