It is so easy to “miss it” when you come to a verse that you have read so many times, and it is quoted by others so often. This morning I enjoyed these two simple verses in Ephesians 5:8-9, For you were once darkness but are now light in the Lord; walk as children of […]
Christ as light brings in life, and His shining in us daily saves us, rescues us, and delivers us
This morning I was encouraged to see that every day we need to come to the Lord and spend time with Him for Him to shine on us – and this shining is saving us and rescuing us / delivering us! Christ is the Great Light (Isaiah 9:1-5), the true light (John 1:9), the light […]
a turning point in my attitude toward my Christian life, the Poland European YP Conference 2010 in Male Ciche

In Matthew 1:23 we read: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a […]
2010 Poland conference testimony: Lord, make us so desperate for our birthright today!
So what began as an exciting 19-day summer escape to Europe actually became a 19-day journey of experiencing crucifixion, transformation and resurrection. Traveling and living with four sisters for almost three weeks straight, regardless of the fact that we’re sisters in Christ, will still result in the individual self naturally coming up to frustrate and […]
the greatest thing in the Christian experience is the exposing and the killing that comes from the shining of the light
