Word of Encouragement

I realize that we are living in what an old song described as "troublesome times." I fully understand that the spiritual landscape of this world is one that is full of evil, wickedness, and darkness. The headlines from the various media outlets describe a world that appears to be full of more bad news than it is good news. I understand that it is easy to be overwhelmed and frustrated as we see these forces of evil making an impact on our society. But I do not want to leave you in that atmosphere of fear and discouragement. THERE IS HOPE and HIS NAME IS JESUS! According to the prophet Isaiah Christ was born during a time of darkness but He reminded us that the Light came to dispel the powers of darkness. We can put our trust in the True Light of the Gospel! We can rest assured that the Light is shining in the midst of today's darkness and I fully believe that Christ is calling His people to draw near to the True Light. The True Light will provide the direction that each of us need as we continue to place our trust and confidence in the promises of God.
