Be The Light!

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Ephesians 5:8-14

You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. —Ephesians 5:8

A friend of mine has the opportunity each winter to attend the Super Bowl as a journalist. His job is to garner interviews with Christian athletes and National Football League personnel for a faith-based radio program.

When he first started covering the big game a few years ago, he grew disillusioned with the self-serving, pleasure-seeking atmosphere during Super Bowl week. “I found it to be a very dark place,” he says.

One day he told a former NFL player, a Christian, how he was feeling. The athlete looked at my friend and said, “Brother, you are being light in this dark place.” That comment reminded my friend why he was there, and it helped renew his excitement for serving God in a place where the light of the gospel is needed. It spurred him to shine his light.

Perhaps you work in a setting where God is not acknowledged, faith is mocked, and godless living is applauded. Maybe you feel that you are going into “a very dark place.”

Why not be a light (Eph. 5:8)—through your smiles, kind words and deeds, and diligent work. Ask God to bring opportunities to share the good news of Jesus Christ. You may be the only light a co-worker sees today.

God put us in this darkened world
To shine as sons of light;
So, help us, Lord, to spread Your Word
And keep our witness bright. —D. De Haan

Our witness for Christ is a light in a dark world.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 25-26; Matthew 20:17-34

Very good message today, Mr. Mayor. I will try to shine some light today anywhere I can.

Thanks for bringing us ODB each day.

Beautiful picture of the white church in all that snow. And the message is lovely also. Thanks, Meg.

It is so cold. I can’t get warm enough today.

[MEG33]

Good Sunday Morning

Thank you, Luv.
May you have a beautiful Lord's Day

"Wishing All a Blessed Sunday"

Decided to post the church
that looks almost identical to my church
Our church is closed today
which is very unusual but the
weather forecast yesterday was terrible.
It looks much better today

[MEG33]

Thank you for your lovely church and rainbow. Happy for you that the weather is better than predicted.
I had a raccoon come to the door and scratch last night. I saw one briefly in the rain last week..I hadn’t seen a raccoon for two months.
I ran out and gave him some sunflower seeds..He was really plump so he is being well fed somewhere!

[MEG33]

Awww..HUGS to your grandson. It’s so hard to lose a pet.

[MEG33]

Thank you, dear Kitty.

[yorkie]

Oh, Meg, thank you so much for posting the ‘flash video’ of “Rainbow Bridge”. It is one of my favorites, and for many years, I have sent (posted) that rendition to folks who have lost a pet.

To this day, I cannot watch it without welling up with tears.

[MEG33]

Good Morning, Conor

Thank you for Amazing Grace and the Navy Hymn.
Amen to your prayer for our troops.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day.

[yorkie]

[yorkie]

Cute picture, JC. Is that your recliner?

[Kitty Mittens]

I Love your Precious Goodnight Graphic from Last Night, Jaycee!
((((Have a Beautiful Day, Dear FRiend)))))

[jaycee]

yorkie, it makes me cry every time....I didn’t view it yesterday ‘cause I didn’t want to cry.

[yorkie]

Polly, I hope you clicked the words “Rainbow Bridge” underneath Meg’s graphic (#2451).

I would have teared up too, sweetie!
