To: John 6.66=Mark of the Beast?

I spend a large portion of my prayer time in praying for the Mercy of God on the world, because of that type of feeling...So many people who need to not just vaguely know about Jesus, but to KNOW Jesus...and be touched by his light.

We are the tools in his hands. He knows that none of us alone can reach everybody, but it is our calling to touch those whose lives we are in contact with.

When you think about all the misery in the world that sin causes, anger, and grief and hunger and fear and despair, it’s overwhelming. But when you bring it down to remembering to be kind, to act justly, to behave mercifully, and to share the light of Christ by both word and, in some ways more importantly, deed with those who you come in contact with, you know it’s a job that is doable.

I see us all as little lanterns. We don’t shine with our own light, but we carry the light of Christ with us, and from that light, other lights get lit. One candle isn’t very bright, but can light a huge number of other candles along the way.
