Notes of Grace What's New?New things to talk about... We had a good time with Marvin & Sarah Gochenour yesterday. Please keep them in prayer as they witness at the fair this week. Stop by and see their booth. Grace Baptist sponsored their booth again this year. Verses
of the Week " And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Good
Human Quote “Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, "Shake
well before using." That is what God has to do with some of His people.
He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
” - Vance Havner
Devotional Thought For The Weekby: Henry M. Morris, Ph.D. (Now in Heaven)"In Him Is No Darkness" his then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5) Light is the most fundamental and important form of energy, and energy includes every phenomenon in the physical universe. It is appropriate for John to affirm that God is light, because everything created must reflect the character of its Creator. The term "light," therefore, has come to be applied not only to light in the physical sense, but also to that which is true in the intellectual realm, and holy in the moral realm as well. In terms of truth and genuine knowledge, "the entrance of thy words giveth light" (Psalm 119:130). "In thy light shall we see light" (Psalm 36:9). Without God's truth, there is only darkness. "The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (2 Corinthians 4:4). The Bible also speaks of light as moral holiness. "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. . . . And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them" (Ephesians 5:8, 11). There are still other analogies: "In him was life; and the life was the light of men" (John 1:4). Not only is light symbolic of life itself, but it also depicts God's daily guidance for our lives. "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life" (John 8:12). Since there is no darkness in God, "if we walk in the light as he is in the light" (1 John 1:7), there remains no excuse for any darkness in our lives. "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6).
