Is the Darkness a Part of the Light?

There is no darkness in God, but that doesn't mean He doesn't use it for purposes for good. In a real sense God has a mind, and that mind is full of love, God is a Spirit and He is love. You can say that God has a conscience and that mind is found in the word of God. When evil prevails in the world, the way back is to follow the light and the truth. Behind the veil of light is darkness, the unknown about God that He hasn't revealed to humanity. The darkness hides His presence, the light manifests it. The darkness that hides God's glory is a part of His consciousness. God never changes and hides Himself so to speak from the mind that has rejected Him. The bible calls the darkness a covering, where the Lord comes to send His judgement into the world.

When God gave the Ten Commandments to the present day, the Lord is the same. Darkness cannot hide the light, and it cannot cover the light. When people suppress the truth, the darkness expands, but as this happens the candle of the Lord's Presence is just as real and available as it always is. Opening up to the door of the light of God, just takes a crack, just a little bit of light and truth in a room can light up the whole room. You see this when you light a candle in a dark room.

We can see the darkness in moments of history where there was great evil, or moments in our lives where we were terrorised. There never comes a time when the light is fully extinguished in this life, because in order for darkness to exist the presence of truth must exist in order to defeat it. Jesus Christ is the embodiment of truth and light in this world, and His presence puts away the darkness for good. He defeated the darkness completely by his death on the cross, and continues to defeat the darkness by His life in Heaven. One day he will come back to this earth to manifest His full Glory and to save those who are waiting for Him. Even though darkness was completely defeated by Jesus Christ, we can live in a dark world sometimes, and when we do, we can constantly open the door to Jesus, and let the light in. This is Mike.

Catholic Identity.

I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
