Be a Light bearer
Psalm 87-89/James 1-2
OT
89:1-2 I will sing of the LORD”s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
NT
1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
:19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry
:26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.
2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
OT Flash Points
Even the pagans will be counted in the number of those who know God
For now you seem to have rejected your Anointed
When will your tender mercies return?
NT Flash Points
Refuse to let the world corrupt us
Favoritism is sin
Do not drag your brothers and sisters into sin
Perspective
Work out into practical life the Light that God has revealed or it becomes darkness
