Love Light Life

Today's blog post is a special one for me. Some readers may recall that the Spirit has been guiding me to launch a non-profit organization called Love Light Life. While the organization has not been officially launched due to my illness and lack of funding, it is most certainly alive and well in my heart. During a recent meditation, I came across some remarks made by T. Austin-Sparks. They explain everything, as you will see.

Sparks says (bold added for emphasis):

"We are familiar with the many divisions amongst God's people, and we know so well how the world has invaded Christianity, and how the world has robbed the churches of their pure testimony. We have to face these conditions. Many of the Lord's people, especially the young people, ask: 'Which of all these is right? Which of these different teachings is the right one? Which of these divisions amongst the Lord's people is the right one?' It is a time of much perplexity, especially for young Christians, and that is why we are looking into this first letter of John. We are going to let John help us, just as he helped the believers of his own day.

So I want to point out three other great words in this letter. For these words are words which will solve many of our problems. Indeed, John said that these were the things that would solve the problems of the Christians in his day. And the three words are: "Light," "Life," and "Love." You will probably remember how often John uses those words. They are the great words of Christianity: Light, Life, and Love. And John links with that last word "Love," the word, "Fellowship." He says a lot about fellowship in this letter."

Isn't it wonderful how the Spirit guides hearts into the truth?

May the Spirit guide your heart into the truth.
