Light in the Darkness
Posted on 29. Oct, 2009 by Brad Graves in Blogs
I am preparing for this Sunday’s message about light in the darkness. I have been considering the question this week “How much light am I shinning in the darkness”?
Tonight I was presented with an opportunity to shine. One of our Assistant Coaches on my sons’ football team just lost it and started swearing and using God’s name as a swear word to the kids. It was obviously inappropriate and it dawned on me, this is my opportunity to shine light in darkness. So I considered what to say and shared in a nice way my concerns about the influence they (the coaches) had over our kids. I also shared that using God’s name like he did was not something I want my 10 year old sons to be around.
We will see what happens in the coming days. In a world full of darkness we have more opportunities to shine than we may realize. I am grateful I was able to shine in this one. How much light are you shining in our dark world?
