When Saul was in desperate trouble he sought a medium – the witch at En Dor – to raise Samuel from the dead (1 Samuel 28).

Christianity is a job for you and me! We have been given work to accomplish, and we are promised payment. God clearly and emphatically demands that we produce. Understanding our job and the kind of work we need to complete is a vital part of our calling and of our future reward.
Throughout the Bible, we find a clear separation between light and darkness. As children of light, we must not have any fellowship or communion with the works of darkness. But many today do not know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness. The world rejected the true Light, Jesus Christ, at the time of His first Coming. Not much has changed. Very few today are willing to come to the God of Light, Life and Truth–while most continue to follow Satan, the prince of darkness, who transforms himself into an “angel of light.” And so do his ministers.

Are you letting your light shine brightly in the midst of a perverse and crooked generation?
