"If the light that is in you is darkness,
how great is that darkness."
-Matthew 6:23

We are here to show The Way Home
To be a picture of Heaven
A portent of Life to come
We are meant to house The Light which leads to Safety
and staves off shipwreck
The ersatz "light" we too often allow
to douse and diminish The Flame
drowns out The Still Small Voice
and robs the world of its only Hope
The Hope with which we've been entrusted
The Sacred Fire which Saves
How much of our programming comes from the "light" of our TV's
instead of The Word?
Are we basking in the glow of our phones
Far more often than we are abiding in our God?
We are the white blazes on this trail
And Blaze we must
For all who are lost in these woods
and desperately trying to find The Way
We who are representative of The Resurrection and The Light
have allowed Deity in us to be reduced to tired dogma
Doing our charge, His Beloved World, a grave disservice
May Christ become so concentrated in us
May The Flame burn so brightly
That the world will once again be irresistibly drawn,
Out of Darkness
Into the Light

"I AM The Way, The Truth, The Light"
"As He is, so are we in this world."
-John 14:6, 1 John 4:17
