PASTOR’S MESSAGE

From the beginning ofcreation, God made light anddarkness and he separated themone from another. He made dayand night and He made goodand evil, order and chaos,understanding and ignorance,wisdom and foolishness, lifeand death. Now science tells usthat darkness is merely theabsence of light. You cannotburn a light that makes theroom dark. This holds true alsoin the spiritual world. Evil andDeath exist where there is nogoodness of life. Therefore asChristians we must have thelight of Jesus in our life. Wemust fill our minds with the

word of God. We must do goodworks and we must be full oflove because only the positivethings have any reality inthemselves.
