Light On in LifeWritten by Terry Dashner

Do you agree with this Biblical truth? Ask Lord to help you with your unbelief. Your life is too valuable to God, to this world, to miss living with impact simply because you can’t get this truth into your heart. All things are possible to him who believes, according to Bible. Why would someone not believe that her life is meaningful? Many have been told that they were a mistake. Many have believed lie of enemy that they are just a lump of flesh, suspended in space and time, to exist and then die. But this is not true. The Bible says that you are made in image and likeness of God. The Bible says that you are wonderfully and gloriously made. The prophet Jeremiah said that God called him to his life-long purpose from his mother’s womb. The Bible says that you’ve been in mind of God from eternity past. A life this significant should certainly have purpose. And if it has purpose, then it can impact world around it. That’s right. Because God created you in purpose, you are significant in this world. The Kingdom of God is your domain. And as you move through this life in Kingdom of Light, you spoil works of darkness. As darkness flees, you stand in its vacated spot as light and salt. You bring Light of Christ so that others may see, and you stand as salt against rottenness of evil and despair. This is impact. This is your life. Keep faith. Stay course. Jesus is coming soon.

| | Start here...first principles (D)Written by Terry Dashner
Continued from page 1
I’m going to end this series by reminding you how it started. Key are first principles. They apply to argument and science in general. The Law of Noncontradiciton—all conclusions can’t be right, Law of Identity—if A is identified as A it can’t be C, and Law of Exclude middle are first and basic principles of logic. All truth must be logical, although not all logic is truth. Then again, just as you must continue to put gas in your automobile because of second law of thermodynamics, so universe must have a source outside it, or it cannot be sustained indefinitely. Food for thought. Is there a worldview that lines up with these basic laws? Yes, but only one. It is theistic worldview. The theists believe in one God of heaven. He created all things, and by Him all things exists. The theists agree with first principles related to nature of truth, nature of cosmos, and existence and knowability of an infinitely powerful, intelligent, and unchanging Being (Logos). Time does not allow me to lay out other topics that theism embraces, i.e., law, human rights, evil (real and not illusion), and ethics. Theism offers a rational justification for, and coherent explanation of, questions arising from a study of these issues. [Ibid, p. 140] Keep faith. Stay course. Jesus is coming soon and very soon.
