TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - AUGUST 14, 2024

Walking in the Light and in Love

Today August 14, 2024

Welcome to your mid-week!

As Christians we need to be walking in the light of Christ. As plants bend toward the sun, so we need to be bending toward

virtue,

purity,

modesty,

devotion,

faith,

friendship,

peace,

generosity,

patience,

partnership,

agreement,

harmony,

kindness,

moderation,

self-restraint,

and, most importantly,

love.

And the reason we need to, according to Apostle John, is not for all the positive ways such actions impact people. It is because, if we do not walk in the light, we become

false teachers.

In fact, Apostle John, in his 2nd letter, calls those who claim to be Christian and do not walk in love ‘the deceiver’ and ‘the anti-Christ.’ That such people do ‘wicked work.’

This is not who we are supposed to be.

So, let us walk in the light and love of Christ, bending toward his light each day. For the light we reflect is making an impact.

God’s blessing upon you as meditate on your walk, what you are reflecting, and the people you are impacting, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.

- Rev. Frank Kim
