Glowing in the Night

Display what you believe by how you behave.

You've heard of a stealth bomber,but how about a stealth Christian?Here's a guy who figures that once he's saved,there's nothing else to do.He tries to blend quietly into society so that no one will notice the radical ideas Christians are sometimes known for. A stealth Christian thinks nothing of adopting some of the "harmless" habits and ways of the world. After all, God is a forgiving God, right? We've been saved by grace,not by works, so what's so what's the big deal?

There are two problems with this strategy.First,"you can't ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow!"(Gal. 6:7).Second, God doesn't want His children to fly under the radar. He wants us to be "the light of the world-like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see" ( Matt. 5:14). This is what God wants because this is what people need.

Don't hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all."

MATTHEW 5:15
