Either way we get the picture that there is a definite distinction between Christians and the world in which they live as light against the darkness (Php 2:15).   For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (Eph 5:8). ...]]> http://merkelchurchofchrist.org/2011/12/01/souper-sunday-living-as-children-of-light/feed/ 0 http://merkelchurchofchrist.org/2011/11/17/achieving-god-purpose/ http://merkelchurchofchrist.org/2011/11/17/achieving-god-purpose/#comments Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:26:16 +0000 Cynthia http://merkelchurchofchrist.org/?p=2122                 There are two kinds of people; some find their delight in God’s own word, and some find their delight in the counsel of worldly desires.
