LETTING OUR LIGHT SHINE

TO SHINE AS LIGHTS, WE MUST LIVE LIVES OF INTEGRITY AND “HOLD FAST” THE WORD OF LIFE…

1. Some translations read “hold forth”, Certainly we should do both…
2. Hold fast the Word of life by paying attention to it by our study and obedience to it- 2 Timothy 2:15, Ezra 7:10
3. “Hold forth” the Word of life (by offering it to those in the world) – Mark 16:15
4. In both ways, we are to be like “The Statue Of Liberty”
5. Showing the way
6. Offering hope to those in need. – Read 2 Corinthians 4:8-18

Philippians 2:14-16 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
