Good morning. And this is
the message we have heard from Him and announced to you, that God is light, and
in Him there is no darkness at all. Of course we heard this message in the
Gospel of John about Jesus being the light of the world. "In Him was life,
and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and
the darkness did not comprehend it." Those who do evil deeds do not want
the light because the light reveals their wickedness. If we say that we have
fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice
the truth. There are a lot of people sitting in churches that are that way. As
far as religion goes – a little dab will do you. But if we walk in the light as
He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood
of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. That is a powerful statement. It's
not just that we have forgiveness; His blood cleanses us from every sin. If we
say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in
us. That's what those church sitters say to themselves. Some religions demand
penance for forgiveness. You cannot beat the evil out of yourself – nor out of
your children. We don't have to worry that He might not forgive us this time.
That is because He is faithful. And we don't just get forgiveness; He will
cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make
Him a liar, and His word is not in us. Father thank You that the reader always
walks in Your forgiveness. He/she walks in Your light and there is no darkness
in him/her at all!
When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.
Good morning. When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion. Notice that “we“ returns. Luke has not been mentioned during the entire two years that Paul was at Caesarea. I guess it is safe to assume that he was in the area during this time. We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...
