Bold Proclaimers of Gospel Truth.
So refreshing to be together, away from all the chaos that’s going on in our world, and look out and see all your beautiful faces; and thank the Lord that you’re here and worshiping Him. This morning I want to take you to a passage that has been a treasure to me for many, many years. In fact, it’s actually a passage that I spoke on two years ago at a Shepherds’ Conference to all the men that were here. It’s one of those defining portions of Scripture, as I look at my life and my ministry, and your life and your ministry in the kingdom of light. That passage is 2 Corinthians chapter 4, 2 Corinthians chapter 4.
Now we’ve been looking at the idea of the fact that there is revealed in Scripture that the world is made up of two kingdoms. There’s the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. And last time we looked at 2 Corinthians chapter 6, which says light and darkness are incompatible, as incompatible as lawlessness and righteousness, as Satan and Christ, as unbelievers and believers. And so we said that the Word of God calls on us to be separate: “Touch not the unclean thing. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness.” The kingdom of light is not ever helped or advanced by an alliance in a common cause with the kingdom of darkness. Christ does not need Satan to accomplish His purposes, and breaching that reality is what causes all the compromise that infects, and has always infected, the church.
