May we be the kinds of people who shine the light of hope, the light of love, and grace into a darkened world.

When God calls His people to repent in the Scriptures, He is not merely telling them to feel sorry for what they have done in the past. He invites His people to come home again, to live as they were created to live, a life of harmony with God.

Jesus calls on us to love our enemies: those who hate us, curse us and mistreat us. These are the people we are to love in our actions, not just our words.
