Becoming the Person You Were Designed to Be (2 of 2)

John 1:6-9
We live in a fallen world. Sometimes we forget this important truth, but it is accurate nonetheless. It's not everyone else who has fallen, it's me, it's you, it's our parents, it's our children, and it's all. We live in a fallen world because it is the choice we have made.

This is why scripture makes so much of the concept of ''light.'' The world needs light. America needs light. Our culture needs light. I need this light. You need this light. John introduced this light.
He was fulfilling his personal designed by fulfilling his divine calling. This is our challenge today. God has called you and me to make the decision, He doesn't force us, but He loving ...
