You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:4-16 NIV) Believer? Are you a believer? The Bible says even satan believes. This is why evil spirits shudder under Jesus’s authority. How about are we engaged in our Christian faith?
