What America Really Needs Today

July 4, 2013

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”           

Matthew 5:14-16

You’ve probably had it happen where you’re walking outside on a sunny day and then step into a dark restaurant or store; you can’t see anything. Your eyes need time to adjust. But before they do, you’re completely blind.

Then, after a while, your eyes begin to adjust and you start to be able to make out faces, read, and see other things you couldn’t before. The darkness, which was initially a shock to your eyes, is now something to which you’ve grown accustomed, even to the point that when you go back outside, the light is almost blinding!

When I look at our great nation today, I see a very similar phenomenon occurring. Moral depravity in our media and culture used to be a shock to us. But now, we’ve just grown accustomed to it, some even finding comfort in it.

But in the midst of this darkness, the people of God have a chance to shine brighter than ever. And while the light of Jesus is guaranteed to be rejected by some because of its brightness, others will be pulled out of the darkness and called to live in it.

Our nation needs the light… and we as the church have a chance to shine it. Shine the light of Jesus into our dark world and many in our nation will turn to it and be redeemed!

SHINE YOUR LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS IN AMERICA TODAY AND SHOW OTHERS THE HOPE THEY HAVE IN JESUS!

Get the best from 2012 to be your best in 2013


Dear Friend,

While many pastors shy away from addressing controversial issues, I sincerely believe you need to hear straight, “bulls-eye” biblical teaching on many of today’s hot topics. Not only to grow in your faith as a believer, but to give winsome, compassionate answers to the hard questions our culture is asking.

That’s why I want to send you a special new resource today – my CD series called The Best of 2012.

This series contains 10 of my most popular and compelling messages from 2012, and it’s a resource that’s sure to help you in 2013 because it includes messages such as, “Are All Religions the Same?”, “Lessons on Leadership,” and “What Is a Christian?”

The Best of 2012 is my gift to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint continue to proclaim God’s Word and truth ’til the whole world hears. So please request your copy when you give today.

Thank you!
