Rejection, defeat, bouts of depression;  a heart grown cold, callous; your lives are but a vapor yet you continue to struggle, to hold on endeavoring to maintain the status quo. Refusing correction, demanding your rights, your privilege; ego, sin, self-serving pride lurk behind a mask of man made success, self esteem, pomp and piety.

Clouds gather, men seek light. Light shines, men hide their eyes. Blinded by light, in their pursuit of happiness, tainted by the dazzling glare of make believe, pretense and imagination;  darkness disguised as light cast a dim shadow over lives shattered by shame and success, separated from God. 

'Behold, all you [enemies of your own selves] who attempt to kindle your own fires [and work out your own plans of salvation], who surround and gird yourselves with momentary sparks, darts, and firebrands that you set aflame!--walk by the light of your self-made fire and of the sparks that you have kindled [for yourself, if you will]! But this shall you have from My hand: you shall lie down in grief and in torment.' Isaiah 50:11

My Light shines in darkness. Brilliant Light, The Light of Life, yet men prefer darkness to My Light. But what will you do when darkness begins to consume? Even now, for those with eyes to see, evil slowly, steadily chocks life from America and her people. Carnage, destruction, death continues to mount as sin sweeps across the nation. What started as a trickle has become a gushing river washing over an unsuspecting and unregenerate nation, a nation bent on self destruction through self gratification. Families destroyed, lives torn apart, spirits crushed, souls battle weary, weak and worn. Charging ahead without armor or sword, dependent on self, fighting in their own strength, the battle is lost before it begins. 

A battle for the souls of man rages; it is a battle we cannot afford to lose.
