LIFE’S PRINCIPLE:
LIGHT THAT LEADS TO LIFE
A family once visited a cave in the state of Kentucky. The guide led them through many beautiful and winding subterranean passageways. Suddenly, he turned off all the lights and said, “I’m the only one who knows how to get back to the entrance. If I leave you here, you will probably never find your way out. Anyone lost in this cave
would no doubt go insane within a week because of the oppressive loneliness. Be quiet for a moment and feel the
darkness.”
After about thirty seconds, someone in the group could endure it no longer and cried out, “Turn on the lights! I’m
going crazy!”

In the same way, this world would be lost in darkness without the Light of the World, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Follow Jesus and make Him your guide in this darkened world. He alone can lead you safely through life's uncertainties and bring you into His marvelous light.

LIFE’S PRINCIPLE:
IMITATE THE RIGHT THING.
I remember sitting in a church lobby one Christmas season.
Nearby stood a Christmas tree, where a three-year-old girl
was playing with the ornaments. Wanting to amuse her, I decided to show her a few tricks. I took a small ornament and made it look as though I had swallowed it. Then, I moved my hand behind her neck to make it appear I was pulling
something from it. Finally, I told her to blow on my hands—and presto! The disappeared ornament was
right back in my palm.

The little girl watched in complete amazement. She clapped her hands and begged me to do it again and again. After a while, I stepped away for a moment. When I returned, I was horrified to see her trying to swallow the very same
ornament. She was trying to imitate me, and she easily could
have choked.

As we live our lives, people watch and imitate us. Therefore,
let us follow God’s example, so that when others copy our
actions, they are imitating the right thing.

Ephesians 5:1
“Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.”

LIFE’S PRINCIPLE:
LOVE OF MONEY, MISSING HEAVEN

Judas worked with Jesus and witnessed all the miracles
He performed. Among the disciples, he was one of the
most trusted because he served as the treasurer. A finance officer holds a trusted position in any
organization.
He loved money so much that he betrayed the Lord Jesus.
The chief priests sent soldiers along with Judas, and he
identified Jesus by kissing Him in the Garden of Gethsemane. In return for this betrayal, Judas was paid thirty pieces of silver. Later, when Judas finally realized
his mistake, it was too late—he had already traded the Lord for money.

The choices we make define our lives—choose wisely.

LIFE’S PRINCIPLE:
ONLY GOD IS ALL-KNOWING
I constantly receive email after email saying, “Read this
and forward it to ten, fifteen, or twenty people, and your
wish will come true or something good will happen to you.” The sad part is that these are often forwarded by Christians.
It reminds me of the story of a crystal-gazer who collected $25 for a reading and told her visitor, “This
entitles you to ask me two questions.” “Isn’t that a lot of
money for only two questions?” the startled visitor asked. “Yes, madam, it is,” answered the fortune-teller
gravely. “And now, what is your second question?”
Not only are these people making money off of you, but
by participating, you are violating the Word of God.
Nobody knows what tomorrow holds except God.

LIFE’S PRINCIPLE:
INSTRUCTION
A Sunday school teacher instructed her students to keep
quiet as they were on their way to the church service.
“And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?” the teacher asked.
One bright little girl replied, “Because people are
sleeping.”
Kidding aside, we go to church to learn and receive instruction from the Word of God. Don’t sleep on it.

LIFE’S PRINCIPLE:
DON’T LOSE HEART
It was said that one of Napoleon’s marshals reported to him, saying, “General, I fear the battle is lost.” Napoleon calmly looked at his watch and replied, “Then it is time for another battle. Call the army to a fresh charge.” He never lost heart in battle, which is why he was called Napoleon the Great.

Winston Churchill once delivered one of his most memorable speeches: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, and we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender.”

The Word of God tells us, “…If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”
There is no reason to be discouraged; we are on the side of victory.

LIFE’S PRINCIPLE:
GOD’S AGENDA
They had already been walking
for a day after attending
the Feast of the Passover when
they realized that the
twelve-year-old Jesus was not
with them. It took another day for them to return. When they found Him, He was in the temple with
the teachers of the law, and
everyone was amazed at His understanding. His earthly
parents were upset, but Jesus said, “Why were you looking for Me? Didn’t you know that I had to be about My Father’s business?”
Was Jesus trying to be disrespectful? Not at all.
He simply knew His purpose in coming from heaven to
earth.

We are all created by God for a purpose, and it is God’s
agenda for our lives: to love Him and live for Him.

Be in the house of God and
know God’s agenda and
purpose for your life.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER
God is love, and He expects everyone to love one
another.
A story is told about an old man who met two travelers
along the road. One was greedy, avaricious, and
covetous; the other was jealous and envious. When they
came to a crossroads, the old man said he would give
them a gift before they parted ways. The gift was this:
whoever made a wish first would have his wish fulfilled,
and the other man would receive double what the first
had asked for.
The greedy man knew what he wanted, but he was
afraid to make his wish because he could not accept the
fact that his companion would receive double his wish.
The envious man was also unwilling to wish first. So
each waited for the other to go first until the greedy
man grabbed his fellow traveler by the throat, saying he
would choke him to death unless he made his wish.
The envious man finally said, “Alright, I will make my
wish. I wish to be blind in one eye.” Immediately, he lost
sight in one eye—and his companion became blind in
both eyes.
When we love one another, we think more about what
is best for others than for ourselves. God the Son gave
Himself to die for us so that we might live with Him.

LIFE’S PRINCIPLE:
OBEY GOD AND BE HEALED
The story of this man is found
in the Gospel of Gospel of John
chapter 5. He had been crippled
for 38 years, lying beside the
pool where an angel would stir
the water, and the first person
to enter would be healed. But because he was crippled, others always went ahead of him. For
38 years he waited in hope until Jesus came and compassionately asked,
“Do you want to be healed?”
The man replied, “Yes,” and
Jesus immediately said, “Stand
up, pick up your mat, and walk!”
What a miracle! The man everyone had seen sitting there for 38 years was now walking. Yet instead of celebrating, the people said, “It is unlawful to carry your mat on the
Sabbath!”
Many people miss the miracle because they focus more on the rules than on the Ruler who is
the Lord.
