07/15/12 RUN DON'T WALK
The first thing to do, if you want to Walk in the Light, is to Run from the Darkness. You have no business being in a steeple house that denies LIGHT WALKING. Don't even go there today. If you are not sure, ask the pastor if God requires and enables believers to walk in the light, just as Christ is in the light? If his answer is either, "No." or it is fancy footwork for, "No," then RUN, do not walk, to nearest exit. If you read this too late to avoid the Merchants of Darkness, at least read the comments below, and become a LIGHT WALKER (1 Jn. 1:7).
PASSAGES...
Luke 11:34-36
(34) The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
(35) Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
(36) If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

(9) Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

John 12:35-36
(35) Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
(36) While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

(9) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
(10) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
(11) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
(12) For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
(13) But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Colossians 1:12-13

(6) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
(7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
