what is the bushel and what is the candlestick? Romans 8 describes how we each choose to walk either after the flesh or the Spirit. The flesh conceals the manifested Glory of God and the Spirit reveals love joy peace long suffering gentleness goodness temperance and faith from which the light that shines like a lighthouse to ships in a storm we will shine so to lead others to Jesus

We as Saints are responsible for behaving and acting like Christ. To let the world see you are different and not of the world but a peculiar people. By shining your light others will want what you have Joy,Peace , and Love.
