The Light Shines in the Darkness and the Darkness Can Never Extinguish or Overpower It

In Acts 7, Stephen was stoned to death for being the Light in the darkness.  On the same day that he was martyred, great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem.  Everyone, except the apostles, were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.  However, those who had been scattered preached the gospel wherever they went.  Despite the great persecution, the church grew and thrived.  The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish or overpower it.  Jesus has called us to be the Light that shines in the darkness.  Let us shine our Light of joy in the darkness of depression and sadness.  Let us shine our Light of peace in the darkness of fear, anxiety and worry.  Let us shine our Light of love in the darkness of hatred, conflict and division.  Listen to this titled episode and be encouraged because the darkness can never extinguish your Light.    Please visit us at www.wearscriptures.com to purchase Christian clothing, art, puzzles, etc.  Strengthen your faith.  Wear Scriptures!  If these Podcasts have blessed you, please consider donating at www.paypal.me/wearscriptures or donate on our website.  You can also donate by check.  The address is Wear Scriptures, PO Box 470284, Celebration, FL 34747.  Your gift helps us to spread the gospel.  Deuteronomy 1:11 says, "May the LORD, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised."  May God bless you.  Shalom.  Affiliate Marketing  Please visit www.kingdomshoppe.com for unique gifts, and quality brands such as electronics, home décor, jewelry, fragrances and more.  Enhance your Kingdom.  Buy kingdomshoppe.com.  Special Offers  Ephesians 6:12 tells us that we are in a spiritual war.  The Spiritual Warfare Bible helps believers use God's Word to access the power of the Holy Spirit against demonic strongholds and activity.  Get your copy for only $49.99, a 30% discount for a limited time.  Please visit https://shop.charismamag.com/collections/bible/products/spiritual-warfare-bible-leather?ref=7qxohu705k to get your copy.  Introducing the Charisma Plus App.  The Charisma Plus App is free and offers Christ centered podcasts, interviews with Christian leaders, the Charisma magazine and Christian articles all designed to strengthen your faith.  Simply click or type the following link to register. https://play.charismaplusapp.com/subscribe?code=dionneC
