The Light of Advent

Only with a vast amount of light can we combat such brutal darkness.

-Rabbi Yosef

...if the Church which preaches [the gospel] is not living corporately a life which corresponds with it, is living in comfortable cohabitation with the powers of this age, is failing to challenge the powers of darkness and to manifest in its life the power of the living Lord to help and to heal, then by its life it closes the doors which its preaching would open.

-Lesslie Newbigin

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

-Romans 5:8-11

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world...

-Ephesians 6:12
