Turn to the LIGHT!

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. ~ 1 John 1:5 TNIV

Darkness is defined as:

• Not receiving, reflecting, transmitting or radiating light
• Arising from or showing evil traits or desires
• Dismal, gloomy
